Aequs approves ₹650-crore promoter warrant infusion for expansion
Aequs plans to raise money from its promoter group, which is its main shareholder group.
The company will issue special instruments called warrants.
These warrants could bring in about ₹650 crore.
Half of the money, ₹325 crore, must be paid at the start.
The rest will be paid if the warrants are changed into shares.
The warrants can be converted into shares within 18 months.
If all are converted, the promoter group’s ownership will rise from 59.09% to 60.73%.
Aequs says the money will help expand its aerospace and consumer businesses and support borrowing.
Aequs’s board approved a preferential issue of up to 28.07 million warrants to promoter-group trustee Mellwood Trustee Services.
The warrants will raise approximately ₹650 crore, with ₹325 crore payable upfront and the remainder upon exercise.
Each warrant can be converted into one fully paid-up equity share with a face value of ₹10.
Warrants may be exercised within 18 months, with conversion into shares due by December 31, 2027.
Full conversion would raise promoter and promoter-group ownership to 60.73% from 59.09%, funding aerospace and consumer capacity expansion.
