IOC OFS gets through despite Monday Massacre

IOC OFS that opened for online bidding on Monday i.e. 24.08.15 has passed through hard time as the market collapsed by nearly 6% and all counters were in red due to heavy sell-off from across the board.

Despite such disaster, IOC OFS got little over 1-time subscription. Retail portion, however, remained heavily undersubscribed indicating that panic in the market kept them away from bidding. IOC had offered 242795247 shares to dilute 10% stake of GoI in the company.

The indicative price has been the same as floor price announced for this OFS. Based on the last traded price, investors have ended with a notional loss on their investment on day one for non-retail investors. For retail investors, due to 5% discount, based on indicative price, their investment cost per share will be around Rs. 367.65 and thus, they have been the gainers.
