What is an OFS or Offer For Sale?

Offer for Sale (OFS) is a convenient way for listed companies to sell their shares through the stock exchange. It was introduced by India's securities regulator, SEBI, in 2012, to help companies reduce their ownership and follow certain rules. This method became popular among different types of companies, including government-owned ones, to sell their shares to the public. OFS makes it easier for anyone, like big investors or regular people, to buy these shares. Understanding how OFS works can be helpful for both investors and companies in the stock market.

Types of OFS:

There are mainly two types of Offer for Sale (OFS) that you should know about:

• Auction OFS: In this type of Offer for Sale (OFS), the final price for shares is decided through a bidding process. Investors place their bids stating how many shares they want and at what price. Then, the shares are given to the investors who bid the highest.

• Normal OFS: Here, the shares are sold at a fixed price set by the company or its owners. Investors can bid for shares at this fixed price, and they are given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

Eligibility to Join OFS:To take part in an Offer for Sale (OFS), you need to meet certain criteria. Usually, individuals, big investors, and non-resident Indians (NRIs) with a valid Demat account can participate. Participating involves placing bids through authorized stockbrokers.

Features of OFS:

Offer for Sale (OFS) offers some helpful features for both sellers and buyers. Let's take a look at what makes OFS special:

• Seller Eligibility:Only major shareholders or promoter groups with over 10% ownership can start an OFS.

• Reserved Shares: A portion of shares is reserved for institutional investors like insurance companies and mutual funds.

• Retail Investor Participation: A minimum percentage of shares is kept aside for regular investors.

• Transparent Price Discovery: Bidding process ensures transparent price discovery.

• Quick Process: OFS happens in just one day, making it efficient.

• Predefined Floor Price: Sellers set a minimum price for shares.

• Limited Allocation: Cap on how many shares one bidder can buy prevents excessive concentration.
