Bulk of the minority shareholders, however, continue to hold the shares of IDBI Bank indicating their faith in the new management, they said.
Existing shareholders feel value of their shares going up substantially in the future following management takeover by LIC, the sources added. The open offer for 2,04,15,12,929 shares was made last month at a price of Rs 61.73 a share.
LIC had already increased its holding beyond 44 percent before the open option. In August, the Cabinet approved the acquisition of controlling stake by LIC as a promoter in the bank through combination of preferential allotment and open offer of equity.
