Comrade Appliances informed BSE that 9,00,000 convertible warrants issued on a preferential basis in August 2024 have been forfeited because the holders failed to convert them into equity shares within the 18-month window. The warrants were issued at Rs. 109 each to 4 allottees, with 25% upfront payment already collected. Only 50,000 warrants held by Mehboob Alam were converted into equity shares; the remaining 9,00,000 warrants held by the Managing Director Khursheed Alam (1,00,000), Zyana Stocks and Commodities (4,00,000) and Ritik Ganeriwala (4,00,000) have lapsed. As a result, roughly Rs. 2.45 crore of upfront money paid on these warrants stands forfeited by the company and will be retained as income.
The forfeiture means no further equity dilution from these warrants, which is mildly positive for existing shareholders, but the non-conversion — including by the Managing Director himself — signals weak confidence in the stock at the issue price of Rs. 109. The forfeited amount provides a small one-time boost to the company's reserves.
