Preferential Allotment of Warrants
The AGM seeks approval for the issuance of 2.25 crore warrants convertible into equity shares at an issue price of ₹24.16 per warrant. The total issue size amounts to ₹54.36 crore. The proceeds are designated for working capital requirements (₹51.64 crore) and general corporate purposes (₹2.72 crore).
The allotment is proposed to promoter group entities Sweta Khemka and Uma Agro Exports Private Limited (25 lakh warrants each), along with various non-promoter investors. The issue price was determined based on the higher of the valuation report dated August 20, 2026, and the market-based floor price as on the relevant date of August 27, 2026.
| Allottee Category | Number of Warrants | Amount (₹ Crore) |
|---|---|---|
| Promoter Group | 50,00,000 | 12.08 |
| Non-Promoters | 1,75,00,000 | 42.28 |
| Total | 2,25,00,000 | 54.36 |
Warrant holders must pay 25% upfront and 75% upon exercise within 18 months. Failure to exercise results in forfeiture of the upfront amount.

- Mr. Rakesh Khemka: Re-appointed as Managing Director for five years from July 7, 2026, with a revised basic salary of ₹2,00,000 per month.
