Paramount Communications' board has approved a preferential issue of up to 2,19,97,664 equity shares at Rs. 42 per share (aggregating ~Rs. 92.39 crore) to 10 non-promoter investors including Abakkus Diversified Alpha Fund, Singularity Equity Fund, and others. Additionally, the board approved issuance of up to 72,00,000 fully convertible warrants at Rs. 42 each (aggregating ~Rs. 30.24 crore) to promoters Sanjay Aggarwal and Sandeep Aggarwal. The issue price of Rs. 42 is marginally above the SEBI-mandated floor price of Rs. 41.68 (a premium of ~0.8%). The warrants are convertible within 18 months, with 25% payable upfront and 75% on exercise. Post-allotment, promoter holding will dilute from 49.14% to ~47.01% (fully diluted). Shareholder approval via EGM is scheduled for June 6, 2026. Ms. Rashi Goel has also been appointed as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.
The equity dilution (~7.2% on expanded capital) and warrants conversion (~2.3% additional) will increase share count, potentially weighing on near-term stock price. However, the issuance at a premium to floor price signals institutional confidence, and promoter participation via warrants demonstrates alignment with public shareholders.
