SafetyinNumbers Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I’m a bit rusty on where Digit is marked on Fairfax’s books. i think most of the value is being marked on the convertible preferred despite most of the ownership being through the common equity.

Hoodlum Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Fairfax has GO digit listed as 49% ownership in their shareholders letter. But it looks like Fairfax was able to covert their debt to shares in advance of the IPO. IRDA did fine them yesterday ~$120k for non-disclosure of a change to how they were converted but it looks like it went through. This was likely the last step before going ahead with the IPO. I still don’t see what Fairfax ownership will look like after the IPO but they will likely have majority ownership as this was a key component of the IPO for Fairfax. I would expect that Fairfax will issue a press release after the IPO announcing their new ownership share of Go Digit along with the impact on Book Value. https://www.indiainfoline.com/news/business/irdai-penalizes-go-digit-insurance-with-1-crore-for-non-disclosure-of-ccps-change Edited May 8 by Hoodlum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrifty3000 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Back of the envelope: In the annual report it looks to me like FFH is valuing/carrying their Digit holdings at around $2.2 to $2.3 billion. If FFH owns 58% of Digit after the IPO and if Digit’s market cap is around $4.5 billion then the IPO will increase FFH’s BV per share by around $15 pre-tax.

That's right, they are carrying the 49% (pre-IPO percentage) equity at $152.2 million USD and they are carrying the compulsory convertible pref. shares at approximately $2.092 Billion. If completely converted (regulatory approval needed), this would result in Fairfax owning 68% of Digit (pre-IPO percentage). It looks like the IPO will dilute them slightly and they may choose to sell a few shares in the IPO - I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartmonkey Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Can someone explain to me how 49% of the equity is only worth $152m (carrying value)? Or only worth $476m ('fair value', according to the Q1 report.) It clearly can't be that $2.092b worth of preferreds will only convert to an addition 19% of the equity. Explain it to me like I'm an 8-year old.

Haryana Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Rs.1500cr is total out of which Rs.1250cr is fresh and Rs.250cr is existing equity from promoters. They are saying that count of existing equity offered for sale is ~11cr shares, thus ~Rs.23/share. While Virat and Anuskha paid Rs.75 for each share. Is there a disconnect here? https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/news/go-digit-insurance-ipo-virat-kohli-anushka-sharma-backed-rs-1500-issue-opening-soon-et-now-exclusive/ar-BB1m18KQ Did early promoters get the shares at a lower price and that is the mark on which IPO is valued?

smed Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 10 hours ago, Haryana said: Rs.1500cr is total out of which Rs.1250cr is fresh and Rs.250cr is existing equity from promoters. They are saying that count of existing equity offered for sale is ~11cr shares, thus ~Rs.23/share. The price is not known yet. Each share is nominal Rs 10, and the Rs 1250cr is the nominal amount of the maximum fresh share capital. Ie. *up to* 1,250m new shares on offer and up to 109m existing shares on offer. Presumably, the price band will be public tomorrow (India time). Actual ipo price next week.

Hoodlum Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Some more details of the IPO price range. This would suggest they are raising ~$310M US, if my calculation is correct. Not sure how this translates to total valuation of Go Digit. https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/ipo/go-digit-ipo-price-band-likely-to-be-rs-258-272-per-share-total-issue-size-may-be-around-rs-2600-cr-12718739.html/amp The price band of the public offer is expected to be around Rs 258-272 per share and the company is likely to raise Rs 2,538 crore at the lower end of the price band and Rs 2,614 crore at the upper band, sources aware of the matter told Moneycontrol on the condition of anonymity.
