The firm might also evaluate a pre-IPO placement of as much as Rs 120 crore. If finalized, the pre-IPO placement will lessen the magnitude of the new issue. The firm has suggested to list its equity shares on the BSE and NSE.
EverBrands manages Subway in India through Culinary Brands India Pvt Ltd (CBIPL). It also oversees Lavazza Coffee and F&H Coffee and distributes Dilmah Tea in India through Fresh and Honest Cafe Pvt Ltd. The organization runs Subway locations using both company-owned, company-operated (COCO) and franchisee-owned, franchisee-operated (FOFO) models.
As per the DRHP, the company has designated Motilal Oswal, ICICI Securities, and Nuvama as book-running lead managers and MUFG as the issue's registrar. The firm intends to utilize Rs 125 crore from the IPO funds to settle its debts. An additional Rs 326.85 crore will be allocated for capital expenses to establish new Subway outlets in the COCO model, with the rest of the funds directed towards overall corporate needs.
