Upon determining Cut-Off Price for the Retail Investors, the Other Shares reserved for such category shall be allocated to eligible bids of Retail Investors on price priority method at multiple clearing prices / Cut-Off’ price in accordance with SEBI OFS Circulars. In the case of retail potion being oversubscribed, the aggregate number of Offer Shares bid for at a particular clearing price / Cut-Off Price, as the case may be, is more than available quantity then the allocation for such bids will be done on a proportionate basis at such clearing price (at or above the Cut-Offer Price) / the Cut-Off Price, as the case may be.

Assessment:
Purpose of LTTS OFS is to bring down promoter stake to 75% as per SEBI stipulations. LTTS ( L&T Technology Services) is one of the leading global pure-play Engineering Research and Development (ER&D) services company.
ER&D services are a group of services provided to manufacturing, technology and process engineering companies, to help them develop and build products, processes and infrastructure which they require to deliver products and services to their end customers.
L&T Technology Serv. reported Very Positive Financial performance in quarter ended Mar-19.
LTTS deal pipeline is strong across verticals, led by transportation and medical devices,
LTTS has reduced debt and is virtually debt free.
Company has a good return on equity (ROE) track record with 3 Years ROE 33.38%
Company has been maintaining a healthy dividend payout of ~ 40%
The Last LTTS OFS which was at floor proce of Rs. 1600 failed to be subscribed fully and the share ruled well below the Floor price for almost 1 month after that. However this may not be the case this time.
Bidding in OFS opportunities is challenging for retail investors because of the need to may money upfront and change in bid price by large investors at the last moment. Hence chances of allotment many times is difficult.I intend to apply in LTTS OFS with a view to get an allocation but may not bid very aggressively. If allotted shares in LTTS OFS, I have expectation of moderate returns in short to medium term.
With markets at a high & stock not being in F&O, some caution is warranted when bidding for large quantities.
Standard disclaimer: I am not a SEBI registered analyst. I may have vested interest in every stock I discuss. Please do your own due diligence as stock market investments have high degree of inherent risk.
