Kirloskar Electric Company Limited issued a corrigendum to its 79th Annual General Meeting (AGM) notice on August 04, 2026, clarifying the utilization of proceeds from a proposed preferential equity issue. The company corrected its earlier disclosure to specify that ₹14,99,99,927.38 of the total ₹39,99,99,927.38 raise is exclusively earmarked for funding working capital requirements, with no portion allocated for general corporate purposes. This clarification ensures compliance with SEBI regulations and provides shareholders with precise details on capital deployment ahead of the AGM scheduled for August 13, 2026.
The correction modifies the explanatory statement for Item No. 8 of the AGM notice, which concerns the preferential allotment of 34,68,007 equity shares at ₹115.34 per share to Kirloskar Power Equipments Limited, a promoter group entity. Previously, the notice indicated that the remaining funds after debt repayment would support both working capital and general corporate purposes. The updated disclosure explicitly states that the allocation towards general corporate purposes is nil. This adjustment aligns the proposal with the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.
Revised Fund Utilization Plan
The proceeds from the preferential issue will be utilized as follows:
| Purpose | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Repayment/prepayment of borrowings (subject to lender consent) | 25,00,00,000.00 |
| Funding working capital requirements | 14,99,99,927.38 |
| General corporate purposes | Nil |
| Total | ₹39,99,99,927.38 |
The repayment of borrowings is contingent upon obtaining necessary consents from the company’s consortium lenders. Post-allotment, Kirloskar Power Equipments Limited’s stake in Kirloskar Electric will increase from 1.73% to 6.60%.
