Univastu India Limited’s board has approved the preferential issue of up to 18,39,339 fully convertible warrants at an issue price of ₹87 per warrant, aggregating to approximately ₹16,00,22,493. The issuance, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, aims to raise capital from promoters and non-promoter public category investors, with the relevant date for determining the floor price fixed as June 18, 2026.
The board approved the issuance during its meeting held on June 19, 2026. The warrants, carrying a right to subscribe to one equity share of ₹10 face value each, will be allotted to five investors. The allottees include Dr. Pradeep Khandagale and Mrs. Rajashri Khandagale from the promoters group, and Mr. Narender Bhagatkar, Major General (Dr.) Vijay Pawar, and Mr. Dhananjay Barve from the non-promoter public category.
Payment terms stipulate that 25% of the warrant price is payable at allotment, with the remaining 75% due upon the exercise of the option to subscribe to equity shares. The warrants have a tenor of 18 months from the date of allotment and are convertible in one or more tranches. The issue price includes a premium of ₹77 per warrant over the face value.
Post-allotment shareholding figures indicate a shift in ownership percentages. The promoters' group holding is expected to adjust to 65.37% from the current 67.46%, while the non-promoter public category investors will see their stake rise to 0.31% from 0.21%, assuming full conversion of the warrants.
To facilitate the approval process, the board has scheduled an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) on July 18, 2026, via video conference.
