Technical Knockout Point: No company shall be listed unless it has made public issue which is subscribed by not less than 500 applications. (KSE listing regulation chapter IV)

16 Issue Size and Allocation of Capital (KSE listing regulations Chapter III A) The size of issue and allocation to various categories of investors has been set as under: In case post issue paid-up capital of the issuing company is up to Rs.500 million, at least 50% of such capital shall be offered to the general public; and In case capital of the issuing company is beyond Rs.500 million, public offer shall be at least Rs.250 million or 25% of the post issue paid-up capital, whichever is higher.

17 Methods of Offering Shares Fixed Price Method Under this method the offer price is set by the issuer or the Offerer Independent institutions / underwriters provide comfort to the prospective investors as far as the offer price is concerned. The basis of issue price is disclosed in the prospectus where the issuer gives detail about the qualitative and quantitative factors justifying the issue price. Investors subscribe for the shares at the price already decided by the issuer. Book Building Process Book-Building is a mechanism of price determination through which indication of interest for investment in the shares offered by an issuer/offerer is collected from Institutional Investors and High Net worth Individual Investors through making of bids and a book is built which gives a picture of demand for the shares at different price levels. Floor Price is decided by the Issuer/ Offerer in consultation with the Book Runner Strike Price is determined at the end of the bidding period on the basis of bids received through the Dutch Auction Method. Under the Dutch Auction Method, Strike Price is the price at which bids for the entire shares offered for sale are made. Book Building portion of the offer is underwritten by the Book Runner. Detail procedure of issue/offer of shares through Book Building is given in the Appendix-4 of the Listing Regulations of the Stock Exchanges.
