Step Two Corporation's board approved the allotment of 31,47,500 equity shares at Rs. 15 per share (Rs. 10 face value + Rs. 5 premium) via preferential allotment on a private placement basis, raising approximately Rs. 4.72 crores. Shares were allotted to 5 investors: promoter Mr. Anuj Agarwal (13,00,000 shares worth Rs. 1.95 cr) and 4 non-promoter allottees from the Choudhary family/HUFs (4,60,000–4,62,500 shares each). Post-allotment, promoter Anuj Agarwal's stake rises sharply from 24.64% to 75.01% of expanded capital, while the Choudhary family entities collectively hold about 18.72%. The new shares will rank pari-passu with existing equity for dividends.
This is a significant promoter-led preferential issue that dramatically increases promoter holding from roughly a quarter to three-fourths of the company, leading to substantial dilution for existing public shareholders. The closely-held nature post-issue may reduce free float and liquidity in the stock.
