exchange distribution

The sale of a large block of stock on the floor of an exchange in which a member solicits numerous buyers, each of whom takes a portion of the block. All the buy orders are combined, crossed with the orders to sell, and reported as a single trade. An exchange distribution is facilitated by the fact that buyers usually do not have to pay a commission. Compare exchange acquisition.
