Impact Assessment

Dilution: The issuance of 10,00,000 new equity shares dilutes the existing shareholding structure. Existing shareholders should account for the increased share count when evaluating per-share metrics.

Lock-in: All newly listed shares are locked in until August 30, 2026, restricting their tradability and limiting immediate selling pressure from the allottees.

Price Reference: At the issue price of Rs. 360/-, the total capital raised amounts to Rs. 36,00,00,000 (Rs. 36 crore), reflecting the premium paid by non-promoter allottees for warrant conversion.

Market Impact: Low short-term market impact given the lock-in. Post lock-in expiry (August 30, 2026), potential increase in floating supply should be monitored.

Impact Justification

Routine preferential allotment listing notice involving 10 lakh new equity shares issued to non-promoters via warrant conversion, with a lock-in period. Causes share capital dilution for existing shareholders but is a standard corporate action.
