    E IPO money cannot be used for unidentified acquisitions Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If a company says in the offer document that it plans inorganic growth but has not identified any investment target, then the amount for this and general corporate purpose (GCP) should not exceed 35% of the total amount being raised. However, there will be no limits if the proposed acquisition is identified and specific disclosures about this are made in the offer document.
