Equity Evolution: 3i Infotech’s Rights Issue Plan Sets the Stage for Transformation

3i Infotech Ltd is planning to pursue a new round of capital raising, with its Board to deliberate on raising funds through the issue of equity shares on a rights basis. This move reflects the company's commitment to improving its balance sheet and powering future growth programs.

Key Highlights:

Board Meeting on Rights Issue:
The Board of Directors is scheduled to meet shortly to consider and approve, if necessary, the raising of funds by issuing new equity shares to existing shareholders through a rights issue. This process enables current shareholders to acquire more shares, usually at a cheaper price, relative to their current holdings.

Shareholder-Focused Approach:
Rights issues are structured to compensate loyal shareholders with preferential rights to subscribe for new shares ahead of any public issue. Subscriptions can be made in full, part, or even waived in favor of others, which can be traded on the stock exchange over the rights issue period.

Purpose and Rationale:
The planned fundraising would justify the capital structure of the company, boost liquidity, and facilitate business expansion or debt consolidation. Recent restructuring through schemes of arrangement and capital restructuring have already set 3i Infotech up for business efficiency and competitiveness in the marketplace.

Market Background:
The move is made amidst a competitive environment in the IT services industry and follows recent capital restructuring, including share capital consolidation to reflect a fair financial status and enhance market liquidity.

Subsequent Steps
Information on the size, price, record date, and time line of the rights issue will be communicated after Board approval. Shareholders are requested to keep an eye out for formal intimations and look at the performance of the company before opting.

This rights issue drive reflects 3i Infotech's focus on shareholder value and long-term growth.
