Procedure for IPO & Book Building
Introduction
To keep pace with the globalization and liberalization process,the government of India was very keen to bring the capital
market in line with international practices through gradual
deregulation of the economy. It led to liberalisation of capital
market in the country with more expectations from primary
market to meet the growing needs for funds for investment in
trade and industry. Therefore, there was a vital need to
strengthen the capital market which, it felt, could only beachieved through structural modifications, introducing new
mechanism and instruments, and by taking steps for
safeguarding the interest of the investors through more
disclosures and transparency. As such, an important mechanism
named as Book building in the system of initial public offerings
(IPOs) was recognised by SEBI in India after having the
recommendations of the committee under the chairmanship of
Y. H. Malegam in October, 1995. SEBI guidelines recognizedbook building as an alternative mechanism of pricing. Under
this approach, a portion of the issue is reserved for institutional
and corporate investors.
SEBI guidelines, 1995 defines book building as a process
undertaken by which a demand for the securities proposed to be
issued by a body corporate is elicited and built up and the pricefor such securities is assessed for the determination of the
quantum of such securities to be issued by means of a notice,
circular, advertisement, document or information memoranda or
offer document. Book building process is a common practice

used in most developed countries for marketing a public offer of
equity shares of a company. However, book building is a
transparent and flexible price discovery method of initial public
offerings (IPOs) in which price of securities is fixed by theissuer company along with the Book Running Lead Manager
(BRLM) on the basis of feedback received from investors as
well as market intermediaries during a certain period.
Initial purchase offer (IPO)
An initial public offering or initial purchase offer (IPO),
referred to simply as an "offering" or "flotation", and is when acompany (called the issuer) issues common stock or shares to
the public for the first time. They are often issued by smaller,
younger companies seeking capital to expand, but can also be
done by large privately owned companies looking to become
publicly traded. In an IPO the issuer obtains the assistance of an
underwriting firm, which helps determine what type ofsecurity
to issue (common orpreferred), best offering price and time tobring it to market.
Procedure
IPOs generally involve one or more investment banks known as
"underwriters". The company offering its shares, called the
"issuer", enters a contract with a lead underwriter to sell its
shares to the public. The underwriter then approaches investors
with offers to sell these shares.
The sale (allocation and pricing) of shares in an IPO may take
several forms. Common methods include:
Best efforts contract
Firm commitment contract

A large IPO is usually underwritten by a "syndicate" ofinvestment banks led by one or more major investment banks
(lead underwriter). Upon selling the shares, the underwriters
keep a commission based on a percentage of the value of the
shares sold (called the gross spread). Usually, the lead
underwriters, i.e. the underwriters selling the largest proportions
of the IPO, take the highest commissionsup to 8% in some
cases.
Multinational IPOs may have many syndicates to deal with
differing legal requirements in both the issuer's domestic market
and other regions. For example, an issuer based in the E.U. may
be represented by the main selling syndicate in its domestic
market, Europe, in addition to separate syndicates or selling
groups for US/Canada and for Asia. Usually, the lead
underwriter in the main selling group is also the lead bank in theother selling groups.
Because of the wide array of legal requirements and because it
is an expensive process, IPOs typically involve one or more law
firms with major practices in securities law, such as the Magic
Circle firms of London and the white shoe firms of New York
City. Public offerings are sold to both institutional investors and
retail clients of underwriters. A licensed securities salesperson (
Registered Representative in the USA and Canada ) selling
shares of a public offering to his clients is paid a commission
from their dealer rather than their client. In cases where the

salesperson is the client's advisor it is notable that the financial
incentives of the advisor and client are not aligned.
In the US sales can only be made through a final prospectus
cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investmentdealers will often initiate research coverage on companies so
their Corporate Finance departments and retail divisions can
attract and market new issues.
The issuer usually allows the underwriters an option to increase
the size of the offering by up to 15% under certain circumstance
known as the greenshoe or overallotment option
Why Book Building?
The abolition of the Capital Issue Control Act, 1947 has brought
a new era in the primary capital markets in India. Controls over
the pricing of the issues, designing and tenure of the capital
issues were abolished. The issuers, at present, are free to make
the price of the issues. Before establishment of SEBI in 1992,the quality of disclosures in the offer documents was very poor.
SEBI has also formulated and prescribed stringent disclosure
norms in conformity to global standards.
Book building acts as scientific method through which a
consensus price of IPOs may be determined on the basis of
feedback received from most informed investors who are
institutional and corporate investors like, UTI, LICI, GICI,
FIIs, SFCI etc. The method helps to make a correct
evaluation of a companys potential and the price of its
shares.

The main drawback of free pricing was the process of pricing of
issues. The issue price was determined around 60-70 days
before the opening of the issue and the issuer had no clear idea
about the market perception of the price determined. Thetraditional fixed price method of tapping individual investors
suffered from two defects: (a) delays in the IPO process and (b)
under-pricing of issue. In fixed price method, public offers do
not have any flexibility in terms of price as well as number of
issues. From experience it can be stated that a majority of the
public issues coming through the fixed price method are either
under-priced or over-priced. Individual investors (i.e. retail
investors), as such, are unable to distinguish good issues frombad one. This is because the issuer Company and the merchant
banker as lead manager do not have the exact idea on the fixed
pricing of public issues. Thus it is required to find out a new
mechanism for fair price discovery and to help the least
informed investors. Thats why, Book Building mechanism, a
new process of price discovery, has been introduced to
overcome this limitation and determine issue price effectively.
Public offers in fixed price method involve a pre issue cost of 2-
3% and carry the risk of failure if it does not receive 90% of the
total subscription. In Book Building such cost and risks can be
avoided because the issuer company can withdraw from the
market if demand for the security does not exist.
Book Building and Fixed Price Option in the IPOs
A company may raise capital in the primary capital market
through initial public offers (IPOs), rights issues and private
placement. IPOs, the largest sources of funds in the primary

capital market, to the company are basically an invitation by a
company to the public to subscribe to its securities offered
through prospectus. In fixed price process in IPOs, allotments of
shares to all investors are made on proportionate basis.
Institutional investors normally are not interested to participate
in fixed price public issues due to uncertainty of allotment and
lack of opportunity cost. On the other, they like to participate
largely in book built transactions as in this process the costs of
public issue and the time taken for the completion of the entire
process are much lesser than the fixed price issues. In Book
Building the price is determined on the basis of demandreceived or at price above or equal to the floor price whereas in
fixed price option the price of issues is fixed first and then the
securities are offered to the investors. In case of Book Building
process book is built by Book Runner Lead Manager (BRLM)
to know the everyday demand whereas in case of fixed price of
public issues, the demand is known at the close of the issue.

Regulatory Framework:
The Book Building guidelines were first introduced by SEBI in1995 (clarification XIII, dated 12.10.95) for optimum price
discovery of corporate securities. The SEBI, from time to time
modifies the guidelines in order to upgrading the existing
mechanism. The SEBI in its press release dated 7th September,
1998 prescribed the fresh guidelines for book building
mechanism after thorough modification and it was again
modified in 2001(dated 6.12.2001) and 2003(dated 14.08.2003).
According to the SEBI, a public issue through Book Buildingroute should consist of two portions:
(a) The Book Building portion and
(b) The fixed price portion.
The fixed price portion is conducted like normal public issues
(conventionally followed earlier) after the book built portion
during which the issue price is fixed after the bid closing date.Basically, an issuer company proposing to issue capital through
book building shall comply with the guidelines prescribed by
SEBI. However, the main theme of SEBI guidelines regarding
book building can be presented at a glance in the following
manner:
Offer to public through Book building process
The process specifies that an issuer company may make an issue
of securities to the public through prospectus in the following
manner:
-

100% of the net offer to the public through book building
process, or
75% of the net offer to the public through book building
process and 25% of the net offer to the public at the pricedetermined through book building process.
100% of the net offer to the public through100% Book
Building process
The net offer to the public, under this process shall be fully
underwritten by the syndicate members/book running lead
managers. The syndicate members are to enter into an
underwritten agreement with the BRLMs indicating the number
of securities which they would like to subscribe at the pre-
determined price and BRLMs shall in turn enter into an
underwritten agreement with the issuer company. If thesyndicate members are not able to fulfill their underwritten
obligations, the BRLMs shall be responsible for bringing in the
amount involved. The bid remains open for at least five days.
The date of opening as well as closing of the bidding, the names

and addresses of BRLMs, syndicate members, bidding terminals
for accepting the bids must be mentioned in the advertisement.
SEBI is regulator to control Indian capital market. Since its
establishment in 1992, it is doing hard work for protecting the interests
of Indian investors. SEBI gets education from past cheating with naive
investors of India. Now, SEBI is more strict with those who commit
frauds in capital market.
The role of security exchange board of India (SEBI) in regulating Indian
capital market is very important because government of India can only
open or take decision to open new stock exchange in India after getting
advice from SEBI.
If SEBI thinks that it will be against its rules and regulations, SEBI can
ban on any stock exchange to trade in shares and stocks.
Now, we explain role of SEBI in regulating Indian Capital Market more
deeply with following points:
1. Power to make rules for controlling stock exchange :
SEBI has power to make new rules for controlling stock exchange in
India. For example, SEBI fixed the time of trading 9 AM and 5 PM in
stock market.
2. To provide license to dealers and brokers :
SEBI has power to provide license to dealers and brokers of capital
market. If SEBI sees that any financial product is of capital nature, then
SEBI can also control to that product and its dealers. One of main
example is ULIPs case. SEBI said, " It is just like mutual funds and all
banks and financial and insurance companies who want to issue it, must
take permission from SEBI."

It can ban on the trading of those brokers who are involved in fraudulentand unfair trade practices relating to stock market.
It can impose the penalties on capital market intermediaries if they
involve in insider trading.
4. To Control the Merge, Acquisition and Takeover the companies :
Many big companies in India want to create monopoly in capital market.So, these companies buy all other companies or deal ofmerging. SEBI
sees whether this merge or acquisition is for development of business or
to harm capital market.
5. To audit the performance of stock market :
SEBI uses his powers to audit the performance of different Indian stock
exchange for bringing transparency in the working of stock exchanges.
6. To make new rules on carry - forward transactions :
Share trading transactions carry forward can not exceed 25% of broker's
total transactions.
90 day limit for carry forward.
7. To create relationship with ICAI :

the auditing work of company accounts because audited financial
statements are mirror to see the real face of company and after this
investors can decide to invest or not to invest. Moreover, investors of
India can easily trust on audited financial reports. After Satyam Scam,SEBI is investigating with ICAI, whether CAs are doing their duty by
ethical way or not.
8. Introduction of derivative contracts on Volatility Index :
For reducing the risk of investors, SEBI has now been decided to permit
Stock Exchanges to introduce derivative contracts on Volatility Index,
9. To Require report of Portfolio Management Activities :
SEBI has also power to require report of portfolio management to check
the capital market performance. Recently, SEBI sent the letter to
all Registered Portfolio Managers of India for demanding report.
10. To educate the investors :
Time to time, SEBI arranges scheduled workshops to educate theinvestors
Functions of Investment Banking:
Investment banks carry out multilateral functions. Some of the most
important functions of investment banking are as follows:
Investment banking helps public and private corporations in
issuance of securities in the primary market. They also act as
intermediaries in trading for clients.
Investment banking provides financial advice to investors and
helps them by assisting in purchasing and trading securities as well
as managing financial assets

Investment banking differs from commercial banking as
investment banks don't accept deposits neither do they grant retail
loans.
Small firms which provide services of investment banking are
called boutiques. They mainly specialize in bond trading,providing technical analysis or program trading as well as advising
for mergers and acquisitions
Core activities of Investment Banking
Investment banking: is the traditional aspect of investment banks
that involves helping customers raise funds in the capital markets
and advise them on mergers and acquisitions. Investment banking
can also involve subscribing investors to a security issuance,
negotiating with a merger target and coordinating with bidders.
Sales and trading: Depending on the needs of the bank and its
clients, the main function of a large investment bank is buying and
selling products. In market making, the traders will buy and sell
securities or financial products with the goal of earning an
incremental amount of money on every trade. Sales is the term that
is used for the sales force, whose primary job is to call on
institutional and high-net-worth investors to suggest trading ideasand take orders
Research: is the division of investment banks which reviews
companies and makes reports about their prospects, often with
"buy" or "sell" ratings. Although the research division generates no
revenue, its resources can be used to assist traders in trading, can
be used by the sales force in suggesting ideas to the customers, and
by the investment bankers for covering their clients.
