Preferential Allotment

Others 1942 views 9 replies

A company made preferential allotment during the year to its Promoters & their relatives

The Application money is kept in a separate bank account

But a sum exceeding the allotment made, has been transferred to another bank a/c and used in the normal course of business.

My doubt is...

whether the restriction on the usage of application money is applicable only for Public issue or for all issues (including Preferential)?

Kindly post your views

You can use share application money in normal course of business subject to the terms of agreement with prospective shareholder, if any.

However if the transaction (allotment of equity) failed to crystallize then company is liable to refund entire share application money.

This is my personal understanding. Wait for other expert opinions and decide accordingly.

Best Regards

As far as my point of view is concerned public issue is done with specified purposes which we disclose in RHP and on the basis of that general public invest in our security but this is not the case with preferential allotment which is normally done as per company's internal strategy, so it can be used as per business requirement.

Others views solicited.... 

Thanks Ankur ji and Vivek

The said case is that of a listed co.

In the SEBI Guidelines there is no specific clause regarding the utilisation of the Preferential Warrant applciation money.

Does it imply that there is no restriction and hence the company has every right to use the money immediately on receipt ??

waiting for further views.........

Okay...Earlier you haven't mention that it is for a listed company. Tell me are you talking about 25% upfront money?

 

However i'll follow my previous observation:

Absolutely... yes ankur ji

The promoters & others paid 25% of application money in August 09

The company made the allotment in Sep for which further amount was received.

There is also a clause that the 25% can be forfeited if the option is not excercised in 18 months.

Does this have any impact on the utilisation?

Please do not call it application money again and again…creating confusing you know…Let me share with you that I have handled 4 preferential allotments and get them listed on NSE, BSE and DSE including one F.I.I. preferential allotment.  Anyways let’s come to your query…

If the proposed allottee failed to exercise its right to convert within 18 months then Issuer Company has a clear cut right to forfeit entire 25% upfront money…and has a right to use this money.

Thanks

Okay..Sorrry for using the wrong terminology...

But this is giving raise to another question...

If it is not applcn money then how the amount received net of the shares alloted should be disclosed, under what head?

Thanks for the reply Ankur sir
