The initial public offer (IPO) of India’s second largest asset management company, HDFC Asset Management Company Ltd (HDFC AMC), is getting opened for subscription from today, July 25. HDFC AMC is the 56.97% subsidiary of HDFC Limited, while HDFC’s JV partner Standard Life owns around 37.98% in the company. This IPO is a 100% offer for sale (OFS) of around 2.55 crore equity shares by these promoters.

The company has fixed its price band in the range of Rs. 1,095-1,100 a share and no discount has been offered to the retail investors. The offer would constitute 12.01% of the company’s post-offer paid-up equity share capital. The issue will remain open for the next three days to close on July 27.

Here are some of the salient features of this issue:

Size of the Issue – This IPO is a 100% offer for sale (OFS) of 2,54,57,555 shares by the JV partners, HDFC Limited and Standard Life. This makes it a Rs. 2,800 crore IPO at the upper end of the price band i.e. Rs. 1,100. HDFC Limited and Standard Life are selling 85,92,970 and 1,68,64,585 of their shares respectively in this IPO.

Retail Allocation – 35% of the issue has been reserved for the retail individual investors (RIIs), 15% for the non-institutional investors (NIIs) and the remaining 50% shares will be allocated to the qualified institutional buyers (QIBs).

No discount for Retail Investors or Employees – The company has decided not to offer any discount to any of its investors or to its employees either.

Bid Lot Size & Minimum Investment – Investors need to bid for a minimum of 13 shares in this offer and in multiples of 13 shares thereafter.
