Nuvoco Vistas informed the exchanges that its wholly-owned subsidiary Vadraj Cement has allotted 30,000 unsecured, unlisted compulsorily convertible debentures (CCDs) of face value Rs 1,00,000 each, raising a total of Rs 300 crore. The CCDs, split into three series of 10,000 each (B1, B2, B3), were issued via preferential allotment on a private placement basis to 4 investor groups including Alpha Alternatives Financial Services, Third Edge Advisors LLP, Trust Investment Advisors, and Ncube Ventures LLP. Each CCD will convert into 2,604 equity shares of Vadraj (face value Rs 10), and the conversion is automatic upon the earlier of Vadraj filing a red herring prospectus for an IPO or 7 years from allotment. Since this is at the subsidiary level, it does not directly raise capital for the listed entity Nuvoco Vistas.
This fundraising positions Vadraj Cement for a potential future IPO and brings in marquee private investors, which could be value-accretive for Nuvoco shareholders if Vadraj lists separately. However, post-conversion of CCDs, Nuvoco's stake in Vadraj will get diluted, and the instrument is unlisted with no disclosed coupon, so there is no immediate cash or interest inflow for Nuvoco.
