Lloyds Metals and Energy's board approved the conversion of 1,52,68,950 convertible warrants into equity shares at Rs. 740 per share (Rs. 1 face value + Rs. 739 premium), bringing in approximately Rs. 734.44 crore from the balance 65% subscription amount. Five allottees participated — two promoters (Lloyds Enterprises Limited and Sky United LLP) converting all of their warrants, and three non-promoters (Elysian Wealth Fund, Senthilnathan R, and Kalpana Sathishkumaran). After this allotment, the company's paid-up equity capital rises to Rs. 54.44 crore divided into 54,43,59,038 shares, up from 52,90,90,088 shares. Separately, 5,87,818 shares were allotted under the ESOP 2017 plan at Rs. 4 per share, and 1,60,000 new stock options were granted under the ESOP 2024 scheme.
The conversion is positive for shareholders as it brings Rs. 734+ crore of confirmed capital into the company and signals strong promoter confidence, with the promoter group fully converting their warrants. However, there is modest equity dilution of around 1.53 crore shares, and the high issue price of Rs. 740 reflects the capital raise happened at a much higher valuation in 2024.
