Consultation Paper 22 – Basis of Offer Price of an IPO for Equity
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka proposes amendments to the CSE Listing Rules to mandate disclosure of the methodology used to determine Initial Public Offering prices for equity. The regulations require entities to either obtain and publish an independent valuation report or disclose the research report from the accompanying investment banker detailing the pricing basis. Additionally, issuers must provide specific qualitative and quantitative financial data, including earnings per share, price-to-earnings ratios, and net asset values, to ensure transparency and mitigate systemic risks associated with overvalued or undervalued IPOs.
