Promoter's stake in the company

Tega's maiden public offer is entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of 13.7 m equity shares by its existing shareholders and promoters.

Currently, promoter and promoter group hold 85.17% stake in the company and Wagner owns 14.54% shareholding. Post issue, the promoter group will hold only 79.17% share of the company.

Promoters Madan Mohan Mohanka and Manish Mohanka will offload a part of their stake via the OFS, and Wagner, an affiliate of PE firm TA Associates, will exit the company through the share sale.

Category-wise reserved portion

Half of the issue size has been reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), while 35% of it is reserved for retail investors.

The remaining 15% of the shares is reserved for non-institutional buyers.

Investors can bid for a minimum of 33 equity shares and in multiples of 33 shares thereafter. Retail investors can make a minimum investment of Rs 14,949 per lot.

Objects of the issue

Since the offer does not have any fresh issue, the entire proceeds from the IPO will go the selling shareholders. Thus, the company will not receive any money from the issue.

However, the offer will help the company to achieve the benefits of listing the equity shares on the stock exchanges.
