Undersubscribed describes a situation in a new securities issue subscription process.

When the issue is "undersubscribed", fewer commitments to buy are received from the market than the number of available securities.


Sub-underwriter's commitment
"A sub-underwriter is a member of a new issue syndicate who agrees to buy a certain proportion of the issue from the managers should the issue be undersubscribed.
They receive an underwriting fee and a selling concession on the principal amount of the securities for which they may subscribe."
