Types of IPO:

· In this method, the price at which the issue is coming up is properly mentioned. The price is fixed i.e for example, Company A is coming up with an issue of 20000 equity share of 95 each, the face value of the share is 10 Rs. Premium of 85 Rs. On each share.
· This is called fixed price method. Where the share price is fixed i.e 95 rs.
· In Fixed Price offering, the prices of the share is already fixed. The investors know the prices of the share before the offering. They know what is the initial offering price of the share which company is offering.
· Book building IPO.
The price is decided by the “BID’ which is done by the investors. The final prices is decided after taking into consideration the bid that is done by the investors. There are generally three prices that come up in Book building:
i. Cap Price: it is the highest price of the share.
ii. Floor Price: it is the lowest price of the share and
iii. Final share price: It is the final price that is decided through Investors bid.
There are also 3 category of the IPO:
i. Retail investors
ii. Institutional Investors
iii. Qualified institutional buyers.
- In this method the price of the issue is not fixed. It is first circulated and then the investor decide the price in between the range that is given by the company.
· For example: Company A is coming up with an issue of 20000 equity share of 90 to 95 Rs each.
· So the price range is decided and the investors will bid and then the final price will come up.
· Company coming up with Book Building Public Issue decided a price band for the issue. The price band usually contains an upper level and a lower level.
· Floor Price is the minimum price (lower level) at which bids can be made for an IPO. Investors can bid for the Book Build IPO at any price in the price band decided by the company. In Book Build process retail investors have an addition option to choose "Cut-Off" price for bidding.
Cut-off price means the investor is ready to pay whatever price is decided by the company at the end of the book building process. Retail investor has to pay the highest price while placing the bid at Cut-Off price. If company decides the final price lower then the highest price asked for IPO, the remaining amount is return to the retail investor.Listing Platform
