How might the complete lack of QIB participation on Day 1 impact the final subscription status and potential listing gains by the close date?

What specific remedial actions is Symbiotec Pharmalab taking to address the recent US FDA Form 483 observations, and how could this affect future export approvals?

Given that nearly all revenue is derived from APIs, how vulnerable is the company's growth trajectory to potential price compression in the corticosteroid segment?
