Olatech Solutions Ltd. has disclosed the forfeiture of unexercised warrants issued on a preferential basis to a non-promoter investor. The decision was approved by the Board of Directors during a meeting held on Tuesday, May 05, 2026. The warrants, which were allotted to Naved Iqbal, remained unexercised within the prescribed time period, leading to their forfeiture in accordance with SEBI regulations.
The warrants were originally issued under the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018. As per the terms of issue, at least 25% of the consideration was received upfront at the time of allotment. The balance consideration was required to be paid at the time of exercise of the option within a period not exceeding 18 months from the date of allotment. Failure to exercise the warrants within this stipulated period results in the forfeiture of the upfront amount paid, as per Regulation 159(2) of the ICDR Regulations.
Details of Forfeiture
The forfeiture involves 9,74,000 warrants, all of which were forfeited as they were not exercised. The issue price per warrant was ₹181, with an upfront payment of Rs. 4,40,73,500. The total amount forfeited is Rs. 4,40,73,500. The details of the forfeiture are outlined in the table below:
| Sr No | Name of Allottee | Category (Promoter/ Non-Promoter) | No. of Warrants Allotted | No. of Warrants Exercised | No. of Warrants Forfeited | Issue Price Per Warrant | Amount Paid Upfront | Total Amount Forfeited |

Impact and Key Notes
The forfeiture of these warrants will not result in any change to the paid-up share capital of the company, as the warrants were not converted into equity shares. However, the move will lead to a reduction in potential equity dilution. The Board meeting, during which this decision was made, commenced at 04:00 PM and concluded at 04:30 PM on May 05, 2026.
Olatech Solutions Ltd. has ensured compliance with all regulatory requirements, including Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
