According to reports, initial investigations by the stock market regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) found that Yes Bank had violated key norms of the listing obligations and disclosure rules (LODR) relating to misrepresentation of facts and adequate disclosure before it proceeded with the qualified institutional placement (QIP) last month. 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.
Meanwhile, in its clarification issued to the stock exchanges during market hours today, 6 October 2016, Yes Bank said that as a matter of policy, it does not comment on such speculative stories.
