- Objects of the Issue:
- 75% (₹248.16 crore) for funding acquisitions of businesses in India and internationally across targeted growth sectors (Aerospace, Automotive, Defense, and other high-growth future-oriented sectors) either directly or through subsidiary entities for organic and inorganic growth, including repayment of acquisition debt.
- 25% (₹82.72 crore) for General Corporate Purposes (including transaction costs).
- Strategic Rationale for Acquisitions: The Company intends to diversify and expand its business footprint in high-growth sectors including Aerospace and Space Technologies, Automotive and Auto-Components, and Defence and Defence Manufacturing, leveraging initiatives such as "Make in India" and "Aatmanirbhar Bharat."
- Form of Acquisitions: May include direct equity acquisition, joint ventures, asset purchases (including intellectual property or manufacturing plants), or a combination thereof. The Board of Directors will evaluate and approve each opportunity.
- Rationale for Warrant Structure:
- Enables phased capital deployment aligned with actual needs over 12-18 months.
- Ensures commitment through upfront payment of 25% of issue price upon allotment.
- Provides regulatory efficiency under Chapter V of ICDR.
- Minimizes immediate EPS dilution.
- Rationale for Promoter Allotment:
- Provides speed and transaction certainty for time-sensitive acquisitions.
- Demonstrates promoter commitment and conviction in strategic direction.
- Creates governance accountability through co-investment.
- Avoids underwriting fees and placement commissions, making it cost-effective.
Proposed Schedule and Timeline for Utilization
- The Company proposes to utilize the issue proceeds within a period of three years from the date of receipt of funds.
- The entire Issue Proceeds with respect to the Warrants will be received within 18 months from the date of allotment, in accordance with Chapter V of the ICDR.
