IPO and Book Building Process
Submitted to :- Mrs.Anuradha
Class:- 2-BBA C
An initial public offering, or IPO, is the very first sale of stock issued by a
company to the public. Prior to an IPO the company is considered private, with
a relatively small number of shareholders made up primarily of early investors
(such as the founders, their families and friends) and professional investors
(such as venture capitalists or angel investors). The public, on the other hand,
consists of everybody else – any individual or institutional investor who wasn’t
involved in the early days of the company and who is interested in buying
shares of the company. Until a company’s stock is offered for sale to the public,
the public is unable to invest in it. You can potentially approach the owners of a
private company about investing, but they're not obligated to sell you anything.
Public companies, on the other hand, have sold at least a portion of their shares
to the public to be traded on a stock exchange. This is why an IPO is also
referred to as "going public.
Type of IPO:-
Fixed Price Issue
The initial price offer can be made through the fixed price issue or book
building issue or a combination of both.
Why Go Public?
Going public requires greater demands following the complexity of the process.
Thus, putting the right people to maneuver the process will help a lot. They
must possess strong communication skills to handle investors or SEC queries
and be able to clearly present the company’s vision and plans.
2. Be ready with your financial reporting systems
Once the company goes public it requires a thorough disclosure of the financial
health of the company thereby adopting more complex financial and accounting
requirements. The company must have a credible system in place to ensure all
data are recorded in a timely and accurate manner.
Next step would be to present the final company story as well as the prospectus
to SEC for registration and review process. Initial prospectus contains all
information about the company except for the offer price and date, which are
not shown yet. Normally, the registration takes more than a month.
6. Start your road show
Once your company has complied with SEC’s comments and recommendations,
then you may now proceed to meeting your prospective investors. You must
travel and attend a lot of meetings, press conferences (if your budget allows),
city/area visits to introduce your company and the merits of investing in it. This
is also considered as your marketing venue to attract more investors.
After completing the review process and generating a list for possible IPO
investors, the company’s board of directors and underwriters agree on a value to
which the company sets a price per share of stock.
Nothing is more exciting than going public. After pricing, the IPO normally
close on the 4th business day. Issuer and selling stockholders will issue the
shares to the underwriters, and the underwriters will buy those shares at a 7
percent discount more or less. Issuers will still undergo SEC quiet period for 25
days following the pricing. This period gives broker-dealers time to approach
and deliver IPO sales materials to investors.
