Shares of Yes Bank have fallen 6.51% in two trading sessions from its close of Rs 1,253.40 on 14 September 2016 in the wake of media reports that the stock market regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is looking into discrepancies in the bank's planned qualified institutional placement (QIP) of shares. The stock had fallen 2.52% to settle at Rs 1,221.80 yesterday, 15 September 2016. Sebi is reportedly looking into Yes Bank's notices to stock exchanges about the planned QIP of shares, the surge in the stock in the run-up to the issue date and its intra-day fall before the announcement to call off the issue. Sebi is reportedly looking into why investment bankers failed to take note of the fact that there was no pre-intimation by Yes Bank to stock exchanges that there would be a board meeting.
It may be recalled that Yes Bank had announced on 8 September 2016 its decision to defer the earlier planned QIP of shares citing extreme volatility during trading day on 8 September 2016 because of misinterpretation of new QIP guidelines. The bank had on 7 September 2016 announced opening of QIP of equity shares of face value Rs 10 each to raise up to $1 billion. Yes Bank had fixed Rs 1,371.84 per share as the floor price at that time.
