Besides, the ATM outsourcing and payments company, it plans to sell shares worth up to Rs 200 crore through pre-IPO placement.
The proceeds of the issue would be utilised towards repayment of loans and for general corporate purposes.
Currently, Goyal owns 55.2 per cent in AGS Transact, TPG holds 26 per cent stake and Oriole owns 16.44 per cent holding in the company.
The issue is being managed by Axis Capital, Citigroup Global Markets India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Securities and Kotak Mahindra Capital Company.
Earlier, AGS had filed initial papers with Sebi in 2010 to float an IPO. However, the company did not go ahead with the plan.
