According to these reports, the deal would involve Manappuram's promoter group, led by managing director and CEO V.P. Nandakumar, selling a substantial portion of its 35.25% holding to Bain Capital.
The media reports suggest that if the deal materializes, Bain Capital may subsequently launch a voluntary open offer to acquire an additional 26% stake in Manappuram Finance.
