Bear’s impact on IPO of Birla Cotsyn- Yash Birla Group Company

Bear doesn’t even spare the long lasting name Birla. Yash Birla Group Company is open with Public issue these days. But market sentiments seem not to spare it at all. Although the issue price band is decided to be very marginal & lucrative for the investors i.e. revised Rs. 12 – 14 initially before revision Rs. 15 – 18 but investor’s mood is seems to be tough this time.
Issue of Equity shares was open on 30th June 2008 for raising Rs. 144.18 crores including promoters’ contribution of Rs. 36.65 crores through 100% book building process. Initially issue was supposed to close on 4th July 2008 but due to Bear’s power, issue is keeping open for another three working days till 9th July 2008 with further revision in price band to Rs. 12 – Rs 14. With this revision in the price band , if the issue is subscribed at Rs. 14 the promoters’ stake would be 34.13% post money or if issue is subscribed at Rs. 12 the Promoters would left only with 33.01% stake. Earlier which was 36.25% at the original cap price. This price revision may cost the promoters 3.25% stake in the company
