CARE investors likely to partially exit through IPO

12 Nov 2012 Evaluate

A host of investors, including IDBI Bank, Canara Bank, SBI, IL&FS and Federal Bank, are set to partially exit from Credit Analysis & Research (CARE Ratings), since the rating agency is planning to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO). With this, the agency is aiming to provide a window for existing investors to part exit through the new offering.

The proposed issue would be the second-biggest IPO this year after the country's top commodity exchange MCX raised Rs 663 crore in February.  The company plans to divest a total of around 25% of the post-IPO equity capital which could be valued at approximately Rs 500-600 crore. IDBI, holding 26% stake, is the main promoter of the rating agency along with Canara Bank. The investors who are planning a partial exit are primarily CARE's early investors.

The rating firm has reported a compounded annual growth rate of 30% between 2007 and 2011. In the financial year 2011, the firm rated debt instruments worth Rs 3118,982 crore.

CARE Ratings commenced operations in 1993 and since then has grown to become the second largest rating agency after CRISIL (now a unit of S&P). Operating out of its office in Sion, Mumbai, it is the only fully domestic rating agency with no foreign holding.
