In an IPO, the promoters must contribute at least twenty percent (20%) of the postissue

capital.

The term promoter includes:

1. person(s) in overall control of the company;

2. person(s) who are instrumental in the formulation of a plan or program

pursuant to which the securities are offered to the public; and

3. persons named in the prospectus as promoters.

Any person acting as a director or officer of the issuer company merely in a

professional capacity is not included in the definition of promoter.

Goodwill represents the excess value over the tangible assets, reflecting the company's reputation and relationships. Debiting goodwill accounts in this context acknowledges that the promoters' involvement enhances the overall worth of the business, justifying the issuance of shares as compensation.
