A number of businesses have chosen to submit their initial public offering (IPO) documents in secret beforehand.
What is Confidential IPO Filing?
By amending the Issue of Capital and Disclosure Regulations (ICDR), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) enabled the confidential pre-filing of Draft Red Herring Prospectuses (PDRHP) an optional method starting in 2022.
In contrast to the standard procedure, wherein the complete DRHP is disclosed to the public, the pre-filings in this case are private.
When the corporation really decides on the timing, etc., of the issue, the DRHP—which takes into account the regulator's opinions—is released to the public.
