This makes it easier to discover the best products and improve the quality and efciency of their lives, he wrote. a strong company, he said his team works hard at making Facebook the best place for great people to have a big impact on the world and learn from other great people. We have cultivated a unique culture and management approach that we call the Hacker Way, he said. The word hacker has an unfairly negative connotation from being portrayed in the media as people who break into computers. In reality, hacking just means building something quickly or testing the boundaries of what can be done. Like most things, it can be used for good or bad, but the vast majority of hackers I have met tend to be idealistic people who want to have a positive impact on the world, he wrote. The Hacker Way is an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration. Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete. They just have to go x it often in the face of people who say its impossible or are content with the status quo, Mr. Zuckerberg said. PTI

We made a commitment to them when we gave them equity that wed work hard to make it worth a lot and make it liquid, and this IPO is fullling our commitment. As we become a public company, were making a similar commitment to our new investors and we will work just as hard to full it. As part of building

Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday permitted promoters of top 100 companies to quickly dilute their shares through a separate window on the BSE and the National Stock Exchange, which had to be completed within a day. The guidelines, SEBI said in a circular, will help promoters dilute or ofoad their holding in listed companies in a transparent manner with wider participation. The norms, which follow the decision taken by the SEBI board earlier this month, will help the companies in complying with the minimum public shareholding stipulation. The decision will also help the government expeditiously ofoad its stake in public sector companies and raise funds for achieving the disinvestment target of Rs.40,000 crore for the current scal. All listed companies are required to have at least 25 per cent public holding while in case of state-owned company the limit is 10 per cent. Under this window, the promoter will have to sell eq-
uity of minimum one per cent subject to a minimum of Rs.25 crore. However, in respect of companies, where one per cent of the paid-up capital at closing price on the specied date is less than Rs.25 crore, dilution would be at least 10 per cent of the paid-up capital or such lesser percentage so as to achieve the minimum public shareholding in a single tranche, it said. The duration of the offer for sale shall not exceed one trading day, it said, adding that the placing of orders by trading members should take place during trading hours. As per the guideline, the promoters should not have purchased shares of the company during the 12 weeks period prior and after the offer of sale. All promoters or promoter group entities of top 100 companies based on average market capitalisation of the last completed quarter, it said. The guideline said that minimum of 25 per cent of the shares offered shall be reserved for mutual funds and insurance companies. PTI

Group of Ministers (EGoM) will meet in the next ten days to nalise stake sale in Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) in the wake of new guidelines issued by SEBI. We discussed the implications of the new SEBI guidelines on Thursday. We are yet to take a decision on the mode and timing for divestment in ONGC, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Jaipal Reddy told journalists after a
meeting of EGoM on disinvestment. The Institutional Placement Programme (IPP) guidelines issued by SEBI will allow promoters to sell only up to 10 per cent of their stake to maintain minimum public shareholding of 75 per cent in private sector companies and 90 per cent in the case of PSUs. Mr. Reddy expressed the hope that the government would be able to complete 5 per cent stake sale in ONGC in the current scal itself. We have not taken a view.
We will meet once again when the Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission, Montek Singh Ahluwalia is available. We will then take a nal call. Both the options are open (follow-on public offer and auction route), he remarked. After the dilution, the government stake in ONGC will come down to 69.14 per cent from 74.14 per cent. The issue of disinvestment in BHEL was not taken up as Heavy Industries Minister Praful Patel was not present.
