Since the costs of floatation are higher, other ways of rising finance would reduce the cost of funds. Listed company status will put additional burden on the managerial staff. The buying and selling of shares by the directors and other related persons might attract the provisions of 'insider trading'. There will always be pressure from shareholders to dividends, which may not be in the interests of the company. declare

There would be more flow of funds into the capital market, thereby development of the economy and faster growth in industrialisation.
Disadvantages of Free Pricing The free pricing system of public issues is subject to the following drawbacks: Even though it appears that the price is fixed freely, it may happen to be an unrealistic price fixed by the company in consultation with the lead manager to the issue. For a developing country like India, absolute freedom from regulations will lead to unethical practices in the capital market. In an unregulated market, the risk exposure to the investor is more, and hence the regulatory mechanism should continue.

Book-Building About Book Building

Book-building is basically a capital issuance process used in Initial Public Offer (IPO), aiding price and demand discovery. It is a process used for marketing a public offer of equity shares of a company. It is a mechanism wherein, during the period for which the book for the IPO is open, bids are collected from investors at various prices, which are above or equal to the floor price. The process aims at tapping both wholesale and retail investors. The offer/issue price is then determined after the bid closing date based on certain evaluation criteria.

Rights Issues
If an existing company intends to raise additional funds, it can do so by borrowing or by issuing new shares. One of the most common methods for a public company to use is to offer existing shareholders the opportunity to subscribe further shares. This mode of raising finance is called 'Rights Issues'.
Reasons for a Rights Issue In times of inflation, the replacement costs of assets will be high; unless the company can retain cash from substantial profits, the only alternative is to raise cash from a fresh issue of shares. For funding expansion projects, a company may make a rights issue. If a company has a proportion of interest-bearing loan capital, it can suffer from a squeeze on profits. The company can improve its capital structure position by obtaining extra share capital. At a time when the share prices were relatively high, companies found it easy to persuade their shareholders to subscribe cash for new issues with a view to expansion by takeover.

Long-dated Rights
The long-dated rights are a dilutive anti-takeover device in which rights

are automatically distributed to existing stockholders during hostile takeover. These 'poison pills' are automatically exercised when during a hostile takeover, a company or an investor acquires a certain percentage of shares, thereby diluting the takeover.

Non-voting Shares Non-voting shares (NVS) are an innovative instrument for raising funds, although prevalent in many developed countries for years. The non-voting shares are closely akin to preference shares that do not carry any voting rights nor is the dividend payable pre-determined. However, unlike preference capital, non-voting shares do not carry a pre-determined dividend. The payoff to the investor for the assumption of higher risk levels and the compensation for loss of control is the high rate of dividends payable to them. Companies that are shy of exposure over leveraged companies, new companies and closely held companies can find NVS useful. It may find favour with small investors, non-resident Indians, overseas corporate bodies, mutual funds etc. The investor gains in terms of higher dividends, purchase at advantageous low price, liquidity and capital appreciation.
