Book building Book Building is basically a capital issuance
process used in Initial Public Offer (IPO) which aids price and demand discovery.
It is a process used for marketing a public offer of equity shares of a company.
It is a mechanism where, during the period for which the book for the IPO is open, bids are collected from investors at various prices, which are above or equal to the floor price.
The process aims at tapping both wholesale and retail investors. The offer/issue price is then determined after the bid closing date based on certain evaluation criteria.
Book building process The Issuer who is planning an IPO nominates a lead
merchant banker as a 'book runner'. The Issuer specifies the number of securities to be
issued and the price band for orders. The Issuer also appoints syndicate members with whom
orders can be placed by the investors. Investors place their order with a syndicate member
who inputs the orders into the 'electronic book'. This process is called 'bidding' and is similar to open auction.
A Book should remain open for a minimum of 5 days. Bids cannot be entered less than the floor price. Bids can be revised by the bidder before the issue
closes. On the close of the book building period the 'book
runner evaluates the bids on the basis of the evaluation criteria which may include -
Price Investor quality Earliness of bids, etc.
Book building exercise The book runner and the company conclude the
final price at which it is willing to issue the stock and allocation of securities.
Generally, the number of shares are fixed, the issue size gets frozen based on the price per share discovered through the book building process.
Allocation of securities is made to the successful bidders.
Book Building is a good concept and represents a capital market which is in the process of maturing.
Reverse Book Building – share buy back. E.g. Essar oil, RIL, Philips India etc.
Fixed price offer through public issue
* price is known in advance and demand at the close of the issue.
An issuer company is allowed to freely price the issue. The basis of issue price is disclosed in the offer document where the issuer discloses in detail about the qualitative and quantitative factors justifying the issue price.
Red Herring prospectus Red Herring Prospectus” is a prospectus which does not have details
of either price or number of shares being offered or the amount of issue. This
means that in case price is not disclosed, the number of shares and the upper and
lower price bands are disclosed. On the other hand, an issuer can state the
issue size and the number of shares are determined later. An RHP for and FPO
can be filed with the RoC without the price band and the issuer, in such a case will
notify at a latter stage floor price or a price band by way of an advertisement one day prior to
the opening of the issue. In the case of book-built issues, it is a process of
price discovery and the price cannot be determined until the bidding
process is completed. Hence, such details are not shown in the Red Herring prospectus filed with ROC in terms of the provisions of the Companies Act. Only on completion of the bidding process, the details of the final price are
included in the Offer document filed thereafter with ROC is called a prospectus.
