The price at which a company's shares are offered initially in the primary market is called as the Issue price. When they begin to be traded, the market price may be above or below the issue price.

The company and merchant banker are required to give full disclosures of the attributes which they had considered while deciding the issue price. There are two types of issues, one where company and Lead Merchant Banker fix a price (called fixed price) and other, where the company and the Lead Manager (LM) stipulate a floor price or a price band and leave it to market forces to determine the final price (price discovery through book building process).
