Investors are free to bid at any price above the floor price, and shares are allotted on a top-down basis, starting from the highest bidder. • The regulator at its board meeting also took a decision that would help investors avoid waiting for a full year to know the correct financial health of a company as companies would have to disclose their balance sheets on a half-yearly basis.
