Torrent Investments to divest up to 2.9% stake in Torrent Pharma through block deals. The floor price set at ₹3,022.71 per share, with a deal value possibly reaching ₹3,000 crore.
Torrent Investments, a primary promoter of Torrent Pharmaceuticals, is set to sell up to 2.9% of its stake in the company via block deals. The sale floor price has been set at ₹3,022.71 per share, aiming to raise as much as ₹3,000 crore. This transaction will reduce Torrent Investments’ ownership in Torrent Pharma from its current 71.25% stake, as reported for the September quarter.
The block deal involves a base size of 2.4% of Torrent Pharma’s total equity, with an additional upsize option of 0.5%, bringing the potential sale up to 2.9%. The sale price of ₹3,022.71 per share represents the minimum price at which the transaction is likely to be executed. This floor price is designed to provide a pricing benchmark for prospective buyers, ensuring a structured valuation of Torrent Pharma shares throughout the transaction.
Torrent Investments has also agreed to a lock-up period of 120 days, during which it will refrain from selling additional shares. This lock-up term aims to stabilise the market following the sale, limiting further share dilution and providing assurance to investors regarding the promoter’s continued commitment.
The divestment could raise Torrent Investments an estimated ₹3,000 crore, depending on market reception and share uptake. For Torrent Pharma, the stake reduction may introduce more liquidity into its shares, potentially making the company’s stock more accessible to institutional and retail investors. However, this reduction in promoter holding may affect market perception, especially as the company navigates a competitive pharmaceutical landscape.
With Torrent Pharma’s share price currently trading near the floor price, the block deal is likely to create activity within the stock’s trading volumes. The sale by Torrent Investments could influence Torrent Pharma share price, as increased liquidity typically allows for more trading flexibility among investors. However, with a 120-day lock-up in place, investors may view this as a signal of the promoter’s intent to maintain a long-term interest in Torrent Pharma’s growth and stability.
In the long term, this block deal can serve as a strategic opportunity for Torrent Pharma to broaden its shareholder base and improve its market liquidity, potentially bolstering its position in the pharmaceutical sector.
