1 5 August 2016 EY Regulatory Alert SEBI releases Discussion Paper on review of framework for Institutional Trading Platform for inviting comments from public on the changes proposed Executive summary Regulatory Alerts cover significant regulatory news, developments and changes in legislation that affect Indian businesses. They act as technical summaries to keep you on top of the latest regulatory issues. For more information, please contact your EY advisor. Institutional Trading Platform ( ITP ) was introduced by Securities & Exchange Board of India ( SEBI ) for listing of shares of certain companies like high-tech start-ups, technology companies etc to provide them an access to the market. SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009 ( ICDR Regulations ) contain relevant regulatory framework for listing of shares on ITP. Recently, on July 29, 2016, SEBI has released a discussion paper laying down certain proposals, based on feedback from market participants and recommendations of Primary Market Advisory Committee ( PMAC ) of SEBI, for making changes to the ITP framework in order to make it more accessible to the companies. The comments of public and various other stakeholders on these proposals are invited by 14 August This regulatory alert summarizes key aspects of the proposed changes in the ITP framework.
2 Background ITP was introduced by SEBI pursuant to the decisions taken in its board meeting dated 25 June 2013 to provide a platform for listing of start-up and Small and Medium Enterprises ( SMEs ) without Initial Public Offer ( IPO ). Relevant regulatory framework for ITP was introduced under Chapter XC of ICDR Regulations on 8 October 2013 by SEBI (Listing of Specified Securities on Institutional Trading Platform) Regulations, Eligible entities for listing on ITP Cap on percentage holding in the postissue Permitted investors in ITP Percentage allocation of net public offer to various investors Discretionary allotment to institutional investors Compulsory market making Lock-in of pre-issue Size of trading lot These proposals have been discussed in detail in next page. Later, vide SEBI Notification dated 14 August 2015, existing Chapter XC of ICDR Regulations was replaced by new Chapter XC named Listing on Institutional Trading Platform 1. These amended regulations relaxed various eligibility criteria for listing on ITP like restrictions on the turnover, paid-up, years the company has been in existence, etc. The amended regulations also provided the option for listing on ITP with or without a public offer. Subsequently, SEBI has received feedback from the market participants to make the said platform more accessible to the companies. The PMAC of SEBI has also deliberated the related issues and made certain recommendations. Based on these recommendations, SEBI has released a discussion paper laying down certain proposals for changes to the ITP framework. As a part of the consultative process, SEBI has invited comments from public and various stakeholders on such proposals by 14 August Proposals for changes to ITP framework SEBI has proposed changes to ITP framework in the following areas: Name of Chapter XC of ICDR Regulations Meaning of institutional investors 1 This new chapter does not apply to SMEs already listed on ITP.
3 S No Particulars Existing Proposed Amendment 1. Name of Chapter XC of ICDR Regulations Listing on Institutional Trading Platform High-tech Start-up & other new business Platform 2. Definition of institutional investors 3. Eligible entities for listing on ITP 4. Cap on percentage holding of a person in post-issue 5. Permitted investors in ITP 6. Allocation of net offer to public Qualified Institutional Buyers ( QIBs ) Family trust or systematically important NBFCs registered with Reserve Bank of India or intermediaries registered with SEBI, all with net-worth of more than INR 500 crores Minimum prior holding of QIBs of 25% in technology related companies and 50% in other companies 25% Institutional investors and non-institutional investors ( NIIs ) Not less than 75% to institutional investors Not more than 25% to NIIs Definition of institutional investors to include the following additional investors: Category III Foreign Portfolio Investor Entity meeting all the following criteria: Pooled investment fund with minimum assets of USD 150 million Registered with the financial regulator in the resident jurisdiction Resident of a country whose securities market regulator is a signatory to the International Organization of Securities Commission s Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU ) or a signatory to Bilateral MoU with SEBI Not resident in a country identified by Financial Action Task Force as a jurisdiction having strategic Anti-Money Laundering or Combating the Financing of Terrorism Deficiencies, or as a jurisdiction not having an action plan to address these deficiencies Holding of all institutional investors (as per the expanded definition specified above) to be factored for determining the eligibility criteria Limit of minimum holding of 25% to apply to all companies irrespective of the industry sector This requirement be done away with Definition of institutional investors expanded Not less than 50% to institutional investors Not more than 50% to NIIs
4 S No Particulars Existing Proposed Amendment 7. Discretionary allotment to institutional investors Limit on discretionary allotment to an individual institutional investor 10% Limit revised to 25% 8. Market making 9. Lock-in of pre-issue 10. Size of trading lot No provision Entire pre-issue of shareholders to be locked-in of 6 months. However, certain exemptions provided with respect to shares allotted under employee stock option scheme, or shares held by venture fund, alternate investment fund of Category I, foreign venture investor in case of listing pursuant to IPO Market making compulsory for a minimum period of 3 years for issue size of less than INR 100 crores Lock-in of 6 months to apply to all categories Minimum size INR 10 lakhs Minimum size reduced to INR 5 lakhs Comments ITP framework has so far received a lukewarm interest from companies and investors alike. Minimum dilution criterion for promoters (of 25% to 50%) and various conditions restricting liquidity and access of investors to ITP have acted as key dampeners. With these proposals, liquidity and access to ITP could possibly improve for investors, and likewise certain companies might find ITP more attractive due to relaxation of minimum dilution thresholds.
