Issue Price It is the price at which new issues are offered to the public, at par, or at a premium, i.e., at a price above the face value. The issue price is fixed in consultation with the lead manager, which may be a bank or a financial institution. If there is a premium, the company is required to state in the prospectus for the public and in issue advertisement as well what premium the erstwhile CONTROLLER OF CAPITAL ISSUES would have permitted. The trend now is to fix a premium at as high a level as the investors can be made to accept, as if premium is a matter of company prestige.
Record Date For the purposes of dividend distribution and entitlements to BONUS or RIGHTS ISSUES, a company fixes a date on which a shareholder must officially own shares to qualify. If a share has changed hands after the declaration of dividend, bonus, or rights before this date but the transfer has not been entered in the register of the company, the transferee can get the benefit of the dividend etc., only through the stockbroker.

Merchant Bank Although historically merchant banks, as distinguished from commercial banks which deal with the general public, have been concerned with import and export trade, they have recently expanded their activities by raising finance, at home and abroad, for industry including high – risk hire – purchase financing. These banks also float new debentures and shares on behalf of companies, or underwrite them. They are increasingly involved in takeover bids and mergers, often tendering specialized advice to the bidders.
