Primary Market / New Issue
Market
 The NIM does not have a physical
structure or form.
 All the agencies which provide the
facilities and participate in the process of

constitute the NIM.

Functions of NIM
 Origination
 Underwriting
 Distribution

Origination
 Origination is the preliminary work in
connection with floatation of a new issue by
a company.
 It deals with assessing the feasibility of the
project, technical, economic and financial,
as also making all arrangements for the
actual floatation of the issue.
 As a part of the origination work, decisions
may have to be taken on the following
issues:

Origination

 Type of issue: The type of issue whether
equity, preference, debentures has to be
properly analyzed at the time of the
origination work.
 Price of the issue: The price of the
security is determined by the issuer and

either at par or at premium.
 The origination function in the NIM is now
being carried out by merchant bankers.

Underwriting
 Underwriting is the activity of providing
a guarantee to the issuer to ensure
successful marketing of the issue.
 An underwriter is an individual or
institution which gives an undertaking to
the stock issuing company to purchase
a specified number of shares of the

performed by large financial institutions
such as LIC, UTI, IDBI, general
insurance companies, commercial

 Public Issue
 Rights Issue
 Private Placement

 It involves sale of securities to members
of the public.

number of shares at a specific price.
 The offer is made through a legal
document called prospectus.

by strong public financial institutions.

Public Issue

advertisements, printing of prospectus,
bank’s commission, underwriting

etc.

securities to the existing shareholders in
proportion to their current holding.
 As per Sec.81 of the Companies Act,
1956, when a company issues additional
equity capital it has offered first to the
existing shareholders on pro rata basis.

shares as the offer is made through a
formal letter to the existing shareholders.

Private Placement

privately by a company to a selected group of
investors.
 The securities are normally placed, in a
private placement, with the institutional
investors, mutual funds or other financial
institutions.
 A formal prospectus is not necessary in the
case of private placement.
 Underwriting arrangements are also not
required in private placement.

Principal Steps in Floating a
Public Issue
 Pre-issue tasks
 Opening and closing of the issue
 Post-issue tasks.

Pre-issue Tasks
 Drafting and finalisation of the prospectus:
Prospectus is an essential document in a public issue.
The prospectus contains detailed information about the
company, its activities, promoters, directors, group
companies, capital structure, terms of the present issue,
details of the proposed project, details regarding
underwriting arrangements, etc.
The draft prospectus has to approved by the Board of
Directors of the company.
The draft prospectus has also to be filed with SEBI and
the Registrar of companies.
The final prospectus has to be prepared as per the
suggestions of SEBI and filed with SEBI and the Registrar
of companies.

Pre-issue Tasks
 Selecting the intermediaries and
entering into agreements with them:
 Merchant Banker
 Registrar to an issue
 Share transfer agent
 Banker to an issue

Pre-issue Tasks
 Attending to other formalities:
The prospectus and application forms
have to be printed and despatched to all
intermediaries and brokers for wide
circulation among the investing public.
An initial listing application has to be
filed with the stock exchange where the
issue is proposed to be listed.

Opening and closing of the
issue
 The public issue is open for
subscription by the public on the pre-
announced opening date.
 The application forms and application
money are received at the branches of
the bankers to the issue and forwarded
by these bankers to the Registrar to the
issue.
 Two closing dates are prescribed for the
closing of the public issue.

Opening and closing of the
issue
 The first of these is the ‘earliest closing
date’ which should not be less than
three days from the opening date.
 If sufficient applications are received by
the company, the company may choose
to close the issue on the earliest closing
date itself.
 The other closing date is the final or
latest closing date which shall not
exceed ten days from the opening date.

Post – issue Tasks
 All the application forms received have
to be scrutinised, processed and
tabulated.
 When the issue is not fully subscribed
to, it becomes the liability of the
underwriters to subscribe to the shortfall.
 When the issue is oversubscribed, the
basis of allotment has to be decided in
consultation with the stock exchange.

Post – issue Tasks
 Allotment letters and share certificates
have to be despatched to the allottees.
Refund orders have to be despatched to
the applicants whose applications are
rejected.
 Shares have to be listed in the stock
exchange for trading.

Book Building
 The usual procedure of a public issue is
through the fixed price method where
securities are offered for subscription to
the public at a fixed price.
 An alternative method is now available
which is known as the book building
process.
 SEBI announced guidelines for the
book building process, for the first time,
in October 1995.

Book Building
 Under the book building process, the issue
price is not fixed in advance.
 It is determined by the offer of potential
investors about the price which they are
willing to pay for the issue.
 The price of the security is determined as
the weighted average at which the majority
of investors are willing to buy the security.
 Under the book building process, the issue
price of a security is determined by the
demand and supply forces in the capital
market.

Role of Primary Market
 Primary market is the medium for raising
fresh capital in the form of equity and debt.
 It mops up resources from the public and
makes them available for meeting the long-
term capital requirements of corporate
business and industry.

two principal constituents of the market,
namely the investors and the seekers of
the capital.

primary market.

Market

of intermediaries and comply with complex legal and
other formalities.

primary market.
 Investors in the primary market need protection from
fraudulent operators.
 Up to 1992, the primary market was controlled by
the Controller of Capital Issues (CCI) appointed

 During the period, the pricing of capital issues was
regulated by CCI.

Market
 The Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) was formed under the SEBI
Act, 1992, with the prime objective of
protecting the interests of investors in
securities as well as for promoting and
regulating the securities market.
 All public issues since January 1992 are
governed by the rules, regulations and
guidelines issued by SEBI.

Market
 SEBI has been instrumental in bringing
greater transparency in capital issues.
 It has issued detailed guidelines to
standardise disclosure obligations of
companies issuing securities.
 Companies floating public issues are now
required to disclose all relevant information
affecting investor’s interests.
 SEBI constantly reviews its guidelines to
make them more market friendly and
investor friendly.

Exchanges
 Trading System: The system of trading prevailing in

trading.
In this system, trading took place through an open
outcry system on the trading floor or ring of the
exchange during official trading hours.
 Floor Trading: In floor trading, buyers and sellers
transact business face to face using a variety of
signals.
Under this system, an investor desirous of buying a
security gets in touch with a broker and places a buy
order along with the money to buy the security.
Similarly the investor sells his shares.

Exchanges
 Screen based trading: In the new electronic
stock exchanges, which have a fully
automated computerised mode of trading, floor
trading is replaced with a new system of
trading known as screen-based trading.
In this system the distant participants can
trade with each other through the computer
network.
The screen-based trading systems are of two
types.
1. Quote driven system
2. Order driven system

Exchanges
 Quote driven system: Under this system, the
market-maker, who is the dealer in a particular
security, inputs two-way quotes into the system, that
is, his bid price (buying price) and offer price (selling
price).
The market participants then place their orders
based on the bid-offer quotes.
These are then automatically matched by the
system according to certain rules.
 Order driven system: Under this system, clients
place their buy and sell orders with the brokers.
These are then fed into the system. The buy and
sell orders are automatically matched by the system
according to predetermined rules.
