This IPO was over subscribe by only 4 times.
This is quite a small amount of oversubscribe, compare to the earlier IPOs.
Retailers are called the ones who applied shares for 3000 or 1 lak rupees.
So not only retailers, medium playes also gets full allocation
(ones who applied 70,000 with (*12 rupees each) with 840,000 rupees, still gets 100% allocation).
So we can expect a huge selling presure from the first day.
Investers need money back again to apply for the Softlogic IPO before 9th of June.

As many were expected considerabaly small no of investers have applied for this IPO.
There was lot of conversation went whether to buy or not Expo shares as the Private Placement has happend with 6 ruppes each.

atlast retailers gave a lesson to big companies.
I hope from now on big companies do not offer overvalued IPOs to retailers.
lets see what is the valuation of softlogic.
seems to me it is another overvalued IPO.

Yes,
It has mentioned
"Undersubscibed shares from the Retai and Unit Trust categories were allocated to Employee and Non retail categories" in the announcement.
That means this has undersubscribe by retails.

Hi, Chinwi,

That sums up things nicely. Looking forward to hear from you often.

Guys,

Sadly what I think is its the poor retailers who may learn the lesson.

yea those who optimistically thought would get a refund would not have too.
btw, the issue was for 14/- so 70,000 shares means almost a million rupees.

Mates, CBSL's new regulation on issuing guarantees for IPOs came into force from this IPO,which means one bank can issue a total guarantee value equal to half of the IPO issue, therefore I expects less times over- subscription to the upcoming IPOs also.

I'm not sure whether banks other than commercial banks can issue guarantees for IPO. If the answer is not; then we can easily calculate the maximum times an IPO can be subscribed by guarantees (assuming all the banks issue guarantees to the full value)

tinyman,

But this does not affect Retailer or Small investor, who are given the priority in allocation. Because only big players go for bank guarantees.

Yes Chamith, what my point is usually IPOs get oversubscribed by applications with guarantees for the large/full IPO value. Moreover any bank can issue guarantees without any limitations on their total exposure. Banks used to issue guarantees with less than 1% cash margin.

Now, these rules are changes and a person can apply for maximum of 50% of the issue and bank's exposure also limited to 50% of the issue. Which means that the use of guarantees in IPOs is far limited than earlier.

Earlier we used to have IPOs with massive over subscription supported by the guarantees.

We retailers used to get at least a reasonable allocation due to the fact that we,even though the number of applications are huge,only constitutes very little to the total over subscription.

So,what my point here is, hereafter we can see less times over subscription to the IPOs above billion rupees.

And what ever the case,we will be getting much more shares allocated, which means we will be rushing to sell of on the initial day. More selling pressure means less appreciation; like what we saw on FLCH.

In conclusion; we can see lesser over subscription to the up coming IPOs and less price appreciation on the market. Earlier I used to look at my % gain to decide what to do, but now I'm looking at the total return from that investment, like if I get 30,000 then I would sell,it doesn't matter how much % gain I'm making.

Open for discussion

earlier due to the large over-subscriptions, retailers used to apply large and expect only a few hundreds.
for expo they have got what they wanted and as you say there will be many looking forward to sell large quantities.
but in future people will realize and will apply only a few hundreds or thousands that they want. ultimately large IPOs may not be over subscribed on the first day and if it does, it will be not by retailers

***another point that I stressed when the new rule was introduced
40% was allocated for retailers
BUT
issue was closed when it was oversubscribed, which does not necessarily mean that the retail category was also over subscribed but the overall issue.
is this fair? what do you think?

I think retailers are never responsible for massive over-subscription, isn't it npp. I agree with tinyman.

of course not, that's what I'm saying as well. But collectively that too is quite number but in the future we might see large IPOs not being unsubscribed on the first day itself.

Further the question i ask from fellow members is whether a company should keep the issue open till the 40% of retailer category too is fully subscribed
