Manappuram Finance shares drop 2% after RBI gives nod for Rs 4,385 crore Bain Capital deal

Shares of Manappuram Finance dipped as much as 2.2% to their day's low of Rs 264 on the BSE on Thursday after the company said that its subsidiaries, Asirvad Micro Finance and Manappuram Home Finance, have received approvals from the Reserve Bank of India for indirect change in control and management of the respective companies by Bain Capital.

This marks the final set of approvals for the Manappuram-Bain Capital deal amounting to Rs 4,385 crore. Having now received all requisite statutory approvals, the company and Bain Capital will aim to complete the capital infusion in the company by March 31, 2026.

Following the investment and completion of subscription to the open offer, Bain Capital will hold between 18% and 41.66% stake in the company on a fully diluted basis, including shares arising from warrant conversions. The existing promoters will hold 28.9% on a fully diluted basis. After completion of the transaction and the open offer, Bain Capital will be reclassified as a promoter and will jointly control the company along with the existing promoters.


The respective boards of Manappuram and its subsidiaries will be reconstituted and will include Bain Capital’s nominee directors, in line with the definitive agreements.

The global private investment firm last month received RBI approval for acquiring up to 41.66% in Manappuram and joint control of the company. The acquisition is being done through Bain's affiliates BC Asia Investments XXV Ltd and BC Asia Investments XIV Ltd.
