Definitions & Abbreviations


Draft Offer document: Draft Offer document means the offer document in draft stage. The draft offer documents are filed with SEBI, at least 21 days prior to the filing of the offer document with ROC/ SEs. SEBI may specifies changes, if any, in the draft offer document and the issuer or the Lead Merchant banker shall carry out such changes in the draft offer document before filing the offer document with ROC/SEs. The draft offer document is available on the SEBI website for public comments for a period of 21 days from the filing of the draft offer document with SEBI.

Book Building: means a process undertaken by which a demand for the securities proposed to be issued by a body corporate is elicited and built up and the price for such securities is assessed for the determination of the quantum of such securities to be issued by means of a notice, circular, advertisement, document or information memoranda or offer document;

Red herring prospectus: A red herring prospectus (RHP) is a preliminary registration document that is filed with SEBI in the case of book building issue 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. In the case of book-built issues, it is a process of price discovery as 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. The offer document filed thereafter with ROC is called a prospectus. Offer document: means Prospectus in case of a public issue or offer for sale and Letter of Offer in case of a rights issue which is filed Registrar of Companies (ROC) and Stock Exchanges. An offer document covers all the relevant information to help an investor to make his/her investment decision.

Underwriting: Underwriting of shares is a guarantee or insurance given by the underwriter to the company that the shares offered to the public will be subscribed in full. ASBA: Stands for Applications Supported by Blocked Account. It is a process approved by SEBI for providing an alternative mode of payment in issues whereby the application money remains in the investors account till finalization of basis of allotment in the issue. ASBA process would require retail individual investors bidding at cut-off, to apply through Self Certified Syndicate Banks (SCSBs), in which the investors have bank accounts. SCSBs would accept the applications, block the fund to the extent of bid payment amount, upload the details in the electronic bidding system of BSE or NSE, unblock once basis of allotment is finalised and transfer the amount for allotted shares, to the issuer. This would co-exist with the current procedure of investors applying through sub syndicate/ syndicate members with cheque as a payment instrument. Initial Public Offering (IPO): Initial Public Offer (IPO) is a process through which an unlisted Company can be listed on the stock exchange by offering its securities to the public in the primary market. The object of an IPO may be relating to expansion of existing activities of the Company or setting up of new projects or any other object as may be specified by the Company in its offer document or just to get its existing equity shares listed by diluting the stake of existing equity shareholders through offer for sale.

Paid up capital: Paid-up capital is money that a company has received from the sale of its shares, and represents money that is not borrowed. A company that is fully paid-up has sold all available shares, and thus cannot increase its capital unless it borrows money through debt or is authorized to sell more shares. In other words, the amount of capital (out of called-up capital) against which the company has received the payments from the shareholders so far. Buy Back: The repurchase of outstanding shares (repurchase) by a company in order to reduce the number of shares on the market. Companies will buy back shares either to increase the value of shares still available (reducing supply), or to eliminate any threats by shareholders who may be looking for a controlling stake.

Draft Prospectus: A draft prospectus provides the information on the financials of the company, promoters, background, tentative issue price etc. It is filed by the Lead Managers with the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to provide issue details. QIB: A Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) is one that owns and invests, on a discretionary basis, at least $100 million in securities; for a broker-dealer the threshold is $10 million. QIBs encompass a wide range of entities, including banks, savings and loans associations, insurance companies, investment companies, employee benefit plans or entities owned entirely by accredited investors. Banks and S&L associations must also have a net worth of at least $25 million to satisfy the QIB criteria.

FII (Foreign Institutional Investor): An investor or investment fund that is from or registered in a country outside of the one in which it is currently investing. Institutional investors include hedge funds, insurance companies, pension funds and mutual funds. The term is used most commonly in India to refer to outside companies investing in the financial markets of India.

Greenshoe Option: A provision contained in an underwriting agreement that gives the underwriter the right to sell investors more shares than originally planned by the issuer. This would normally be done if the demand for a security issue proves higher than expected. Legally referred to as an over-allotment option. A greenshoe option can provide additional price stability to a security issue because the underwriter has the ability to increase supply and smooth out price fluctuations if demand surges. Greenshoe options typically allow underwriters to sell up to 15% more shares than the original number set by the issuer, if demand conditions warrant such action. However, some issuers prefer not to include greenshoe options in their underwriting agreements under certain circumstances, such as if the issuer wants to fund a specific project with a fixed amount of cost and does not want more capital than it originally sought. The term is derived from the fact that the Green Shoe Company was the first to issue this type of option.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (IPO)


An IPO is when a company which is presently not listed at any stock exchange makes either a fresh issue of shares or makes an offer for sale of its existing shares or both for the first time to the public. Through a public offering, the issuer makes an offer for new investors to enter its shareholding family. The shares are made available to the investors at the price determined by the promoters of the company in consultation with its investment bankers. The successful completion of an IPO leads to the listing and trading of the company's shares at the designated stock exchanges. Going public provides an opportunity to the companies to raise cash for setting up a project or for diversification/expansion or sometimes for working capital or even to retire debt or for potential acquisitions. This is called fresh issue of capital where the proceeds of the issue go to the company. Companies also go public to provide a route for some of the existing shareholders including venture capitalists to exit fully or partially from the company's shareholding or for promoters to partially dilute their holding. This is called an offer for sale where the proceeds of the issue go to the selling shareholders and not to the company. It increases the companys ability to raise debt at finer rates. The company also gets a continuing window for raising more capital, both from the domestic and overseas equity markets. Acquisitions also become simpler as instead of cash payouts, companies can use shares as a currency. Of course, listing carries a considerable degree of prestige for the company. Listing also lends liquidity to the stock, which is very critical for the success of employee stock ownership plans, which help to attract top talent.

Disclosure 4: Risk Factors:

Natural calamities: Just Dial business model is IT based website and any natural calamity may affect its business relatively affecting the share price of the company.

V-Mart (IPO-2)
Infrastructure: India's physical infrastructure is less developed than that of many developed nations. Any congestion or disruption in its port, rail and road networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other public facility could disrupt normal business activity. Any deterioration of India's physical infrastructure would harm the national economy, disrupt the transportation of goods and supplies, and add costs to doing business in India. These problems could interrupt the company's business operations, which could have an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition. Natural calamities: India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunami, floods in recent years. The extent and severity of these natural disasters determine their impact on the Indian economy. Prolonged spells of abnormal rainfall or other natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation as well as the price of the Equity Shares. Remarks: As both of the companies have their operations, both have equal probabilities of natural calamities hitting them. But Just Dial will have less impact of natural calamities as compared to V-Mart. 25 | P a g e
