In other words, only 21.79% shares have been freshly issued by the company and the remaining 78.21% shares were sold and transferred by the existing shareholders and net proceeds in respect of OFS were transferred to the existing shareholders and therefore, it is wrong to hold that the company is the sole beneficiary of IPO proceeds.
