Half of the issue is reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 35 per cent for retail investors and 15 per cent for non-institutional bidders.
Mumbai-based Laxmi Organics is a leading manufacturer of acetyl intermediates and specialty Intermediates.
Net proceeds from the issue will be utilised for setting up a manufacturing facility for fluorospecialty chemicals, working capital requirements, purchase of plant and machinery and upgrading existing units.
In addition, funds would be used for prepayment or repayment of all or a portion of certain outstanding, besides general corporate purposes.
Laxmi Organic’s plans to go to market took steam after the recent success and fundraising by specialty chemical companies — Rossari Biotech and Chemcon Specialty Chemicals — which were subscribed almost 80 times and 149 times, respectively.
The company has global presence with customers in over 30 countries including China, the Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, the UK and the US.
Axis Capital and DAM Capital Advisors have been appointed as the book running lead managers to the issue.
