₹206 crore from anchor investors on July 25, a day ahead of its IPO subscription opening for bidding. Yatharth Hospital's initial public offering (IPO) will open for subscription on Wednesday, July 26, and close on Friday, July 28. The company had fixed the price band at ₹285 to ₹300 per equity share for the proposed initial public offer.
The company has allotted 68.65 lakh equity shares to 18 funds at ₹300 apiece, which is also the upper end of the price band. Big names among anchor investors include SBI Life Insurance Company, Goldman Sachs (Singapore), Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, Max Life Insurance Company, HDFC MF and BNP Paribas Arbitrage. The company intends to raise ₹677-687 crore from the issue.
It will use the funds to repay debt, fund capital expenditure expenses, fund acquisitions and other strategic initiatives and for general corporate purposes. Bids can be made for a minimum of 50 equity shares and in multiples of 50 equity shares thereafter. Yatharth Hospital has already raised ₹120 crore through a private placement (pre-IPO placement) of 40 lakh equity shares at a price of ₹300 each.
