Reliance, Samaj issue IPO

 Kathmandu Aug 20

Reliance Life Insurance Company and Samaj Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha have issued their Initial Public Offering (IPO) from Thursday. 

Reliance Life Insurance has issued 6.3 million units of shares worth Rs. 630 million and Samaj Laghubitta has issued 86,000 units of shares worth Rs. 8.6 million. The per unit price of the share is Rs. 100.

Reliance has allocated 5 per cent or 315,000 units shares for the mutual funds, 5 per cent for its staff and the remaining 5.67 million will be open for the public.

Likewise, Samaj has allocated 1,000 units of shares for its staff and 4,300 units for mutual funds. Remaining 80,700 units will be sold to the public.

Public can apply for the IPO until coming Monday, August 24. The application time can be extended to 3 September if all the shares are not sold within the first deadline. Investors can apply for minimum 10 units to maximum 63,000 units of shares of Reliance.

Similarly, the application limit for the Samaj is minimum 10 units to maximum 5,000 units.

Given the trend of more than half a million application for most of the IPOs, Samaj's IPO would be oversubscribed manifold since only 80,7000 units are open to the public. Likewise, the investors are likely to get only 10 units per person through lottery system.
