The Union Bank of Colombo Limited announce the following allotment categories

The Applicant who application over 2000 shares will allot the shares proportion would be based on the number shares applied and the period of the applicant being a customer of Union Bank of Colombo. The both will be consider for 50:50.

63,117 4,689,777,500

My view

The Union bank faces the huge stress to allot the shares with complication of these categories and these much of oversubscription. But mostly the other investor categories are fairly affect because of the

Category Number of shares allotted as per Prospectus Number of shares applied Number of times over subscribed
Category A 1,500,000 1,886,700 1.2578
Category B 2,250,000 483,020,800 214.6759
Category c 11,250,000 4,689,777,500 416.8691
Total 15,000,000 5,174,685,000 344.9790

As I see from the Application, I feel Union bank of Colombo Limited Over subscribe by the 344.9790 times.

This may be the historical event in the Colombo Stock exchange to over subscribe as a 345 times.

Mostly the other investors are subscribing more than the employees or the customers. By see the above ratio I doubt that the Employee of Union bank of Colombo limited may feels it’s not a good investment or they don’t like to be part in the IPO process. That’s may be the reason for not subscribing UBC IPO.

As usual it’s used to over subscribe by the other investors; who are mostly expecting to gain capital benefits in the initial days and long term gains.

    Little correction

    Under category C, allotment basis should be 100 shares instead of 100%
