Former Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma, along with Tilak Verma, is among the proposed allottees in the preferential share issue by SME company Swaraj Suiting. The list also includes Kolkata Knight Riders coach Abhishek Mohan Nayar and Shreya Iyer's father, Santosh Vekanteshwaran Iyer.
Each of the cricketers is set to receive 11,000 shares as part of the preferential share allotment. A total of 198 people are among the proposed allottees.
According to an exchange filing dated November 25, Swaraj Suiting's board approved the issuance of 43.76 lakh shares of the company on a preferential basis at the issue price of ₹236 apiece to raise ₹103.28 crore.
Additionally, the board also approved a fundraise via convertible warrants at a price of ₹236 per share to raise ₹160.41 crore. These warrants can be converted into an equal number of equity shares in the future and will be allotted to the promoter group and other identified investors, again pending necessary approvals.
Beyond its fundraising plans, the company has sought shareholder approval for several financial resolutions. These include authorisation to extend loans or provide guarantees of up to ₹75 crore to entities in which its directors may have an interest.
Swaraj Suiting has also proposed increasing its borrowing limit to ₹1,000 crore, allowing it to surpass the existing cap linked to paid-up capital and free reserves.
Lastly, the board has cleared a proposal to raise the limit for creating charges or mortgages on the company’s assets to ₹1,000 crore.
The board will convene an extraordinary general meeting of the members of the company on December 24 to seek their approval for the preferential issue, along with these other proposals.
