Retail and ecommerce enablement SaaS firm Unicommerce has secured Rs 124.5 crore from its anchor investors, a day ahead of its IPO.

Of the total allocation of 1.15 crore equity shares priced at Rs 108 each for anchor investors, the firm has allocated a 75.75% portion (87.29 lakh equity shares) to eight domestic mutual funds through a total of 10 different schemes.

According to the filings, SBI Mutual Fund, Morgan Stanley, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, HDFC Mutual Fund, Nippon Mutual Fund, and Kotak Mahindra Trustee have each bought 12.96 lakh equity shares worth Rs 14 crore.

The Prudential Assurance Company, Franklin India Technology Fund, Aditya Birla Sun Life Trustee, DSP Multicap Fund, and High Conviction Fund each acquired 7.49 lakh shares worth Rs 8.09 crore. 

The Snapdeal-backed startup's IPO will be available for subscription from August 6 until August 8.

Unicommerce’s IPO will not introduce any new shares but will consist entirely of an offer-for-sale (OFS) of 2.56 crore equity shares. As part of the OFS, AceVector Ltd (formerly Snapdeal Ltd) will sell up to 94.38 lakh equity shares, while SoftBank will offer up to 1.61 crore equity shares.
