Impact on Prataap Snacks’ ownership

Once the acquisition is complete, Authum Investment will hold a 42.31% stake in Prataap Snacks. This move has triggered a mandatory open offer under SEBI regulations, where the acquirers plan to purchase an additional 26% of the company’s equity. This open offer involves 62.98 lakh equity shares at ₹864 per share, amounting to ₹544.17 crore.

Acquisition price details

The private equity stake acquisition is priced at ₹746 per share, which reflects a 30% discount from the recent closing price of Prataap Snacks on Thursday. However, the open offer price of ₹864 per share is still slightly lower than the recent market surge. Prataap Snacks’ stock price saw a 20% rise on Thursday, but despite this, the stock has underperformed in 2024, having declined by 4.5% so far.

Continuing as a listed entity

Following the acquisition, Prataap Snacks will continue to remain a publicly listed entity. The acquirers do not intend to de-list the company’s stock, as highlighted in exchange filings. Through his fund, Madhusudan Kela already holds a 2.8% stake in the company, along with other prominent public shareholders, including Malabar India Fund and Bandhan Mutual Fund.

This acquisition by Authum Investment and Mahi Madhusudan Kela represents a strategic move to enhance their portfolio by entering the snack industry. The transaction strengthens their influence in Prataap Snacks, while keeping the company publicly listed.
