AUDROC Limited allotted 7.5 crore fully convertible equity warrants at ₹4 each to two non-promoter investors, Manjulaben Bharatbhai Patel and Patel Sureshkumar R, on August 18, 2026. This fifth tranche issuance requires 25% upfront payment, with the balance due upon conversion within 18 months. The move does not immediately alter the paid-up capital but positions the investors for significant equity stakes if converted.

AUDROC Limited (formerly Alka India Limited) has completed the allotment of 7.5 crore fully convertible equity warrants on a preferential basis to two non-promoter investors. The Board of Directors approved the allotment during its meeting held on August 18, 2026, pursuant to a special resolution passed by members on June 27, 2026.
The warrants were issued at an issue price of ₹4 per warrant, which includes a premium of ₹3. This issuance constitutes the fifth tranche of the preferential allotment, following in-principle approval from the BSE on August 7, 2026.
Allotment Details
The warrants were allotted equally between two non-promoter investors: Manjulaben Bharatbhai Patel and Patel Sureshkumar R. Each investor received 3.75 crore warrants.
| Allottee Name | Category | Warrants Issued |
|---|---|---|
| Manjulaben Bharatbhai Patel | Non-Promoter | 3,75,00,000 |
| Patel Sureshkumar R | Non-Promoter | 3,75,00,000 |
Conversion Terms and Payment Structure
Each warrant is convertible into an equivalent number of fully paid-up equity shares with a face value of Re. 1 each. The conversion option can be exercised within a maximum period of 18 months from the date of allotment.
Under the payment terms mandated by SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018:
- The company has received 25% of the warrant issue price upfront along with the application.
- The remaining 75% is payable by the allottees upon exercise of the conversion option.
As only warrants have been allotted and not equity shares, there is currently no change in the company’s paid-up share capital. The post-issue shareholding pattern, assuming full conversion of the total 20 crore warrants authorized under the scheme, would see each of these two investors holding approximately 18.16% of the equity share capital.
The number of equity shares allotted upon exercise will be subject to appropriate adjustments as permitted under applicable rules and regulations.
How might the potential 18.16% equity stake per investor impact the existing promoter control and corporate governance structure upon full conversion?
What strategic rationale drives AUDROC Limited to utilize fully convertible warrants instead of direct equity issuance for this fifth tranche of funding?
Given the low issue price of ₹4, what are the likely implications for existing shareholders regarding dilution and earnings per share (EPS) once conversion occurs?
