Question

A customer of a broker-dealer is a sophisticated investor and is interested in purchasing the shares of XYZZ Corporation, a company that has recently gone public and is thinly traded in the Pink OTC Market. The customer contacts his agent to buy the shares, but the agent does not see any shares offered in the market so he contacts one of the officers of the company to see if that officer has shares that she wishes to sell. The officer agrees to sell some of her shares under Rule 144, so the broker recontacts the customer to tell him that he has found the shares that the customer wishes to buy. In this scenario, the agent has:

Answer 1

B made an offer to sell to the customer

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is given that customer contacted the agent for purchasing the shares but there is no shares that are offered in the market so he would reach to the officer that she is able to sell some of her shares and at the same time the officer agrees and according to this he contacted to the customer

So here the agent has made the offer for selling the shares to the customer

Therefore, the option B is correct
