Rolex Rings to Float Public Issue on Wednesday

Auto-components maker Rolex Rings Ltd on Monday said it has fixed a price band of Rs 880-900 a share for its Rs 731-crore initial share sale.

The three-day initial public offer (IPO) will open on July 28 and conclude on July 30. The bidding for anchor investors will open on July 27, the company announced in a virtual press conference.

Rolex Rings' IPO comprises a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 56 crore and an offer for sale of up to 75 lakh equity stocks by Rivendell PE LLC (formerly known as NSR-PE Mauritius LLC).

At the upper end of the price band, the IPO will fetch Rs 731 crore.

Proceeds from the fresh issue would be used towards funding long-term working capital requirements as well as general corporate purposes.

In addition, the auto component maker expects to receive the benefits of listing the equity shares on the stock exchanges, enhancement of its brand name among existing and potential customers, and the creation of a public market for its equity shares in India.

Half of the issue size has been reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), 35 per cent for retail investors, and the remaining 15 per cent for non-institutional investors.

The company said that bids can be made for a minimum of 16 equity shares and in multiples of 16 equity shares thereafter.

For the fiscal ended March 31, 2021, Rolex Rings reported a profit of Rs 86.95 crore as compared to Rs 52.94 crore in the preceding fiscal.

Its revenues from operations stood at Rs 616.33 crore in 2020-21 as against Rs 666 crore in the preceding financial year.

Equirus Capital Private Limited, IDBI Capital Markets & Securities Limited, and JM Financial Limited are the book running lead managers to the issue.

The equity shares of the company will be listed on the BSE and NSE.
