Sharp Investments is proceeding with a massive preferential issue of 27.51 crore equity shares via a share swap, effectively doubling its share capital from 24.21 crore to 51.72 crore shares. The issue price is set at Re. 1 per share, which is significantly higher than the current market price of Rs 0.40 and the 90-day VWAP of Rs 0.39, as regulations prohibit issuance below face value. This move will lead to a sharp dilution of promoter holding from 19.38% to just 9.07%. Seven non-promoter corporate entities will emerge as major shareholders, collectively holding over 54% of the post-issue capital.

• Issuance of 27,51,51,600 new equity shares through a preferential share swap arrangement.
