SME IPO: Core4 Engineers, an engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) company, has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with BSE SME to raise funds via initial public offering (IPO).

According to the DRHP, the offer is entirely a fresh issue of up to 58,94,400 equity shares of face value of ₹ 10 each, with no offer-for-sale component. This means all proceeds will be received by the company.

The funds will also support additional working capital needs, general corporate purposes, and cover issue-related expenses.

Approximately 50% of the issue is allocated to the Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) segment, while 35% is earmarked for retail investors and the remaining 15% for Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs).

Socradamus Capital Private Limited has been appointed as the book-running lead manager to the issue, while Purva Sharegistry (India) Private Limited will serve as the registrar to the issue.
