Within this period there are 80 shares are sold and remaining 20 shares are unsold from the IPO.
So the company Z doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to sell at least 90 percent of the total shares.
Therefore company Z have to return all the money to investor which are collect from selling 80 shares of stocks from the investor.
