Coforge has allotted 93,796,508 equity shares (face value INR 2 each) at INR 1,815.91 per share to Encora Holdco Limited (36.9 million shares) and AI Altius Parent (Cayman) Limited (56.9 million shares) as consideration other than cash for acquiring Encora US Holdco, Inc. and Encora Holdings Limited. Total consideration is approximately INR 17,032.60 crore. The company also approved a USD 550 million secured loan facility from JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, HSBC, and BNP Paribas at 4.6% interest rate for 3 years to fund the acquisition. Post-allotment, paid-up capital increased from 33.59 million to 42.96 million shares. Two new non-executive directors from Advent Private Equity were also appointed.
Significant equity dilution of approximately 28% from this preferential allotment. The USD 550 million debt combined with share issuance increases financial leverage for the Encora acquisition. New board appointments from Advent PE may bring strategic oversight.
