About the SAMHI Hotels IPO
The anchor issue of SAMHI Hotels IPO saw a relatively strong response on 13th September 2023 with 30% of the IPO size getting absorbed by the anchors. Out of the 10,87,38,095 shares (1,087.38 lakh shares approximately) on offer, the anchors picked up 4,89,32,143 shares (489.32 lakh shares approximately) accounting for 45% of the total IPO size. The anchor placement reporting was made to the BSE late on Tuesday, September 13th, 2023; a day ahead of the IPO opening. SAMHI Hotels IPO opens on 14th September 2023 in the price band of ₹119 to ₹126 and will close for subscription on 18th September 2023 (both days inclusive).
The entire anchor allocation was made at the upper price band of ₹126. This includes the face value of ₹1 per share plus a premium of ₹125 per share, taking the anchor allocation price to ₹126 per share. Let us focus on the anchor allotment portion ahead of the SAMHI Hotels Ltd IPO, which saw the anchor bidding opening and also closing on 13th September 2023. Before that, here is how the overall allocation will look.
QIB Shares Offered |
Not less than 75.00% of the Net offer |
NII (HNI) Shares Offered |
Not more than 15.00% of the Offer |
Retail Shares Offered |
Not more than 10.00% of the Offer |
The overall allocation to QIBs includes the anchor portion, so the anchor shares allotted will be deducted from the QIB quota for the purpose of the public issue.
Finer points of anchor allocation process
Before we go into the details of the actual anchor allotment, a quick word on the process of anchor placement. The anchor placement ahead of an IPO/FPO is different from a pre-IPO placement in that the anchor allocation has a lock-in period of just one month, although under the new rules, part of the anchor portion will be locked in for 3 months. It is just to give confidence to investors that the issue is backed by large established institutions.
However, the anchor investors cannot be allotted shares at a discount to the IPO price. This is explicitly stated in the SEBI revised regulations as under, “As per the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2018, as amended, in case the Offer Price discovered through book building process is higher than the Anchor Investor Allocation Price, then the Anchor investors will be required to pay the difference by the pay-in as specified in the revised CAN.
An anchor investor in an IPO is normally a qualified institutional buyer (QIB) like a foreign portfolio investor or mutual fund or insurance company or a sovereign fund which invests before the IPO is made available to the public as per SEBI regulations. Anchor portion is part of the public issue, so the IPO portion to the public (QIB portion) is reduced to that extent. As initial investors, these anchors make the IPO process more attractive for investors, and instil confidence in them. Anchor investors also largely aid in price discovery of the IPO
