Senco Gold IPO

Jewellery retailer Senco Gold has filed the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) for its initial public offering (IPO) with the capital market regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The company intends to raise around Rs 525 crore through the IPO.

Senco Gold IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 325 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of equity shares aggregating to Rs 200 crore by shareholder SAIF Partners India IV Limited.

The company is also likely to consider a pre-IPO placement of equity shares of up to Rs 65 crore. In the case of such pre-IPO placement, the fresh issue size will be reduced.

According to Senco Gold IPO draft papers, the company proposes to utilise around Rs 240 crore of the net proceeds from the fresh issue towards funding working capital requirements and the remaining amount for general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the offer for sale will go to the selling shareholders.

Other details of the Sanco Gold IPO such as the IPO price band, number of equity shares, IPO period, and lot size have not yet been announced. 

As per the DRHP, the company has reserved 50% of the IPO size for qualified institutional buyers (QIB), 35% for retail individual investors (RII) and the remaining 15% has been reserved for non-institutional investors (NII).

SBI Capital Markets, IIFL Securities and Ambit have been selected as the book running lead managers (BRLM) for the Senco Gold IPO. 

After the Senco Gold IPO is complete, its shares are proposed to be listed on both the exchanges, BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

Recently, the company entered into a share subscription with Oman India Joint Investment Fund Trustee Company Private Limited, the trustee of Oman India Joint Investment Fund II for the issue and subscription of 26,63,541 Equity Shares for an aggregate consideration of Rs. 75 crore.
