The Price Band of the Offer has been fixed from ₹ 960 per Equity Share to ₹ 1008 per Equity Share. Bids can be made for a minimum of 14 Equity Shares and multiples of 14 Equity Shares thereafter.
The offer includes a reservation of up to 108,900 equity shares of face value of ₹10 each, aggregating up to ₹[●] million, for subscription by eligible employees (the “Employee Reservation Portion”). The Company, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers, has offered a discount of up to ₹90 per Equity Share to Eligible Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion (“Employee Discount”). The Offer less the Employee Reservation Portion is hereinafter referred to as the “Net Offer”. The Offer and the Net Offer shall constitute [●]% and [●]%, respectively, of the post-Offer paid-up equity share capital of the Company.
The Company proposes to utilize the net proceeds towards repayment and/ or prepayment of all or a portion of certain outstanding borrowings availed by the Company and general corporate purposes.
The Offer is being made through the Book Building Process, in terms of Rule 19(2)(b) of the SCRR read with Regulation 31 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations and in compliance with Regulation 6(1) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, wherein not more than 50% of the Net Offer shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”, and such portion, the “QIB Portion”), provided that our Company may, in consultation with the BRLMs, allocate up to 60% of the QIB Portion to Anchor Investors on a discretionary basis, in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations (the “Anchor Investor Portion”), of which one-third shall be reserved for domestic Mutual Funds, subject to valid Bids being received from domestic Mutual Funds at or above the Anchor Investor Allocation Price, in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
In the event of under-subscription or non-allocation in the Anchor Investor Portion, the balance Equity Shares of face value of ₹10 each shall be added to the remaining QIB Portion (“Net QIB Portion”). Further, 5% of the Net QIB Portion shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Mutual Funds only, and the remainder of the Net QIB Portion shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to all QIBs (other than Anchor Investors), including Mutual Funds, subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Offer Price.
However, if the aggregate demand from the Mutual Funds is less than 5% of the Net QIB Portion, the balance Equity Shares of face value of ₹10 each available for allocation will be added to the remaining QIB Portion for proportionate allocation to QIBs. Further, not less than 15% of the Net Offer shall be available for allocation to Non-Institutional Bidders (“Non-Institutional Portion”) in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, out of which (a) one-third of such portion shall be reserved for Bidders with application size of more than ₹0.20 million and up to ₹1.00 million; and (b) two-thirds of such portion shall be reserved for Bidders with application size of more than ₹1.00 million, provided that the unsubscribed portion in either of such sub-categories may be allocated to Bidders in the other sub-category of Non-Institutional Bidders.
