Clio Infotech Ltd., a diversified financial and investment services company, has announced plans to raise ₹870 million through the issuance of convertible warrants on a preferential basis. The move signals a bold step toward strengthening its capital base and funding future growth initiatives, including potential acquisitions, technology upgrades, and expansion into new verticals.
The decision was approved during the company’s board meeting held on August 7, 2025, and disclosed to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) under Regulation 30 of SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements.
What Are Convertible Warrants?
Convertible warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to convert them into equity shares at a later date, typically at a predetermined price. This method of fundraising allows companies to secure capital upfront while offering investors a stake in future equity.
In Clio Infotech’s case, the warrants will be issued via private placement to select investors, subject to shareholder approval and compliance with the Companies Act, 2013.
Strategic Purpose Behind the Fundraising
According to the company’s filing, the ₹870 million infusion will be used to:
-
Strengthen working capital and liquidity
-
Support digital transformation and IT infrastructure upgrades
-
Explore inorganic growth opportunities, including strategic acquisitions
-
Expand service offerings in fintech, investment advisory, and data analytics
The company also plans to increase its authorized share capital and amend its Articles of Association to accommodate the new equity structure, which will be tabled in the upcoming board meeting once all documentation from proposed allottees is received.
