Paytm to lend Rs 743 crore to two Vijay Shekhar Sharma companies ahead of IPO
One97 Communication Ltd , parent company of online payments app Paytm is set to extend Rs 743 crore funding to two companies owned by founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma. This development comes ahead of the $3 billion IPO planned later this year. The proposal will be put to vote at the company's annual meeting on June 30.
According
to the proposal, as sent in a note to shareholders after Paytm board meeting on
May 28, the company will buy Rs 491.93 crore of optionally convertible
debentures to be sold by VSS Holdings Pvt Ltd, where Vijay Shekhar Sharma (VSS)
is a director. The debentures will mature in 10 years and bear an annual
interest rate of 15 per cent, as mentioned in a report in Livemint.
The
note, as per the daily, stated that the funding will be one in one or more
tranches. The payments company will own 96 per cent in VSS HoldCo on converting
the debentures into shares that can be done at any point.
VSS
HoldCo will utilise the funds for its primary business activities in the
country. VSS HoldCo is involved in activities related to financial
intermediation.
The
other loan, as proposed, is an amount of Rs 250.79 crore to VSS Investco Pvt
Ltd through inter-corporate deposits or ICDs. This is likely to be done in one
or more tranches.
In
the note to shareholders, VSS Investco will have to repay the amount within 12
months or before Paytm's IPO, stated the company. Sharma will raise external
funding or sell his shares in the company to repay the loan. This amount will
also be used for principal business activities.
Paytm is one of the leading players in the payment space in
the country. Due to the increase in demand for digital transactions amid the
pandemic, Paytm's valuation rose significantly to more than $25 billion in the
last 18 months. The company is aiming to launch its IPO in November this year.
The IPO might witness partial exit of existing investors including SoftBank.

Tamilnad Mercantile Bank plans IPO of up to Rs 1,200 crore this fiscal
Tamilnad Mercantile Bank
plans IPO of up to Rs 1,200 crore this fiscal
The Tamilnad Mercantile Bank (TMB), which will turn 100 this year, will come out with an initial public offering (IPO) of about Rs 1,000 crore to Rs 1,200 crore, said a top official of the bank.
The official also said that TMB logged an after tax profit of Rs 603.33 crore for the year ending March 31, 2021, as compared to Rs 407.69 crore reported in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.
The bank's total business for FY
2020-21 stood at Rs 72,511.45 crore (deposits Rs 40,970.42 crore, advances Rs
31,541.03 crore), up from Rs 65,061.21 crore (deposits Rs. 36,825.03 crore,
advances Rs. 28,236.18 crore) reported last fiscal.
Speaking to reporters of Business
Standard, K.V. Rama Moorthy, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
(CEO), said that there will also be an offer for sale of 5 per cent so that the
existing shareholders can dilute their holdings.
He said TMB will file the
necessary IPO papers with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in
8-10 weeks time.
"Overall, the post issue
dilution will be about 10 per cent," he said.
With a capital adequacy ratio
(CAR) of 18.94 per cent (Basel III norms), Moorthy agreed that TMB is not short
of capital and the IPO proceeds will be used in branch expansion and others.
The Tuticorin-based TMB currently
has about 509 branches and Moorthy said the target is to increase that to 650
by the next fiscal.
Though TMB doesn't have any
pending new branch licence, it plans to add 66 branches this year and the rest
in the next fiscal.
The bank has 1,132 automatic
teller machines (ATM), 47 e-lobbies and 260 cash recycler machines.
On the impact of Covid-19,
Moorthy said he is apprehensive about how it would pan out and there may not be
another countrywide lockdown.
With Covid-19 vaccination, the situation would improve and it is for the Central government and the RBI to decide on loan moratoriums for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME), Moorthy said.
