US private equity firm Bain Capital is reportedly all set to sell half of its holding in Hero MotoCorp, worth up to $393 million. Bain will offload 4.29% stake in the Delhi-based company, by selling 8.57 million shares through an accelerated book building offering. The stake will be sold through open market transactions on Friday and Citibank is the banker to the deal.

Bain has been an investor in Hero MotoCorp for about three and half years. As of March 31, 2014, Bain held 17.14 million shares in Hero MotoCorp - a stake of 8.58%.
