Part B: Financial company Operation (60 marks)

Following the case of Polynovo Limited company, Polynovo now has successfully listed on NYSE in the US and the company is issuing a prospectus to potential investors regarding a new share issue.

The prospectus is dated 1 January 2021 and invites the public to apply for 900,000 ordinary shares at $10 per share. The terms of the share issue are $4 on application, $2.50 on allotment,

$2 on the first call and $1.50 on a second call.

If the issue is oversubscribed the directors can make a pro-rata issue of shares and the excess application money will be applied to allotment and calls.

On 1 March 2021 applications close and applications had been received for 1,200,000 shares. A table summarising the applications received is presented below:

On 15 March the shares were allotted and on 1 April all outstanding allotment money was received.

On 10 April share issue costs of $60,000 were paid.

On 6 October the first call is made on the ordinary shares and on 31 November all the call money was received except for the call on 20,000 shares. The shares were forfeited on 5 December and reissued at $9.50 (as fully paid) on 31 December with costs associated with the forfeited shares of $1,000 paid on 31 December.
