Brigade Enterprises shares gained over 3 percent on September 3 as the company launched Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), looking to raise Rs 1,500 crore. The company has set the floor price for the QIP at Rs 1,164.70 per share, a 5.7 percent discount from its previous closing price.
IIFL Securities and Kotak Mahindra Capital are reported to be the bankers of the issue. The proceeds from this placement will be used by the Bengaluru-based real estate developer for debt repayment and land acquisition.
A Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) is a way for companies to raise funds by issuing shares to qualified institutional investors like mutual funds and insurance companies.
It is a faster and often less costly method compared to other capital-raising options, with the share price set based on a floor price and regulatory guidelines.
