- Preferential Issue Size
- up to 24,00,000 shares at Rs. 34 each
- Issue Amount
- aggregating up to Rs. 8.16 crore
- Promoter Stake Sale
- 18,90,000 shares (24.30%) at Rs. 34 each for Rs. 6.43 crore
Two connected developments were approved or entered into on October 13, 2026: a preferential issue of shares by the company, and a share purchase agreement under which the promoter proposes to sell a large block to incoming acquirers.
What the board approved
- Issue and allotment of up to 24,00,000 equity shares at an issue price of Rs. 34 per equity share, for cash, aggregating up to Rs. 8.16 crore.
- Of this, 20,00,000 shares are proposed to be allotted to Omnia Appliances Private Limited; the remaining shares are proposed to be allotted to Anadi Investments Private Limited. Both are currently shown in the Public category.
- The issue is subject to the approval of the members and applicable regulatory authorities, and the board considered and approved the draft notice of a postal ballot for those resolutions.
- The board constituted a Preferential Issue Committee to take the necessary actions in connection with the issue and to finalise and approve the relevant documents.
The promoter's share sale
- Mr. Mehboob Alam, promoter of the company, has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement on October 13, 2026 with Omnia Appliances Private Limited, Graphic Promoters and Developers Private Limited, Amaira Estate Advisors LLP and MLJ Aeternum LLP, referred to as the Acquirers.
- Under the agreement, the Acquirers propose to acquire 18,90,000 equity shares, representing 24.30% of the present paid-up share capital, at Rs. 34 per equity share, for a total consideration of Rs. 6.43 crore.
- The stated purpose is acquisition of substantial shares and control over the company. Before this sale, Mr. Mehboob Alam holds 29.36% of the paid-up share capital.
- The update states the Acquirers have no relationship with the company as on the date of the agreement, and that the transaction does not fall within related party transactions.
Why the control angle is central
- Omnia Appliances Private Limited is currently in the Public category. After the proposed preferential issue and the SPA, it along with the other Acquirers is expected to hold a substantial stake and acquire joint control and management of the company.
- For this, they are required to make an Open Offer under SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011. On completion of the Open Offer formalities, they will form part of the Promoter & Promoter Group of the company.
- The company has also entered a Shareholders Subscription Agreement with Omnia Appliances Private Limited recording the terms of the preferential allotment of 20,00,000 equity shares to that Acquirer, and the update states there is no potential conflict of interest.
Points a retail investor may note
- The preferential allotment is proposed and conditional: it requires member approval through the postal ballot as well as applicable regulatory approvals before any shares are allotted.
- The SPA is a promoter-level transaction, where shares change hands between the promoter and the Acquirers.
- The change in promoter classification is described as taking effect after the Open Offer process is completed, so the sequence of steps matters.
How the news may be perceived
- A preferential issue at Rs. 34 per share bringing fresh cash into the company, alongside a promoter stake sale to incoming acquirers, may be read as a change-of-control event unfolding through an Open Offer.
