Cash-strapped Fortis Healthcare, which is in the process of finding a new investor, said its board will meet on July 13 to consider raising funds through issue of securities on a preferential allotment basis.
The company had received binding bids from Malaysia’s IHH Healthcare and Manipal-TPG combine on July 3.
In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, the company said its board would meet on July 13 “to consider, and if thought fit approve raising funds through issue of securities on a preferential allotment basis.” The company, however, did not disclose the quantum.
