Gitanjali in talks to raise $100 mn

29 Dec 2010 Evaluate

Gitanjali Gems Ltd. (GGL), the Mumbai-based leading branded jewellery manufacturer and retailer, has planned a “restructured jewellery brand holding company” where it will divest 10 per cent of equity to private equity (PE) investors, to raise $100 million. It is in talks with global PE investors Blackstone and CX Partners to do so.

KPMG, the global consultancy firm, is currently working on restructuring the company. This proposed entity will be restructured as a holding company under the parent company, GGL. In a separate valuation prepared by these PE players, the holding company is valued at close to Rs 5,000 crore, three times the current market capitalization of Rs 1,600 crore of the entire group.

The company intends to issue fresh shares to PE players, thereby divesting its minimum stake between four to five per cent. Later, if need arises, additional equity will be divested with the new valuation. According to the due diligence, around Rs 50 crore will go to the GGL account, while the remaining Rs 400 crore will be re-invested in the company for working capital and inventory buildup.crackcrack
