QIB Portion
Let us first talk about the pre-IPO anchor placement. On 18th January, AGS Transact Technologies Ltd did an anchor placement of 1,16,57,141 shares at the upper end of the price band of Rs.175 to a total of 17 anchor investors raising Rs.204 crore, representing 30% of the total issue size.
The list of QIB anchors included a number of marquee international names like Ashoka Equity, Kuber Fund, BNP Arbitrage, Saint India Fund and Tara Emerging Asia. Domestic investors in the anchor placement included HDFC Mutual Fund, Nippon India Fund, Abakkus Fund, IIFL Special Opportunities Fund and Quant Mutual Fund.
The QIB portion (net of anchor allocation as explained above) has a quota of 81.93 lakh shares of which it has got bids for 219.43 lakh shares at the close of Day-3, implying 2.68 times subscription for QIBs at the close of Day-3. However, QIB bids typically got bunched on the last day but the strong response in the anchor placement had already showed that there is institutional appetite for the IPO.
HNI / NII Portion
The HNI portion got subscribed 25.61 times (getting applications for 1,573.83 lakh shares against the quota of 61.45 lakh shares). This is a relatively good response at the close of Day-3 because most of the response has come from HNI individuals and corporates. However, this segment normally sees the maximum response bunched on the last day and that was the case this time around too. Bulk of the funded applications and corporate applications, come in on the last day of the IPO only.
