IPO Balloting Result - Example(Mobilia IPO)
There is nothing too complicated in these columns, therefore I will use a simple story to explain these terms and their meanings to every reader.
For every balloting result or basis of allotment, you will always see 2 categories of allotment which are under Bumiputra and under Public (Non-Bumi).
Let's get start with my story
As a Chinese, I will only look at the lower part (Public category) to review the result and if you are under Bumi then you should look at the upper part (Bumi category).
Assume that I subscribed a total of 20,000 units of shares (or 200 lots) of Mobilia Holdings Berhad.
So I’m under the 7th tier which is the range of shares between 20,000 units and 49,900 units (or 200 lots to 499 lots).
Under this tier, there are 6344 applicants and only 308 of them are being selected. This means that the success rate of this tier is 4.85%.
Every successful applicant from those 308 will get 6000 units of shares (or 60 lots). All successful applicants get a total of 1.848 million units of shares from the public offering of 10 million => 18.4% total shares allotted.
IPO Balloting Result – Interpretation/Analysis(Mobilia IPO)
In addition to this Basis of Allotment, we can also see what Press Release or other news said like in this link
Mobilia IPO oversubscribed by 92 times by The Star
According to this news report, it is clear that Mobilia IPO received popular attention from both Bumi and Public category.
The overall oversubscription rate by 92 times is much higher than the around 80 times from the case of Optimax Holdings Berhad IPO.
From my point of view, such a high and abnormal oversubscription rate is absolutely extraordinary, because the furniture industry market is very competitive and the offer period of this IPO is considered short. (This IPO offer period was 1 week, while it took 3 weeks for Optimax and HPPHB)
Of course, there may also be the following points that have contributed to the high participation rate.
• Mobilia IPO issue price of RM0.23 per share - participation costs weren't high.
• Robust performance of HPPHB IPO after
When the oversubscription rate of an IPO is too high, both the success rate and the number of shares allotted to each successful applicant will be greatly reduced.
Subsequently, almost all of the applicants will have a high chance to get this much/all shares when the oversubscription rate is very low or undersubscribed. (You may refer to MR.DIY IPO basis of allotment).
Of course, there will be coordination between the two. It seems that some IPOs may increase the success rate but reduce the stocks acquired, or the two may be reversed.
You should proceed to await the update of your IPO application status on the same night after the basis of allotment is released. But beware that the status might not be updated at the same business day, sometime the process could take up to 2-3 business days after release of balloting results.
