GOING “ PUBLIC ”??? .......A TWIST TO THE TALE
However, promoters are nowadays diluting less than 25%, as this allows them to cap the retail portion at a maximum of 30%. The institutional portion in such cases go up by 10%. For small investors, this 5% difference can be substantial when the issue size is large.
Public issues, it seems, are not quite meant for the ‘public’. At a time when more and more retail investors are looking to hop on to the equity bandwagon, promoters have taken refuge in a decade-old regulation that allows them to dole out more shares to institutional bidders at the cost of retail ones. And the sad part is that this is perfectly legal and only an initiative from the market regulator can create a more level-playing field for small investors. Interestingly, this special clause — Rule 19(2)(b) — was introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in 1999 for technology companies wherein promoters were allowed to dilute 10% if the issue size was more than Rs 100 crore. This also meant that QIBs could be allotted 60%, while HNI and retail portion was capped at 10% and 30% respectively. While initially the special clause was applicable only to technology companies, it was subsequently extended to all sectors. Meanwhile, two of the most high-profile issues in recent times — Reliance Power and Future Capital —are also using this age-old clause (by diluting only around 10-12%) to allocate more to the institutional investors. For instance, Reliance Power, where 22.8 crore shares are on offer, retail investors can bid for only 6.84 crore shares.
While this trend has been on an upswing for quite some time now, the recent past has seen a near complete disappearance of issues where retail investors were offered 35% of the total issue. Industry watchers say this trend is killing the very concept of ‘public holding’ in a publicly listed company. The effect of this clause can be gauged from the shareholding pattern of some of the companies that turned ‘public’ last year. The retail holding in Puravankara Projects is a lowly 0.8%. In the case of Motilal Oswal Securities and Omaxe, the retail stake is 3.43% and 3%, respectively. After the mega-sized public issue of DLF, retail investors have a 2.25% stake in the real estate major. In Vishal Retail, public stake is less than 5%.

SEC & SEBI heading towards more cooperation
- Identifying and discussing regulatory issues of common concern;
- continuing and expanding the existing program of capacity-building and technical cooperation between the SEC and the SEBI; and
- improving cooperation and the exchange of information in cross-border securities enforcement.
The dialogue will be composed of regular meetings and ad hoc information exchange at the staff level and between high-level representatives of the SEC and SEBI. Several topics have been identified for discussion for the dialogue over the coming year: oversight of dually regulated entities, regulatory and compliance issues relating to outsourcing, accounting and auditing standards, and corporate governance standards and internal controls, among other things.“As financial services and investment continue to grow and expand between the United States and India, the SEC and SEBI are increasingly working together to facilitate our aims of investor protection and healthy markets,” said SEC chairman Christopher Cox. “The SEC has worked with SEBI over the past few years on extensive capacity-building programs as well as enforcement matters. I look forward to continuing and strengthening our regulatory and enforcement cooperation with SEBI through this high-level dialogue.”
SEBI chairman M. Damodaran said, “Given the role that emerging and recently emerged markets play in an increasingly globalised financial world, it is only befitting that the SEBI and SEC work closely for the protection of investors and for ensuring fair, efficient and transparent markets. The high level discussions between the two regulators, while promoting capacity building, would also enable both the SEBI and SEC to take suitable joint and collective action where needed.” Says report of James Lanton(source:

Ramoji Rao, chairman of UEL, had then said: “The company had access to several financing options, including an IPO, but we decided to go with Blackstone because we believe that at this stage of our growth, we have an opportunity to create significant value by leveraging Blackstone’s experience and track record in the global media sector.”
