Capital Structure and IPO Volume

The capital structure of Çitlekçi Mağazacılık Gıda and the ratio of the publicly offered portion serve as a significant indicator regarding the company's market value and capital adequacy. Within the scope of the Quotation Directive, the company's total capital and the portion offered to the public have been finalized.

■Total Capital: 180,000,000 TL (Nominal value shares)

■Nominal Value of Publicly Offered Shares: 36,500,000 TL

■Maximum Order Value: 1,000,000 TL

From a market depth perspective, the constraint of a maximum order value set at 1 million TL carries the potential for sharp price movements and gap risks, particularly during the opening auction. There is a possibility that smart money may use shallow liquidity pools to manipulate volatility; therefore, avoiding aggressive market orders in initial trades and maintaining limit order structures is essential for risk management.
