Travel Food Services, which operates quick-service restaurants and lounge business across airports in India and Malaysia, on Wednesday fixed a price band of Rs 1,045 to Rs 1,100 per share for its Rs 2,000-crore initial public offering (IPO).
The initial share-sale opened for subscrioption today and will conclude on July 9.
The proposed IPO is entirely an offer-for-sale (OFS) of shares worth Rs 2,000 crore by promoter Kapur Family Trust. The offer includes reservations for subscriptions by eligible employees.
The Kapur Family Trust operates under the flagship brand K Hospitality, which oversees and invests in several hospitality and food service businesses, including Travel Food Services.
Since the IPO is entirely an OFS, the company will not receive any funds from the issue and the proceeds will go to the selling shareholder.
Travel Food Services launched its first travel quick-service restaurant (QSR) outlet in 2009. It is promoted by SSP Group plc (SSP) and its affiliates SSP Group Holdings Ltd, SSP Financing Ltd, SSP Asia Pacific Holdings Ltd along with the Kapur Family Trust, Varun Kapur and Karan Kapur.
