PRESS RELEASE
Aequs Board Approves ₹650 Crore Equity Infusion through
Warrants by Promoter Group; 50 per cent Payable Upfront
Proceeds to fund aerospace and consumer capacity expansion and support
Company’s borrowing program.
Belagavi, September 25, 2026: The Board of Directors of Aequs Limited (“Aequs” or
the “Company”), has approved the preferential issue of up to 2,80,71,690 warrants,
each convertible into one fully paid-up equity share of face value ₹10, to Mellwood
Trustee Services Private Limited (Trustee of the Melligeri Private Family Foundation)
(“Promoter”), a member of the Promoter Group, aggregating to approximately ₹650
crore. The issue is subject to the shareholders’ approval and such other statutory and
regulatory approvals as may be required.
Of the total issue size of approximately ₹650 crore, ₹325 crore will be payable upfront
upon allotment of the warrants, representing 50 per cent of the issue size, and twice
the regulatory minimum. The balance will be payable upon exercise of the warrants. In
accordance with applicable regulations, warrant may be exercised within 18 months
from the date of allotment. However, conversion of warrants into equity shares, by
making payment of balance consideration, shall take place on or before December 31,
2027. Promoter has undertaken to pay the balance consideration in full, irrespective of
the market price of the Company’s shares at the time of exercise. The Company has
received an investment commitment letter dated September 25, 2026, from Promoter
to this effect.
The issue price of ₹231.55 is the floor price determined under Regulation 164 of the
SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 — the higher of
the 90-trading-day and the 10-trading-day volume weighted average price of the
Company’s shares preceding the relevant date of September 22, 2026.
On full conversion of the warrants, the aggregate holding of the Promoter and
Promoter Group in the Company will increase from 59.09 per cent to 60.73 per cent.
The investment comes at an important point in Aequs’ growth journey, as the
Company advances multiple opportunities across its aerospace and consumer
businesses. These opportunities require investment ahead of the revenue and cash
they generate. The proceeds will fund capacity expansion across the aerospace and
consumer businesses, including the development of the Hosur facility, investment in
subsidiaries and joint ventures supporting that expansion, and general corporate
purposes. The equity will also provide the base against which the Company raises its
term borrowings for the expansion. The Board has assessed the Company’s current
equity requirement through FY28 and has decided to meet it through this issue. A
broader capital raise will be considered as and when required by the Company’s
growth plans.
The investment further aligns the Promoter Group's economic commitment with the
Company's long-term growth plans and capital requirements.
Aravind Melligeri, Executive Chairman & CEO, Aequs Limited, said: “We are
winning programmes faster than we had planned for, and those wins need investment
ahead of the revenue they bring. This issue gives Aequs committed capital to build that
capacity and the equity base to support the borrowing that goes with it. The Promoter
Group is subscribing at the price as per SEBI pricing formula and paying half of it upfront
— that is the measure of our confidence in what this business can deliver.”
An Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled on Thursday, October 22, 2026,
through video conferencing to seek shareholders’ approval. The detailed terms and
conditions of the proposed issue, along with other relevant disclosures, will be made
available to shareholders and filed with the stock exchanges in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations.
