Magma Fincorp is planning to pare its shareholding in insurance venture Magma HDI by selling stake to ICICI Venture, Morgan Stanley PE, a Poonawalla Group firm and other entities in a Rs 525 crore-deal. Magma HDI is a joint venture between Magma Fincorp and Germany's HDI Global SE. Since early February, Adar Poonawalla-controlled Rising Sun Holdings -- an arm of Poonawalla Finance -- owns 60 percent in Magma Fincorp.
The present deal involves ICICI Venture, Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia and Cyza Chem -- a Poonawalla Group company -- and two family offices as new shareholders bringing in Rs 525 crore. Out of the total amount, Rs 250 crore will be primary capital. The deal will also enable Magma Fincorp and its group companies to bring down its direct shareholding in the insurance venture to 50 percent as per RBI guidelines. Magma Fincorp sold 9.9 percent stake in Magma HDI to Serum Institute of India, a Poonawalla Group firm, in March 2019. Now, Magma owns 66.79 percent stake in the insurance venture and HDI has 26 percent.
Magma Fincorp is a non-deposit taking NBFC registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as an asset finance company. It started operations two decades back and is now listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE).
