FTSE to raise weightage of Adani Wilmar post OFS

Following Adani Wilmar’s offer for sale by its promoter, FTSE is expected to increase its weight in the index in its rejig today, that could lead to $25 million of passive inflows, Nuvama Research said.

This would translate into 7.8 million shares or 1.7 days of trading impact, it said, adding that such events are more volume driven rather than solely price focused.

Adani Wilmar’s promoter entity was offering up to 20 per cent of its equity, including a base offer of 13.5 per cent and an option to exercise oversubscription up to 6.5 per cent.

In a filing to the exchanges the company said it would be exercising its oversubscription option to the extent of 1.5 per cent of the paid-up equity, effectively translating into 15 per cent in the aggregate.
