BofA Securities is the banker for the deal, and the price range for the sale has been set at Rs 555-601. The lower end of the price band is a 7.7% discount to Wednesday’s close price of Rs 601.45 on the National Stock Exchange.
As of September 30, SoftBank held a 17.45% stake in the fintech firm through SVF India Holdings (Cayman) post the sale on Thursday -- its stake is likely to fall to 12.9%, reports said.
SoftBank had invested $1.6 billion in Paytm and had sold a partial stake worth $220-250 million in the initial public offering last year.
SoftBank’s investment in the fintech major is under losses, as the stock has corrected more than 72% from its issue price of Rs 2,150.
Softbank is likely selling its stake as the one-year lock-in for existing investors ends.
