Rs. 114.75 Cr Infusion: Penny Stock Finalizes Strategic Allotment To Non-Promoter Entity

Vishal Fabrics Ltd (VFL) based in Gujarat's Chiripal Group, has reported that an agreement has been made to issue 50,00,000 equity shares to Multitude Growth Funds, an investment company based in Mauritius, against a previously granted warrant of similar value on a conversion basis.

Vishal Fabrics received Rs 11.48 crore from the said conversion at an issue price of Rs 30.60 per warrant, which resulted in the loss of 75% of the balance considered of Rs 22.95 per warrant.

This increases VFL's equity participation in CTMPL from 37.72% to 42.36%, therefore further consolidating it as an associate company. The transaction was carried out at arm's length based on independent valuation. The acquisition also demonstrates intent to undertake operational consolidation and synergistic advantages with CTMP,L which had a turnover of Rs 530.55 crore in FY24.
