Interim Order in the matter of Synoptics Technologies Limited Page 4 of 21 7. The sharp rise in bids across both the HNI and retail categories on the third day appeared to create an impression of heightened investor interest, which was followed by a significant increase in retail subscription to 2.54x on the fourth day. The bids submitted by entities that had applied in both categories were subsequently cancelled. Despite these cancellations, the issue sailed through primarily on account of retail investor interest which peaked on the fourth day. The issue did not need to enforce the underwriting commitment provided by the Lead Manager.
