Monitoring Agency Observations and Key Flags
CARE Ratings Limited confirmed that all utilisation is as per the disclosures in the offer document, with no material deviations observed and no change in the means of finance. However, the Monitoring Agency flagged two notable observations:
- Share Price vs. Warrant Conversion Price: The share price has fallen below the warrant conversion price as per the offer document, which may hinder warrant conversion.
- Credit Rating: The company is rated CARE D; INC by CARE Ratings, indicating ongoing delays in debt servicing obligations.
All government and statutory approvals, including in-principal approval, listing approval, and trading approval, have been obtained. The Monitoring Agency's report is supported by a Chartered Accountant certificate from Binayak Dey & Co., dated April 30, 2026.
Deviation or Variation Statement
In accordance with Regulation 32 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, Simplex Infrastructures has also filed a Statement on Deviation or Variation (Annexure-B). The statement confirms that there is no deviation or variation in the use of funds raised through the preferential issue. The Audit Committee has reviewed the statement and offered no comments, and the auditors have similarly raised no comments. The filing was signed by B.L. Bajoria, Senior Vice President and Company Secretary, on May 08, 2026, from Kolkata.
