Rita Finance and Leasing Limited, a BSE-listed NBFC, signed a Memorandum of Understanding on February 13, 2026, to acquire a 45% equity stake in Aaquaria Fincart Private Limited, a Mumbai-based firm in debt syndication and financial advisory. The deal will be executed primarily through a share swap or preferential allotment, with no cash consideration currently planned. Rita Finance proposes to issue its shares at a minimum price of ₹23 each (₹10 face value plus ₹13 premium), subject to valuation and regulatory approvals. The move is aimed at expanding Rita Finance's presence in advisory, loan distribution, and debt syndication businesses. The MOU is non-binding and valid for three months, pending board, shareholder, SEBI, RBI, and ROC approvals, due diligence, and execution of definitive agreements.
If completed, this acquisition would broaden Rita Finance's business into higher-value financial services like debt syndication and advisory. However, since the MOU is non-binding and subject to multiple approvals, it is only an early-stage announcement with no immediate impact on financials or shareholder value.
