Mumbai: Shares of Future Capital Holdings surged 8.3%, heading to their highest single day percentage gain since 30 April, as US private equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC is set to buy a majority holding in the company for $100-$125 million from Pantaloon Retail India.
Warburg Pincus will pay Rs 165-170 per share, which represents a premium of 18-24% to Future Capital’s Friday closing price, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Sunday.
Future Capital shares last traded at Rs 148.25, below the reported offer price, ahead of its board meeting later in the day to approve the transaction. Shares of Pantaloon Retail are up 4%.
