Why We Gatting in on an IPO ?

Getting a piece of a hot IPO is very difficult, if not impossible. To understand why, we need to know how an IPO is done, a process known as underwriting.

When a company wants to go public, the first thing it does is hire an investment bank. A company could theoretically sell its shares on its own, but realistically, an investment bank is required. Underwriting is the process of raising money by either debt or equity (in this case we are referring to equity). You can think of underwriters as middlemen between companies and the investing public. The company and the investment bank will first meet to negotiate the deal. Items usually discussed include the amount of money a company will raise, the type of securities to be issued and all the details in the underwriting agreement.

The deal can be structured in a variety of ways. For example, in a firm commitment, the underwriter guarantees that a certain amount will be raised by buying the entire offer and then reselling to the public. In a best efforts agreement, however, the underwriter sells securities for the company but doesn't guarantee the amount raised. Also, investment banks are hesitant to shoulder all the risk of an offering. Instead, they form a syndicate of underwriters. One underwriter leads the syndicate and the others sell a part of the issue.


Once all sides agree to a deal, the investment bank puts together a registration statement to be filed with the SEBI. This document contains information about the offering as well as company info such as financial statements, management background, any legal problems, where the money is to be used and insider holdings. Once SEBI approves the offering, a date (the effective date) is set when the stock will be offered to the public.

During the cooling off period the underwriter puts together what is known as the red herring. This is an initial prospectus containing all the information about the company except for the offer price and the effective date, which aren't known at that time. With the red herring in hand, the underwriter and company attempt to hype and build up interest for the issue.

As the effective date approaches, the underwriter and company sit down and decide on the price. This isn't an easy decision it depends on the company and most importantly current market conditions. Of course, it's in both parties' interest to get as much as possible.

Finally, the securities are sold on the stock market and the money is collected from investors.

Lower End Of Range : Amsterdam Stock Exchange was ' Comfortably Oversubscribed'


AMSTERDAM (Dow Jones)--Dutch insurer Delta Lloyd NV (DL.AE), which is majority-owned by the U.K.'s Aviva PLC (AV.LN), said Tuesday that its initial public offering on the Amsterdam stock exchange was "comfortably oversubscribed," although the EUR16 a share price was at the lower end of the indicated range.

"The IPO was comfortably oversubscribed at the offer price notwithstanding the volatile market backdrop," Delta Lloyd said in a statement.

SNS Securities analyst Maarten Altena said that pricing the issue at the lower end of the indicated EUR15.50-EUR19 range, meant that interest from investors was less than originally expected. The weaker stock market and ING Group NV's (ING) rights issue announced last week have had a negative influence, he added. Altena currently has no rating or target price on Delta Lloyd.

At 0926 GMT, Delta Lloyd shares were trading at EUR15.56.

Delta Lloyd's offering consisted of 63.5 million shares, or 38.3% of issued share capital. The total offering size is around EUR1.02 billion, marking it as one of Europe's largest IPOs so far this year

The lackluster reception for IPOs isn't restricted to the real-estate sector. Chinese wine distributor Silver Base Group Holdings, which raised US$133 million from its IPO, closed Friday at HK$2.08, 42% below its HK$3.45 offer price, and tops the list of post-listing losses.

But analysts said the local market is still flush with cash -- a point that should boost two other mega IPOs set to hit by the end of the year.

Russian aluminum giant United Company Rusal is looking to raise as much as US$3 billion in an IPO, and China Pacific Insurance (Group) Co. is reviving a US$3.5 billion offering it had planned for February last year but scrapped due to volatile market conditions. China Pacific is 17.3%-owned by private-equity firm Carlyle Group LP.

Beijing-based developer Longfor Properties Co. will join the fray Monday by kicking off its IPO, which could raise as much as US$1 billion.

But price will be key. "It all boils down to whether the IPO is attractively priced and whether it has a good story to tell," said Kenny Tang, the head of research at Redford Securities.

The provo, Utah-based company, which is the world's largest online resurce for birth certificates and marriage records, expects ot price the shares between $12.50 and $14.50 apiece on Wednesday.Underwiters are being offered up to an additional 1.1milliom shares to cover overallotments,wich would boost total proceeds to about $115 million.
Five of the last nine IPOs bhave closed below their offering price in the first day.But experts say that shouldn't be the case for Sncestry because technology IPOs bave collectively performend about twice as well as other sectors so far this yeat.
Underwriters for the deal include Morgan Stanley, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Jefferies & Co. and Piper Jaffray & Co. It will trade under the symbol "ACOM" on the Nasdaq Global Market.
