Indian payment services provider AGS Transact Technologies has fixed a price brand of INR166–INR175 per share for its initial stake sale to the public, according to a company statement.

The company intends to raise INR6.8bn ($9.18m) through the initial public offering (IPO), which will open for subscription on 19 January and close on 21 January 2022. 

AGS Transact Technologies would be the first Indian company to raise funds through IPO in the calendar year 2022.

Entire OFS

The IPO would be through an entire offer for sale (OFS) of shares of INR6.8bn by existing investors in the company. Individual investor Ravi B Goyal would tender shares of up to INR6.78bn through the IPO.

Other company owners VC Gupte (INR7.63m), Shailesh Shetty (INR5.97m), Rakesh Kumar (INR4.64m), Nikhil Patiyat and Rajesh Harshedrai Shah (INR2.98m) are other selling shareholders, it said.

Being a complete OFS, the company will not receive any proceeds from the offer.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
