Study Notes
IPO Types
- Fresh Issue of Shares: New shares issued by the company to public investors, raising funds for company purposes.
- Offer for Sale: Existing shareholders sell their shares to the public; funds go to the sellers, not the company.
Follow-on Public Offer (FPO)
- Issued by companies that have previously conducted an IPO, introducing new securities to the public.
Modes of Issue
- Preferential Issue: Securities issued to a selected group, like promoters or strategic investors, rather than the general public.
- Rights Issue: Existing shareholders are granted the right to purchase newly issued shares proportionate to their holdings.
- Bonus Issue: Additional shares issued to existing shareholders at no extra cost, based on their current shareholdings.
Regulatory Requirements
