At the time of filing DRHP in December 2019, promoter Equitas Holdings held 95.49 percent stake in Equitas Small Finance Bank.
Equitas Small Finance Bank, the
subsidiary of Equitas Holdings, may be launching its public issue on October
20, people familiar with IPO development told Moneycontrol. If it happens, it
would be 12th IPO this year.
The company in consultation with
merchant bankers might have fixed a price band at Rs 34-35 per share and the
closing date for issue could be October 22, sources told Moneycontrol.
As per the additional information
to its DRHP filed with Sebi last month, the public issue consists of a fresh
issue of 8 crore equity shares and an offer for sale of 7.2 crore equity
shares.

Considering the upper price band,
the total issue size could be Rs 532 crore (fresh issue of Rs 280 crore and
offer for sale of Rs 252 crore).
The offer includes a reservation
of up to Rs 1 crore worth of shares for eligible employees of Equitas Small
Finance Bank and Rs 51 crore of shares for Equitas Holdings' shareholders.
The proposed issue size, as per
DRHP, included a fresh issue of Rs 550 crore and an offer for sale of 8 crore
equity shares by Equitas Holdings, but later in view of the relaxation
permitted by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the issue size reduced
to Rs 280 crore (fresh issue) and 7.2 crore shares (offer for sale by
promoter).
Accordingly, the reservation
portion of Equitas Holdings shareholders has also been revised from up to Rs
100 crore to up to Rs 51 crore and the employee reservation portion of Equitas
Small Finance Bank has been revised from up to Rs 5 crore to up to Rs 1 crore.
