Lancer Container Lines has received in-principle approval from BSE to issue 10,28,69,409 equity shares (about 10.29 crore shares) on a preferential basis to non-promoters. Each share has a face value of Rs. 5 and will be allotted at a price not less than Rs. 19.77 per share, implying a total issue size of around Rs. 203 crore at the floor price. Crucially, this is a share swap arrangement, meaning the company is not receiving cash but is issuing shares in exchange for another asset or entity. The shares will be subject to SEBI lock-in rules applicable to preferential allotments.
This is a non-cash preferential issue that will dilute existing shareholders by issuing new equity to non-promoters. Investors should watch for further disclosures on what the company is acquiring through this share swap, as the nature of the acquired asset will determine whether this is value-accretive or purely dilutive.
