An offer for sale is a corporate action in which the promoters (owners) sell their shares to raise additional funds for the company. Up to 3.76 crore shares with a face value of Rs 2 will be offered in the OFS, representing 4 per cent of the total paid-up equity share, while the floor price for the same has been fixed at Rs 154 a share.

The central government, through an OFS, would divest 8 per cent shares in IRCON, including the green shoe option, the X post said. The centre's plan includes selling 4 per cent of IRCON, with an option to sell an additional 4 per cent stake if the offer is oversubscribed, it said in a regulatory filing.

The green shoe option is a provision that grants the seller the right to sell investors more shares than initially planned by the issuer if the demand proves higher than expected.
