Pricing rules for preferential issues were temporarily relaxed

(Commercial Representative) Mumbai, Ta. Thursday, June 25, 2020

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the capital market regulatory body, has decided in a board meeting to relax the pricing rules for preferential issues from July 31 to December 2020 and to change the insider trading prohibition norms.

SEBI has temporarily relaxed the pricing rules for preferential issues for issues between July and December 31 or in the event of approval by the regulator in view of the Covid-15 crisis. The current pricing methodology for the preferential issue is intended to provide an additional option.

In case of frequently trading stocks under this option, the price of the shares to be allotted in the preferential issue should be less than the weekly high and low volume average of the volume weightage average price (VWAP) of the respective stocks during the last twelve weeks or last two weeks. In addition, certain securities which are allotted on preferential basis using the above pricing formula will be locked-in for a period of three years.

SEBI said the Insider Trading Prohibition Rules have been amended, including maintaining a structured digital database containing the types of unpublished price sensitive information and the names of the informants. These include automation of the process of filing disclosures to stock exchanges, restrictions on non-availability of trading windows for transactions as determined by SEBI, and filing by non-compliance entities of the Code of Conduct with stock exchanges.

It may be mentioned that SEBI has allowed acquisitions through stock exchange settlement process through bulk or block deals during the open offer. In case the open offer has been publicly announced and acquisitions are made indirectly, the details of full payment made under the open offer will have to be deposited in the form of cash or bank guarantee in two working days before the date of public statement or in the escrow account.

SEBI has also approved some changes in the settlement norms. Promoters will also be involved with the Principal Officer for the purpose of calculating the base amount. Instead of issuing a settlement notice to save time, SEBI will include in the show cause notice a paragraph informing the notice about the option to file a settlement application.

MUMBAI: Brokerage firms and fintech companies have objected to market regulator SEBI's discussion paper considering all stock trading orders issued through Application Programming Interface (API) as separate trading, saying it could adversely affect the growth of such trading from India. Algo trading is considered to be an automatic buying-selling system based on algorithms. SEBI has recently said in a discussion paper that it would create a framework for regulating Algo trading by retail investors. A senior official of a brokerage firm said that monitoring of Algo trading is a need of the hour, but such an attempt could hamper the growth of Sebi Algo trading. He added that if the suggestions made in the SEBI discussion paper were implemented, it would be difficult for brokers to make the API available. About 70% of the daily trading volume in Indian stock markets is transacted through advanced forms of algo trading. Algo Trading came to India in the year 2006, but then only se...
