As anchor investors’ lock-in period expires today, the LIC share price falls to a new low.

Shares of Life Insurance Corporation of India hit record low of ₹682 on the BSE in opening deals. 30-day lock-in period for anchor investors end today. Anchor investors, who bought over 59 million shares, can sell their shares in the open market from Monday.

Anchor investors are high-profile institutional investors that are allotted shares before the subscription opens for retail and other investors. In most cases, selling pressure persists over the day as anchor investors no longer are bounded to remain invested in these companies after the mandatory lock-in period.

LIC share price has fallen sharply since its listing on the stock exchange. The stock is about 25% down from its IPO issue price of ₹949 per share. LIC shares were allotted to the investors at ⁹949 apiece and got listed at discount.

The government on Friday said it is ‘concerned’ about the temporary dip in the insurance giant’s stock price and assured that the insurer’s management will look into these aspects and raise shareholders’ value.

The insurer posted a 17% decline in consolidated net profit to ₹2,409 crore for the fourth quarter ending March 2022.

Analysts at Mehta Equities say the company will find interest from domestic retail and HNI investors as well as institutional investors.

Anchor investors oversubscribed a day before the initial share sale of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was opened for subscription. The government raised more than ₹20,000 crore by diluting its 3.5% stake in the state-owned insurer.

OpenAI buys new domain chat.com for over  million, it redirects to ChatGPT

The previous owner of the domain turned out to be Dharmesh Shah, founder and CTO of software company HubSpot

OpenAI has bought the domain chat.com. Clicking on it automatically routes you to the ChatGPT website.

The AI giant’s CEO Sam Altman announced this on Thursday, November 7, 2024, by simply posting the URL on X (Formerly Twitter) without any description or reasoning.

Altman’s post has already gotten over 3 million views and nearly 15k likes. The domain purchase is likely part of a rebranding effort.

The domain’s previous owner turned out to be Dharmesh Shah, founder and CTO of software company HubSpot. Shah announced this in posts on X and LinkedIn.

In his post, he detailed how he had purchased the domain for $15.5 million earlier this year and sold it later to an undisclosed (at that time) buyer.

“Well, in an 8 character tweet (talk about brevity), Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI revealed that they were the buyer,” he wrote. ”If you visit the website now, it goes to ChatGPT.” Shah wrote he was not at liberty at that time to share who the acquirer was as he was “going to leave that to them, when they were ready.”

He then went on to share GPT o1 prompt which reasoned the entire episode. “When he does sell a domain, it’s almost never at a loss,” and “Dharmesh doesn’t like profiting off of people he considers friends,” the prompt read, which could mean he did sell it for more than the $15.5 million he bought it for, since it also says he doesn’t like referring to himself in the third person.

However, its also indicated he got compensated in OpenAI shares since the prompt reads that he “always wanted to own OpenAI shares,” that “he doesn’t need the cash from a domain sale,” and that “he made a non-humble brag earlier this year that he’s now an investor in OpenAI.”
