In its red herring prospectus, the Hyderabad-headquartered company said it plans to raise INR58 crore through the sale of new shares. In addition, existing investors including private equity player Zephyr Peacock plan to part-exit by selling 55.16 lakh shares through an offer for sale (OFS). The issue will be managed by Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Private Limited, Axis Capital Limited and Karvy Investor Services Limited.
Use of funds
Majority of the proceeds will be used towards pre-payment of loans availed by the company while the rest will go towards infrastructure including software and hardware and general corporate purposes. Pennar Engineered Building Systems plans to spend INR34 crore in debt repayment of working capital facilities while infrastructure spend for expansion of design and engineered services is estimated at INR8 crore. This leaves INR16 crore for general corporate purposes.
