New Delhi, Dec 5 (PTI) Pharma firm Corona Remedies, which is backed by private equity firm ChrysCapital, on Friday said it has mobilised Rs 195 crore from anchor investors, days before its initial share-sale opening for public subscription.

These funds have been garnered from 17 funds, including SBI Mutual Fund (MF), ICICI Prudential MF, HDFC MF, Kotak MF, Axis MF, Invesco MF, DSP MF, and SBI Life Insurance Company, according to a circular uploaded on the BSE website.

As per the circular, Corona Remedies has allotted 18.36 lakh shares to anchor investors at Rs 1,062 per share.

Under the OFS route, existing investors -- Sepia Investments, Anchor Partners, and Sage Investment Trust -- along with promoters -- plan to offload shares.


Since it's an OFS, the company will not receive any proceeds from the public issue and the entire amount will go to selling shareholders.
