PremiumSBFC Finance has filed its draft prospectus with the market regulator to raise funds to the tune of ₹1,600 crore through the initial public offering (IPO). The public offer is a mix of fresh issues and offers for sale (OFS). The company plans to utilise a part of the proceeds for meeting future Tier-1 capital requirements. After the IPO, SBFC's equity shares will be listed on the stock exchanges BSE and NSE.
According to the draft prospectus, the ₹1,600 crore IPO includes a fresh issue of ₹750 crore and OFS of ₹850 crore.
Under the OFS, promoters such as Arpwood Partners Investment Advisors will offload a portion of its stake aggregating ₹398.19 crore, while Arpwood Capital will divest stakes amounting to ₹97.72 crore, Eight45 Services to sell shares around ₹79.08 crore, and SBFC Holdings will divest stakes around ₹275 crore.
The equity shares offered under the IPO will have a face value of ₹10 each.
Of the total IPO, 50% of the issue size will be reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), while 15% of the size will be allocated to non-institutional investors (NII), and the remaining 35% will be offered to retail individual investors (RII).
SBFC plans to utilise the proceeds from the fresh issue under the IPO towards augmenting its capital base to meet future capital requirements arising out of the growth of its business and assets. Also, the company expects to receive the benefits of listing of equity shares on exchanges.
SBFC anticipates that the net proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy its Tier- I capital requirements.
However, the net proceeds from the OFS will be given to the promoting shareholders.
The details of price bands, timeframe, and other details will be announced after Sebi gives a go-ahead to the IPO.
ICICI Securities, Axis Capital, and Kotak Mahindra Capital Company are acting as the book-running lead managers of the IPO, while KFin Technologies is the registrar to the offer.
