Religare Enterprises shares surge as 3.5M shares allotted via warrant conversion
Why did Religare Enterprises Ltd shares fall today?
Religare Enterprises Ltd shares were trading at ₹256.35, down 0.21%, as of Thursday at 12:42 PM. The minor decline in the stock price followed a corporate announcement made earlier in the day. The company informed the stock exchanges that its Board committee had approved the allotment of 35 lakh (3.5 million) new equity shares.
This allotment was done for Puran Associates Private Limited, which is part of the company's promoter group. The shares were issued following the conversion of warrants. The new shares have a face value of ₹10 each and were issued at a premium of ₹225 per share. For this conversion, the allottee paid 75% of the total consideration upfront, amounting to ₹61.69 crore.
Such an allotment of new shares increases the total number of shares outstanding for the company. This can lead to a dilution in the ownership percentage of existing shareholders, which is a common reason for a stock to face selling pressure in the short term. The market reacted to this news of share dilution, contributing to the marginal dip in the share price.
