NSE Revises IPO Offer Size as Shareholders Trim OFS
The National Stock Exchange of India is preparing to sell shares to the public through an IPO.
In its newer filing, several existing shareholders said they would sell fewer shares than they had originally planned.
SBI Capital Markets was added as a new seller.
Amit Kumar Lohia, who had planned to sell a small number of shares, was removed from the list.
The total number of shares offered is therefore smaller than in the earlier draft.
Some shareholders may be keeping more shares because they hope their value will rise after listing.
Existing shareholders are expected to offer about 5.5% of NSE’s equity.
The final IPO size will depend on the number of shares sold and the final price.
The revised red herring prospectus reduces the proposed offer-for-sale shares compared with the draft filing.
State Bank of India cut its proposed sale from 24.75 million shares to 15.97 million shares.
SBI Capital Markets was added as a selling shareholder with 8.78 million shares, while Amit Kumar Lohia was removed.
Several other shareholders, including Morgan Stanley affiliate MS Strategic, Bank of Baroda and Indian Bank, also reduced their proposed sales.
Existing shareholders are expected to offer nearly 5.5% of NSE’s equity, with the final IPO size depending on shares offered and the discovered price.
