IPO NEWS
SEBI proposes e-IPO norms
To boost fund raising from markets, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, proposed e-IPO norms where investors can bid for shares through Internet and
eventually on mobiles, while already listed public sector undertakings (PSUs) will be provided a 'fast-track' route for share sales to meet the disinvestment targets. For
already listed companies as well, the market regulator has proposed a fast-track route for raising of funds through FPOs (follow-on public offers) or rights offers
(where funds can be raised from existing shareholders). Under the new norms, SEBI has proposed to drastically cut the timeline for listing of shares within 2-3 days of
the IPO, as against 12 days currently. SEBI has invited public comments till January 30, after which it would put in place final norms for e-IPO as also for fast-track
issuances.
SEBI asks for clarification from Videocon d2h for its proposed `700 crore IPO
Direct to home (DTH) operator Videocon d2h has been in the news for its proposed `700 crore initial public offer (IPO) for long and now the Securities and Exchange
Board of India (SEBI) has asked for clarifications from the merchant banker of the DTH operator. While the last date on which communication by SEBI was issued or
received was 2 January, the board, today, without disclosing the details said that the clarifications from lead manager (LM) are still awaited. The observations on the
draft offer document may be issued by the board within 30 days from “the date of receipt of satisfactory reply from the lead merchant bankers, where the board has
sought any clarification or additional information from them,” reads SEBI notice. It was on 30 September that the board received the draft offer from Videocon d2h
through its lead manager Axis Capital.
Central Depository Services plans `400 crore IPO
Central Depository Services (CDSL) has initiated the process to launch an initial share sale. Its major shareholder BSE and a clutch of banks want to sell 25-30% in the
share depository for `300-400 crore in a public offering, said two sources close to the development. If the stake sale happens at the expected price, it would value
CDSL at approximately `1,200 crore. he stakeholders are seeking premium valuations due to regulatory restrictions in setting up such a new venture and the
oligopolistic nature of depository operations in India. Promoters of CDSL and top officials of the depository had met some time ago to discuss the valuations and other
details, the sources said. In addition to BSE, other large shareholders of CDSL include Standard Chartered Bank, HDFC Bank, State Bank of India and Canara Bank,
among others.
AGS Transact Technologies set to file for IPO
AGS Transact Technologies, partly owned by US private equity firm TPG Capital, is set to file an application for an initial public offering to raise up to $200 million,

Capital to manage the issue, said the people who declined to be named as they were not authorized to speak to the media. The company, which supplies and maintains
ATMs (automated teller machines), is expected to benefit from India's push to expand banking services to more people and small businesses, such as by issuing new
banking licences to companies.
Indian firms line up IPOs worth `8,000 crore
Indian companies have lined up initial public offers (IPOs) worth at least `8,000 crore in 2015 to fund business expansion and meet working capital requirements on
expectations that the bullish trend in the stock markets would continue. Videocon D2H, Lavasa Corporation, Adlabs Entertainment, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL)

awaiting approval. Most of the companies plan to garner funds for business expansion and to support working capital requirements.
