Uniparts India fixes price band at ₹548-577 for ₹836 crore IPO
NEW DELHI: Engineering systems and solutions provider Uniparts India on Friday said it has set a price band of ₹548-577 a share for its ₹836-crore initial public offering (IPO).
The three-day initial share sale will open for public subscription on November 30 and conclude on December 2. The bidding for anchor investors will open on November 29, the company announced in a virtual press conference.
The IPO is entirely an offer for sale ( OFS) of 14,481,942 equity shares by promoter group entities and existing investors.
Those offering shares in the OFS are promoter group entities -- The Karan Soni 2018 CG-NG Nevada Trust, The Meher Soni 2018 CG-NG Nevada Trust, Pamela Soni -- and investors -Ashoka Investment Holdings Ltd and Ambadevi Mauritius Holding Ltd.
At the upper end of the price band, the public issue is expected to fetch ₹836 crore.
Since the IPO would be entirely an OFS, the company will not receive any proceeds from the public issue.
Half of the issue size has been reserved for qualified institutional investors, 35% for retail investors and the remaining 15 per cent for non-institutional investors.
Investors can bid for 25 shares and in multiples thereof.
This would be the company’s third attempt to go public. Earlier, Uniparts had filed its IPO papers with Sebi in December 2018 and in September 2014. It also obtained the regulator’s clearance to launch the IPO on the two occasions but did not go ahead with the initial share sale.
Axis Capital, DAM Capital Advisors and JM Financial are the book running lead managers to the issue.
Shares of the company will be listed on the stock exchanges on December 12.
