AI summary

Prime Focus board approved a USD 100 million investment by Multiples Private Equity into two material AI subsidiaries, Brahma AI Holdings and Brahma AI Services India, via compulsorily convertible preference shares. Target round is USD 150 million with USD 150 million more demand indicated globally. Post deal, PFL's voting rights in BHL drop from 89.27% to 24.99%, though economic interest stays at 65.67%. BHL and Brahma India will become associates, not subsidiaries. Subject to shareholder approval.

Likely market impact

Loss of control over AI subsidiaries. Voting rights drop to 24.99% but economic interest retained at 65.67%. Needs shareholder nod.
