SEBI suggests changes in public float standards for companies under insolvency

-

(Commercial Representative) Mumbai, Ta. 20 August 2020, Thursday

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the regulator of the capital market, has issued a discussion paper outlining three options for companies under insolvency to increase public float in a faster manner.

Under SEBI norms, listed companies are required to maintain a minimum public shareholding (MPS) of 5 per cent. But companies that are under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) are relieved by the rule. If the MPS falls below 10 per cent due to new fund-raising by such companies, they are allowed to raise the threshold to 18 per cent and increase it to 5 per cent in three years.

Companies whose MPS is less than 5 per cent, but more than 10 per cent, are required to bring it down to 3 per cent in three years from the date of decline. Shares of incoming investors remain locked-in for one year.

SEBI has suggested three options based on the recommendations of the Primary Markets Advisory Committee (PMAC). At the time of re-listing of their shares in a post CIRP companies, the public float should be required to be at least 10 per cent. The second option is to achieve the 10% threshold in six months instead of 18 months.

The third option is for companies to do public float with 5 per cent MPS after relisting, 10 per cent in 12 months and 5 per cent in the next six months. This discussion paper suggests eliminating the one-year lock-in requirement to help achieve MPS compliance. SEBI has invited comments by September 15.

SEBI had recently decided to reconsider the MPS norms after seeing the volatility in share prices following the re-listing of interest soybean stocks in January this year. Ruchi soybeans rose an extraordinary 3% in just six months after being listed on the stock exchange again.

There is no difference between soymilk and cow's milk. So the conservative industries of milk processing are now using this milk to make yogurt and ice cream. Consumers also cannot tell the difference between ice cream made from cow's milk and from soy milk. Also, the production capacity of soy milk can be increased than that of cow's milk. And the price can be cheaper. Soybeans mainly contain two types of enzymes that are inactivated in the soymilk process. Leukoxidase that catalyzes the oxidation of fatty acids.

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
