Last Updated: 16th September 2024 - 03:11 pm

Out of 29,006,785 shares on offer, anchors picked up 8,702,031 shares, demonstrating strong market confidence. The anchor allocation details were reported to the stock exchanges on 13th September 2024, just ahead of the IPO opening on 16th September 2024.
The book-built issue of ₹777.00 lakhs comprises a fresh issue of 1.9 lakh shares aggregating to ₹500.00 lakhs and an offer for sale of 1.05 lakh shares aggregating to ₹277.00 lakhs. The price band is set at ₹249 to ₹263 per share, with a face value of ₹10 per share. This includes a share premium of ₹253 per share at the upper end of the price band.
The anchor allocation process, which took place on 13th September 2024, saw strong participation from institutional investors. The entire anchor allocation was made at the upper end of the price band, ₹263 per share, indicating robust demand and confidence in the company's prospects.
After the anchor allocation, the overall allocation of the IPO looks as follows:
Category | Shares Offered | Allocation (%) |
Anchor Investor | 8,702,031 | 30.00% |
QIB | 5,801,354 | 20.00% |
NII (HNI) | 4,351,016 | 15.00% |
NII > ₹10L | 2,900,678 | 10.00% |
NII < ₹10L | 1,450,338 | 5.00% |
Retail | 10,152,384 | 35.00% |
Total | 29,006,785 | 100% |
Notably, the 8,702,031 shares allocated to anchor investors were reduced from the original Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) quota. As a result, the QIB quota has been reduced from 50% before the anchor allocation to 20% after the allocation. This adjustment ensures that the overall allocation to QIBs, including the anchor portion, remains within regulatory limits.
The lock-in period for anchor investors is an important aspect of the allocation. For the Northern Arc Capital Limited IPO, the lock-in details are as follows:
- Lock-in Period (50% Shares): 20th October 2024
- Lock-in Period (Remaining Shares): 19th December 2024
This lock-in period ensures that anchor investors maintain their investments for a specified duration, stabilising the stock price after listing.
