How might the zero institutional subscription influence Omara Ventures' decision to revise its price band or issue size before the closing date?
What specific strategic plans has management outlined to mitigate the high inventory holding periods and negative operating cash flows post-listing?
Will the lack of retail and HNI interest prompt underwriters to adjust their allocation strategies or offer additional incentives to boost final subscription numbers?
