What is the NEWS:
Shadowfax came into focus after existing shareholders Flipkart, Eight Road Investments, and IMM India Fund decided to sell shares through a block deal on July 24. The transaction was initially expected to involve a 9.08 percent stake, but the offer size was later increased to 14.20 percent of the company’s equity, taking the total deal value to around Rs. 1,640–1,650 crore. The shares are being offered at a floor price of Rs. 197 per share, which represents a discount of up to 9.87 percent, or roughly 10 percent , compared with the previous closing market price.
Another key factor behind the market’s attention is that the lock-in period for 45 percent of Shadowfax’s outstanding shares expired today, allowing eligible investors to sell their holdings. While a significant portion of shares is being offered through the block deal, the remaining stake held by the selling shareholders will continue to be subject to a 90-day lock-in period, limiting further immediate sales.
Kotak Securities and Morgan Stanley have been appointed as the bankers managing the transaction. Such large institutional block deals are closely tracked by investors as they can influence near-term stock liquidity and market sentiment, even though they do not alter the company’s underlying business fundamentals.
