Insurtech unicorn Go Digit General Insurance has refiled its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its $440 Mn initial public offering (IPO). The move comes after SEBI put Go Digit’s proposed IPO in abeyance in September 2022 over concerns around the issuance of stock appreciation rights to its employees. In the latest filing, Go Digit has addressed SEBI’s concerns by amending and changing its erstwhile Go Digit – Employee Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, 2018 to ESOP 2018. Go Digit offers insurance policies across verticals like health, motor vehicle, travel, property, and more. Its IPO comprises a fresh issue of shares worth INR 1,250 Cr and an offer for sale (OFS) of 109.45 Mn shares.
