New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI) Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd, formerly Max Bupa Health Insurance Company, on Monday said it has fixed a price band of Rs 70-74 per share for its Rs 2,200 crore initial share sale.
The Initial Public Offering (IPO) will open for public subscription on November 7 and conclude on November 11. The bidding for anchor investors will open for a day on November 6, the company announced.
The IPO is a combination of fresh issuance of equity shares worth Rs 800 crore and an offer for sale of up to Rs 1,400 crore by promoters. The company reduced the issue size as it was earlier looking to raise Rs 3,000 crore.
Under the OFS, Fettle Tone LLP will sell shares to the tune of Rs 1,050 crore and Bupa Singapore Holdings Pte Ltd will offload shares valued Rs 350 crore.
At present, Bupa Singapore Holdings Pte owns 62.19 per cent stake while Fettle Tone LLP holds 26.8 per cent stake in the insurance firm.
The company intends to utilise the net proceeds from the fresh issuance towards boosting its capital base to strengthen solvency levels and a portion will be used for general corporate purposes.
This will be the second standalone health insurer looking to float an IPO, after Star Health & Allied Insurance Company.
The company said that 75 per cent of the issue size has been reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 15 per cent for non-institutional buyers and the remaining 10 per cent for retail investors.
Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company is one of the leading standalone retail health insurers (SAHI) in India, with a Gross Direct Written Premium (GDPI) of Rs 5,499.43 crore in fiscal 2024.
The insurance firm's Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased by 37.68 per cent to Rs 5,607.57 crore in fiscal 2024 from Rs 4,073.03 crore in fiscal 2023. Further, profit surged to Rs 81.85 crore in fiscal 2024 from Rs 12.54 crore in fiscal 2023.
