PC Jeweller has allotted 7.90 crore equity shares (face value ₹1) on conversion of 79.04 lakh Fully Convertible Warrants, at an issue price of ₹5.62 per share (including ₹4.62 premium). The company received the balance 75% amount of about ₹33.32 crore from the allottees, bringing the total per-warrant value to ₹56.20. The allottees are Unico Global Opportunities Fund Limited (7.89 crore shares) and Arpan Modani (1.18 lakh shares), both from the non-promoter public category. Post-allotment, the paid-up share capital rose from ₹856.96 crore to ₹864.86 crore. Promoter holding has marginally dipped from 41.10% to 40.72%, while public holding rose from 58.90% to 59.28%.
This is a pre-announced warrant conversion, so dilution was largely expected by the market. Existing shareholders face a small (~0.4%) dilution, while the company strengthens its equity base by ~₹33 crore. No fresh fundraising beyond the already-committed warrant terms, so impact on stock price is likely neutral to mildly negative due to expanded share count.
