FAQ :
An abridged prospectus is a memorandum containing the salient features of a full prospectus, as specified by SEBI regulations.
The revised format for disclosures in the abridged prospectus is provided in Annexure A of the SEBI circular.
The format for disclosures on the front outside cover page of offer documents has been updated and is available as Annexure B of the circular, aiming to reduce crowding and improve clarity.
This circular is applicable to all issues opening after the date of its issuance, which is February 4, 2022.
Issuer companies and Merchant Bankers are required to insert a QR code on documents like the front cover page and abridged prospectus. Scanning this code will lead to the downloading of the prospectus, abridged prospectus, and price band advertisement.
They must ensure that disclosures in the abridged prospectus are adequate, accurate, and free from misleading statements. Qualitative statements must be substantiated with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and quantitative factors.
