Kalindee Rail to issue up to 25% stake to Texmaco to avoid Jupiter Metal’s open offer

15 Jul 2013 Evaluate

In a bid to avert rival Jupiter Metal’s plans to acquire a 30% stake in Kalindee Rail via conditional open offer, the Gurgaon-based railway infrastructure company has decided to issue 24.90% equity by way of preferential allotment of equity shares to rail wagon maker Texmaco Rail & Engineering.

Kalindee Rail’s board of directors, at their meeting held on July 13, approved the issue of preferential allotment of 41.10 lakh equity shares at Rs 65 a share or higher as per the norms laid down by the capital market regulator.

Jupiter Metal had made an open offer to acquire 3.72 million equity shares of Rs 10 each, constituting 30% of the paid-up capital of Kalindee Rail Nirman (Engineers) at price of Rs 65 per share. At present, about 38,000 individual shareholders control 63.75% stake in the company, while promoters are holding 15.6% stake in the company. However, Jupiter Metal does not hold any stake in Kalindee Rail. Incidentally, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)’s takeover guidelines allows a company to launch an open offer without holding any shares via voluntary open offer.

Kalindee Rail Nirman popularly known as “KALINDEE”, stands as the forerunner in the execution of the major Railway Signaling & Telecommunication projects in India. Dedicated and sincere work has earned it a good reputation. In Railways, KALINDEE is now a trusted name for successful & timely execution of works with highest level of quality with state of the art technology.
