Pakka Limited's Board approved issuance of secured non-convertible debentures (NCDs) worth INR 540 crores via private placement. The issuance comprises two series: junior secured NCDs of INR 324 crores (coupon 19.40% p.a., maturing May 2035) and senior secured NCDs of INR 216 crores (coupon 11.40% p.a., maturing September 2033). Both series are unlisted, unrated, and redeemable. The company also approved creation of security over its immovable assets, movable fixed assets, current assets, and insurance contracts in favour of a Security Trustee. Additionally, the Board approved voluntary withdrawal of the company's existing CARE ratings (BBB- long term and A3 short term), as the NCD issuance is intended to refinance existing term loan facilities. This forms part of the company's broader financial restructuring and capital management strategy.
The INR 540 crore debt issuance will increase Pakka's liabilities significantly. The high coupon rates (especially 19.40% for junior series) suggest elevated borrowing costs, likely reflecting the company's credit profile. Refinancing existing debt and withdrawing ratings indicates a strategic shift in capital structure, which could impact future financial flexibility and shareholder value.
