With firm commitment underwriting, the issuing firm: Knows upfront the amount of money it will receive from the stock offering.

Explanation:

A follow-up bid is a issuance of the stock after the company's initial public bid (often, but wrongly called a secondary deal). The number of outstanding shares is raised and this results in a dilution of the earnings per share as new shares are generated and then sold by the company.

For example, a business had 1,000 stock shares of $100 per share. Therefore, the worth of the whole company prior to the bid is 1,000x 100 or 100,000 dollars. The firm would gain $90,000 in the deal if it sells a secondary 1,000 share at $90 per share.
