Minimum subscription

Māori translation:
Definition

The minimum subscription is the lowest amount of IPO shares investors need to buy for an IPO to complete successfully, which is typically 90%. If the 90% threshold isn’t met, the company returns the money from the orders placed. This situation is considered an undersubscribed IPO. While it’s not common, it could be due to poor promotion, or share market or economic conditions at the time.
