Impact Assessment
High Impact on Debenture Holders:
The revision represents a material change in the security structure and risk profile:
Reduced Minimum Holding: The decrease from 51% to 26% minimum shareholding requirement significantly reduces the margin of safety for maintaining controlling stakeholder commitment
Change in Sponsor: Transition from Indium IV to PG Lotus Pte. Ltd represents a complete change in the sponsor group, affecting the comfort level and recourse available to debenture holders
Capital Structure Changes: Rs. 600 Crore capital infusion may dilute existing shareholders and alter the company’s leverage profile
Release of Comfort Letter: Exit of Indium and release from its letter of comfort obligations removes a layer of security previously available to creditors
Management Changes: Changes in directors and management control may affect operational continuity and strategic direction
Flexibility for IPO: The revised covenant allows for shareholding changes due to Initial Public Offer, indicating potential listing plans that could further alter the capital structure
Debenture holders should carefully evaluate these changes in the context of their risk appetite and consider seeking legal counsel regarding their rights under the revised covenant structure.
Impact Justification
