Traditional Vs Book building Underwriting
The following are the differences between the traditional and Book Building (“BB”) Underwriting:
Under BB, the Book runner has to underwrite the Book Building portion under which an underwriter is responsible to subscribe the defaulted portion of the underwritten commitment.

Underwriting - Insights
Over the years soliciting underwriting has become difficult due to: - declining interest owing to poor performance of the secondary markets
- stretched valuation expectation by the issuer
An underwriter (Financial Institution) is bound to regularize its position within 3 months of take-up:
“The shares acquired in excess of 5% limit due to the underwriting commitments will be sold off within a period of three months.” (PR)
While pricing is being challenged by the short term market events, Companies are still looking to IPOs as long term viable option for accessing capital. Interim volatility has not discouraged Companies opting for listing which certainly bodes well for the overall outlook of the capital markets

Underwriting - Insights
Traditional Role
Underwriter = Underwriter (non fund based)
New Role [
Underwriter = Equity Investor (fund based)

Underwriting - Insights
This transition in role has invariably resulted in more scrutiny by the Underwriter as there is high probability of Take up
The new role of underwriter requires changes in the underwriting agreement to broadly address issues concerning a minority partner
Section 82 of the Companies Ordinance – 1984 covers underwriting and take-up commission and requires authorization by articles or such rate as may generally or in a particular case fixed by SECP
Underwriting Commission has varied from 0.75% - 1.5% depending on risk profile of the transaction. The more riskier the transaction the higher the Underwriting Commission
Recently Take-up Commissions have been on the higher side due to higher probability of under subscription

Traditionally a company intending to raise funds from the public had the sole option of going for a fixed price IPO
However, fortunately enough as part of the initiative to develop capital markets, SECP formally launched the Book Building rules in April 2008, thereby starting a new era of listing and the first ever IPO via Book Building was advised by AKD Securities Limited
The issue was a great success and in the past couple of years AKD Securities Limited is accredited with several offerings latest being TPL Direct Insurance Limited
The Book Building mechanism may be new to Pakistan, but has been widely practiced in public offerings globally
India has been a leading player in Book Building as 92% of new listings in India since last 5 years have been through the Book Building process

75% - 25% Split - A minimum of 25% of total offer size has to be offered to general public with remaining being offered to financial Institutions and High Net Worth Individuals (“HNWI”)-individuals with net worth of at least PkR1.0 mn
The Lead Manager (“LM”) & Book Runner (“BR”), with the consent of Offerer, sets a floor price which is the minimum bidding price an investor can bid at
BR shall collect not less than 25% of application money as margin from corporate and 100% for HNWIs
An order book of bids from investors is maintained by the BR, which is then used to determine the cut off/strike price through the “Dutch Auction Method”

Bidding period 3 days
Setting Cut-Off Price – The cut-off price is arrived at by the method of Dutch auction. In a Dutch auction the bids are being placed at various prices and and the strike price is set as the price at which the required quantity (in this example 44mn shares) is achieved. For example, At PKR13/share investors are willing to buy only 12.0 mn shares, therefore the price has to be lowered. The cut-off price would have to be set at PKR11.05/share to sell the required quantity of 44.0 mn shares. All the bid submitted at prices above the cut-off price will also be issued shares at the cut-off price and the differential would be refunded. In case the bids for number of shares received at the strike price is more than the quantity allocated for the BB portion, shares would be issued to such investors, who have bid at cut-off rate, on pro-rata basis.

IPOs via the book building process are gaining popularity globally over the fixed price IPO methodology
A fair mechanism of price discovery and demand for shares in the market
The greater control and flexibility of Book Building method provides substantial benefits to both the Offerer and the Investor

Lower issue cost compared to traditional method resulting in cost savings
Offerer also has the option to select the quality of investors

Book Building VS Traditional Offering
Features Traditional Offering Book Building process
Pricing
Price at which securities are offered/alloted are known in advance
Price at which securities will be offered/allotted is not known in advance to the investor. Only indicative price range is known
DemandDemand for the securities offered is known only after the closure of the issue
Demand for the securities offered can be known everyday as the Book is built
Investors
The Issuer has no discretion over the quality of investors as the shares are issued to the general public
The issuer can decide to allocate shares to any investors falling within the cutoff price range
Cost of the Transaction
Includes certain fixed costs to be borne by the Issuer that push the overall cost of the transaction at a higher side
The cost of the transaction is significantly reduced as the public portion is smaller and hence fixed costs are reduced

Rationale of Pre-IPO Placement
The concept behind pre-IPO placement is to place some portion of the transaction to the investor before going to the public thereby increasing the likelihood of public subscription
However there is a lock-in period (6 months) for the pre-IPO investors which prevents them from selling immediately post listing, thus pre-IPO placement encourages long term investment in the Company

Rationale of Pre-IPO Placement
The price at which the shares are offered to the pre-IPO investors acts as a ceiling for the general public offering
“ Pre-IPO Investors profile acts as a leading indicator of the transaction success”
Diff between Pre-IPO Investor & Private Equity InvestorPre-IPO Investor invest in a Company that is going for
listingwhereas it is not necessarily the case with Private Equity
