the underwriting bank sets the price, as they are the ones issuing it to the public. Lets say Lehman Brothers wants to take company X public, they evaluate the company at around 32$/share, they pay company 28$/share, and then unload the stocks to the public. They acquire the shares at a discount because they are taking the risk of underwriting the stock.
