Additionally, the company allotted 2.49 lakh fully convertible warrants to promoter Deepak Suresh Chaudhari. Each warrant is convertible into one equity share at the same issue price of ₹2,002. The total value of the warrant issue is ₹49.99 crore. Chaudhari paid an upfront subscription amount of ₹12.49 crore, representing 25% of the issue price. The remaining 75% must be paid before conversion.
Capital Structure Impact
The new equity shares rank pari passu with existing shares. Before the allotment, the company’s paid-up equity capital stood at ₹15.71 crore, divided into 1,57,13,840 shares. Following the issuance, the paid-up capital on a fully diluted basis (assuming 100% warrant conversion) will rise to ₹17.33 crore, comprising 1,73,37,215 shares.
Promoter Chaudhari’s holding will adjust from 53.05% pre-issue to 49.53% post-issue on a fully diluted basis. The non-promoter institutional investors collectively hold approximately 7.92% of the expanded capital base.
SAST Disclosure Details
The September 16 disclosure provides a detailed breakdown of holdings before and after the acquisition. Prior to the transaction, Chaudhari held 83,36,975 shares, representing 53.05% of the voting capital. His Persons Acting in Concert (PAC) held 30,90,285 shares, or 19.67%. Together, the promoter group held 72.72% of the total share/voting capital.
Post-acquisition, Chaudhari’s direct shareholding remains unchanged at 83,36,975 shares, but his percentage holding drops to 48.09% on a diluted basis due to the new issuance. The PACs’ combined shareholding also sees a dilution, falling to 18.09%. Including the newly acquired warrants, Chaudhari’s total exposure (shares plus warrants) stands at 67.35% of the diluted voting capital.
Promoter Group Holdings
The disclosure lists several entities and individuals as part of the promoter group acting in concert with Chaudhari. Key PACs include Spectrum Fabricators India Pvt. Ltd., which holds 18,68,860 shares (10.78% post-acquisition), and Bharti Deepak Chaudhari, holding 7,04,775 shares (4.07%). Other PACs such as Yashoda Suresh Chaudhari, Sshadj Deepak Chaudhari, and Darshana Deepak Chaudhari currently hold zero shares but are listed as part of the concert party.
What the Numbers Show
The issuance structure reveals a distinct separation between immediate cash inflow and future dilution risk. While the non-promoter investors received immediate equity for their full investment, the promoter secured equivalent exposure through warrants with only a 25% upfront payment. This means the company has received only ₹12.49 crore from the promoter segment against a total valuation of ₹49.99 crore for that tranche, creating a contingent liability for the remaining balance upon conversion within the 18-month window.
