Change
Shriram Finance's board approved issuing 47.11 crore equity shares at ₹840.93 apiece to MUFG Bank via a preferential private placement to raise Rs 39,617 crore for a 20% fully diluted stake, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
Why it matters
The board approved a preferential issue of 47.11 crore equity shares at ₹840.93 each to MUFG Bank, totaling Rs 39,617 crore. The issuance represents a 20% stake on a fully diluted basis and will be executed via a private placement route. MUFG will be classified as a public shareholder after completion. The company has called an extraordinary general meeting on January 14, 2026 for shareholder approval and the transaction requires regulatory clearances, including from the Reserve Bank of India and the Competition Commission of India. The board approved granting minority protection rights to MUFG, including up to two board nominations, and a one-time $200 million non-compete/non-solicitation fee will be paid by MUFG to Shriram Ownership Trust.
Implications
- — Shareholder approval at the EGM is required before the preferential issue can be executed.
