Titagarh Wagons plans to raise $288 million through preferential allotment.
Titagarh Wagons declared its intention to fund $288.8 crore by issuing preferred shares to Smallcap World Fund Inc. The company’s board of directors authorised this strategic action, which intends to improve its financial condition.
The proposal calls for the issue of 76 lahks preferentially offered equity shares with a face value of 2 apiece. According to the regulatory requirements established in the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issuance of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, the shares would be priced at Rs. 380 per share, above the floor price of Rs. 347.68 per share.
“The funds will be raised through the issuance of up to 76,00,000 Equity Shares with a face value of Rs. 2/- each to SMALLCAP WORLD FUND INC on a preferential basis,” Titagarh Wagons stated in a regulatory filing. The shares would be offered at Rs. 380/- per share, above the Chapter V of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issuance of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018’s floor price of Rs. 347.68 per share. The maximum amount that must be raised is Rs. 288,80,000.
This strategy must still have the blessing of legislative and administrative bodies, as well as the company’s shareholders at the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM). Additionally, the required authorizations, penalties, and statutory approvals must be secured.
