Sanstar Ltd's board has approved raising ₹198.26 crore from Corn Products Development Inc., a US-based wholly-owned subsidiary of NYSE-listed Ingredion Incorporated, through a preferential issue of 1.80 crore equity shares at ₹110 per share. This represents 9% of the post-issue share capital on a fully diluted basis. The issue price is marginally above the SEBI-mandated floor price of ₹109 per share. The board also approved increasing authorized share capital from ₹38 crore to ₹50 crore, granting minority protection rights (including board nomination and pre-emptive rights) to the investor with a 10-year lock-in, and adopting amended articles of association. Additionally, Sanstar will acquire a 30% stake in a new joint venture, Spark Ingredients Private Limited, for ₹15 lakh to enter specialty pharmaceutical ingredients. An EGM is scheduled for June 20, 2026 to seek shareholder approvals.
This strategic investment from Ingredion, a global ingredients leader, brings significant capital and a marquee international partner. The issue at a premium to floor price signals confidence in the company's valuation. However, minority special rights and pre-emptive rights may marginally dilute promoter control.
