As per the proposal, on allotment of equity shares, TIIL will get a 50.62% stake in CG Power and after conversion of the warrants, the holding will increase it to 56.61%. CG Power, meanwhile, has convened an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on September 2 for seeking shareholders’ approval for the preferential allotment of shares.
These warrants will be converted into equivalent number of equity shares at the option of TIIL within 18 months from the date of allotment. Of the total investment in warrants, 25% will be paid upfront at the time of subscription.
TIIL operational, financial and governance capabilities will help remove the present difficulties and hardships of CG Power. Since both the companies are in the engineering business, the acquisition is expected to provide synergy. The deal is expected to be completed within 120 days, TIIL said.
