Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Simplex Infrastructures is raising about Rs. 423.7 crore through a preferential equity allotment to Indorama India Private Limited, of which Rs. 105 crore is earmarked for working capital to execute existing orders worth around Rs. 1,700 crore, and Rs. 318.7 crore is for general corporate purposes. The company has 100+ years of experience in contract construction and has recently completed a financial restructuring, and is now looking to revive growth in infrastructure, power, housing, and industrial segments. The funds will be used within 24 months and parked in fixed deposits until deployed. The company clarified that certain earlier points in the EGM notice on fund utilization duration and valuation report applicability have been deleted or clarified.
This is a significant equity infusion that should strengthen the company's balance sheet and help it execute its existing order book of ~Rs. 1,700 crore. However, the issue is at a preferential price to a single investor (Indorama), which may lead to dilution for existing shareholders. The stock may react based on the issue price and the perceived strategic value of the new investor.
