Craftroot Retail Limited approved a preferential issue of 2 crore convertible warrants at ₹11 per warrant, aggregating to ₹22 crore. The board also sanctioned an increase in authorized share capital from ₹3.50 crore to ₹23.50 crore.

The meeting, held on October 6, 2026, saw the creation of an additional 2 crore equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each. This modification is subject to shareholder approval and regulatory clearance. The warrants are priced under Regulation 166A read with Regulation 164 of SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.

Allotment Structure and Investor Base

The preferential issue involves 13 allottees, categorized into promoter and public entities. Promoter group members, including Anar Patel, Dakshesh Shah, and Seher Retail Private Limited, will subscribe to 1.1793 crore warrants. Public body corporates such as Innovative Infraplus India Limited and Shitalnath Consultant Private Limited account for the remaining 82.07 lakh warrants.

Warrant Terms and Conversion Timeline

Each warrant carries the right to subscribe to one equity share upon conversion. The tenure for exercise is capped at 18 months from the date of allotment. Investors must pay 25% of the warrant price at the time of subscription, with the remaining 75% due upon exercise. Unexercised warrants after the 18-month period will lapse, and amounts paid will be forfeited by the company.

What the Numbers Show

The pricing of ₹11 per warrant represents a premium over the face value of ₹10 per equity share. With the authorized capital increasing to ₹23.50 crore, the company has created headroom significantly larger than the current issued capital implied by the pre-issue holdings. The promoter group's subscription of nearly 59% of the total warrants indicates a strong intent to maintain or consolidate control post-conversion, despite dilution from public investors entering the cap table.
