Details of the IPO

Now, coming to the main part of this upcoming IPO, here are some of the key details regarding the public issue from Mankind Pharma.

The entire IPO from the pharmaceutical company is an offer for sale (OFS) from the company’s promoters and selling shareholders. Through this public issue, the investors are looking to sell approximately 4 crores (4,00,58,844) of equity shares. The company does not plan on issuing any fresh equity shares as part of this IPO.

Since the financials of Mankind Pharma are strong, the company has allocated around 35% of the issue to retail investors. Out of the remaining 65%, 50% would be reserved for Qualified Institutional Buyers and the remaining 15% would be exclusively for Non-Institutional Investors.

The issue opening date of the Mankind Pharma IPO has also been notified by the company as April 25, 2023. After remaining open for about three full days, the issue will close on April 27, 2023. The IPO price band has also been notified, which is between Rs. 1,026 to Rs. 1,080 per equity share.

With the face value of the shares being just Rs. 1, the company is seeking a hefty premium. Since the IPO price band is on the higher side, the company has chosen to keep the lot size reasonable at just 13 shares.

The total proceeds from the sale of 4,00,58,844 equity shares at the given price band should provide the promoters of the company with around Rs. 4,326.36 crores.

Objects of the Offer

Seeing as the company isn’t issuing any new shares as part of this upcoming IPO, the entire proceeds from it would go to the promoters and selling shareholders. The only objectives of this public issue are -

To carry out the offer for the sale of 4,00,58,844 equity shares
To get the benefit of listing the equity shares of the company on the exchanges

Conclusion

Going by the financials of the company, the upcoming Mankind Pharma IPO looks very attractive. However, the IPO price band is slightly on the higher side. It remains to be seen if the investors also see it that way or would rather give the public issue their wholehearted support by ensuring full subscription. Analyzing the Grey Market Premium (GMP) once the issue opens for subscription should give us a clearer picture.
