Bought out deal

A bought out deal is a method of offering securities to the public through a sponsor or underwriter (a
bank, financial institution, or an individual). The securities are listed in one or more stock exchanges
within a time frame mutually agreed upon by the company and the sponsor. This option saves the
issuing company the costs and time involved in a public issue. The cost of holding the shares can be
reimbursed by the company, or the sponsor can offer the shares to the public at a premium to earn
profits. Terms are agreed upon by the company

The Securities and Exchange Board of India mandates that only private companies can choose this
method of issuing securities
