After the anchor investor lock-in period ended today, Swiggy’s share price fell more than 5% in early trading on Wednesday. Swiggy’s gains from the previous session were erased when the company’s shares fell as high as 5.07% to 鈧�515.95 per on the BSE.
The one-month lock-in period for anchor investors concluded today, December 11, and Swiggy shares made their market debut on November 13. After a month of listing, anchor investors can sell half of their shares.
Consequently, up to 6.5 crore Swiggy shares, or 3% of the firm, were made available for trading following the lock-in expiration. On February 9, the remaining 50% of anchor investors’ shares will no longer be locked in.
Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that not all of the anchor investors’ shares will be sold after the lock-in period ends. They merely qualify to trade in the market.
