Temasek-Backed Manipal Health to Line up $1-Billion IPO
The hospital chain plans to use proceeds to repay borrowings and invest in a subsidiary as existing investors sell 12.10 billion rupees in shares.
On Friday, Temasek-backed Manipal Health Enterprises announced its initial public offering will open for subscription on July 29, targeting a valuation of up to $8 billion.
Priced between 560 and 590 rupees per share, the offering aims to raise 92.75 billion rupees to repay debt and invest in subsidiaries.
Dilip Jose, managing director and CEO at Manipal Health Enterprises, announced plans to spend 40 billion rupees to increase bed capacity by over 18% in coming years.
With 48 hospitals across India, this transaction stands as the country's second-largest primary market offering this year, following SBI Funds Management's $1.03 billion issue earlier this month.
Anchor investors can submit bids by July 28, with public subscription for the offering open from July 29 to July 31.
