Ace Software Exports has issued a first call notice for ₹30.25 per share on 54.71 lakh partly paid-up rights equity shares. The company fixed Wednesday, August 26, 2026 as the record date for determining eligible shareholders.

The board approved the call amount at its meeting on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. This payment represents the second tranche of capital collection from the rights issue launched in November 2025.

Call Money Details

The total issue size of the rights equity shares is up to ₹6,018.21 lakh. Shareholders had previously paid ₹49.50 per share as application money. The remaining balance of ₹60.50 per share was payable in subsequent calls.

Trading in the partly paid-up shares (ISIN: IN9849B01026) was suspended effective Tuesday, August 25, 2026. New partly paid-up shares with a paid-up value of ₹7.25 will trade under a new ISIN within two weeks of the last payment date.

Payment Timeline and Modes

Shareholders must pay the first call money between Wednesday, September 2, 2026 and Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The company accepts payments through online or physical ASBA, 3-in-1 trading accounts, or cheques/demand drafts.

Late payments attract interest at 10% per annum. Failure to pay renders the shares liable for forfeiture under the Companies Act, 2013.

What the Numbers Show

The first call of ₹30.25 constitutes exactly half of the remaining balance due (₹60.50) per rights share. This structured repayment plan allows shareholders to settle the outstanding liability in two equal tranches after the initial application money.
