Equitas Small Finance Bank (SFB) will list on bourses on November 2, 2020. Equitas SFB, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Equitas Holdings, has fixed the issue price at Rs 33 per share.
The company's Rs 518 crore initial public offering which was open between October 20, 2020, and October 22, 2020, saw a muted response and was subscribed 1.95 times. The quota reserved for the qualified institutional buyer (QIB) was subscribed 3.91 times. The quota set aside for retail investors was subscribed 2.08 times. The offer included a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 280 crore and an offer for sale of 7,20,00,000 shares by the parent company (Equitas Holding).
Following a tepid and muted response to the public issue and the weak market conditions, it seems that the shares of the small finance bank will not list at a premium.
