Subscription status of Awfis Space Solutions IPO

One of the key determinants of your allotment is the extent of subscription for various categories. Here is the final subscription status of the Awfis Space Solutions IPO as at close on 27th May 2024, at 17.30 hours.

Data Source: BSE

The issue was open for QIBs (qualified institutional buyers), retail investors and for the HNI / NIIs. There was a broad quota designed for each of the segments viz. the QIBs, the retail and the HNI NII. The table below captures the allocation reservation done for each of the categories.

Data Source: BSE

The response to the IPO of Awfis Space Solutions was strong overall, and it was also quite strong for the retail portion and the HNI portions. The retail subscription of 53.23 times gives a rather low opportunity of allotment in the IPO. However, the investors can still be hopeful since the SEBI norms on retail IPO allotment focuses on trying to allot the basic lot size to as many unique investors as possible. The same can be checked using the allotment checking modus operandi explained above. You just need to wait for the basis of allotment to be finalized on 28th May 2024 and then the actual picture will be clear to you.

Next steps after the closure of the Awfis Space Solutions IPO

The issue opened for subscription on 22nd May 2024 and closed for subscription on 27th May 2024 (both days inclusive). The basis of allotment will be finalized on 28th May 2024 and the refunds will be initiated on 29th May 2024. In addition, the demat credits are expected to also happen on 29th May 2024 and the stock will list on 30th May 2024 on the NSE and the BSE. Awfis Space Solutions Ltd will test the appetite for private sector new age realty stocks in India. The credits to the demat account to the extent of shares allotted will happen by the close of 29th May 2024 under ISIN (INE108V01019).

Investors would do well to remember that the level of subscription is very material as it determines the chances of getting allotment. Normally, higher the subscription ratio, lower the chances of allotment and vice versa. In this case, the subscription levels have been very high in the IPO; both in the Retail segment and also in the HNI / NII segment. Investors in the IPO need to assess their chances of allotment accordingly. The final status will be known once the basis of allotment is finalized and uploaded for you to check. You can apply the above allotment checking process flow after the basis of allotment is finalized.
