About the Jupiter Life Line Hospitals IPO

The anchor issue of Jupiter Life Line Hospitals IPO saw a relatively strong response on 05th September 2023 with 30% of the IPO size getting absorbed by the anchors. Out of the 1,18,24,163 shares (118.24 lakh shares approximately) on offer, the anchors picked up 35,47,247 shares (35.47 lakh shares approximately) accounting for 30% of the total IPO size. The anchor placement reporting was made to the BSE late on Monday, 05th September 2023; a day ahead of the IPO opening. The IPO of Jupiter Life Line Hospitals Ltd opens on 06th September 2023 in the price band of ₹695 to ₹735 and will close for subscription on 08th September 2023 (both days inclusive).

The entire anchor allocation was made at the upper price band of ₹735. This includes the face value of ₹10 per share plus a premium of ₹725 per share, taking the anchor allocation price to ₹735 per share. Let us focus on the anchor allotment portion ahead of the Jupiter Life Line Hospitals Ltd IPO, which saw the anchor bidding opening and also closing on 05th September 2023. Before that, here is how the overall allocation will look.

QIB Shares Offered

Not more than 50.00% of the Net offer

NII (HNI) Shares Offered

Not less than 15.00% of the Offer

Retail Shares Offered

Not less than 35.00% of the Offer

The overall allocation to QIBs includes the anchor portion, so the anchor shares allotted will be deducted from the QIB quota for the purpose of the public issue.

Finer points of anchor allocation process

Before we go into the details of the actual anchor allotment, a quick word on the process of anchor placement. The anchor placement ahead of an IPO/FPO is different from a pre-IPO placement in that the anchor allocation has a lock-in period of just one month, although under the new rules, part of the anchor portion will be locked in for 3 months. It is just to give confidence to investors that the issue is backed by large established institutions.

However, the anchor investors cannot be allotted shares at a discount to the IPO price. This is explicitly stated in the SEBI revised regulations as under, “As per the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2018, as amended, in case the Offer Price discovered through book building process is higher than the Anchor Investor Allocation Price, then the Anchor investors will be required to pay the difference by the pay-in as specified in the revised CAN.

An anchor investor in an IPO is normally a qualified institutional buyer (QIB) like a foreign portfolio investor or mutual fund or insurance company or a sovereign fund which invests before the IPO is made available to the public as per SEBI regulations. Anchor portion is part of the public issue, so the IPO portion to the public (QIB portion) is reduced to that extent. As initial investors, these anchors make the IPO process more attractive for investors, and instil confidence in them. Anchor investors also largely aid in price discovery of the IPO

While the GMP has surged to a robust level of ₹218, it shows an attractive premium of 29.66% on listing.
