Bengaluru-based Prestige Hospitality Ventures Ltd. filed draft papers for its initial public offering worth up to Rs 2,700 crore on Thursday.
The offer will be a combination of a fresh issue of up to Rs 1,700 crore, and an additional stake sale by promoter Prestige Estates Projects Ltd., according to the draft red herring prospectus.
The company may consider a pre-IPO placement of up to Rs 340 crore prior to filing the red herring prospectus with the Registrar of Companies, Prestige Hospitality said.
Of the Rs 1,700 crore the company plans on raising from the fresh issue, around Rs 1,120 crore are proposed to be used for repayment and prepayment of certain outstanding borrowings of the company and its units Sai Chakra Hotels Pvt. and Northland Holding Co. The remaining amount will be used for inorganic growth and general corporate purposes.
The funds from the offer for sale will go to Prestige Estates, which, at the time of filing the DRHP, held 100% stake in the company.
Upon debuting on the stock exchanges, Prestige Hospitality will compete against listed peers Chalet Hotels Ltd., Ventive Hospitality Ltd., Juniper Hotels Ltd., Indian Hotels Co., EIH Ltd. and ITC Hotels Ltd.
JM Financial Ltd., CLSA India Pvt., J.P. Morgan India Pvt. and Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. are the lead bankers for the deal.
