Reader Takeaway: Inorganic growth via acquisition; promoter stake dilution.

What just happened

The company approved the issuance of 17 crore shares at an issue price of Rs 21.93 per share. This allotment was made to ConnectM Technology Solutions INC. (16 crore shares) and AstraBridge Inc (1 crore shares). The acquisition of GIX involves acquiring 21,25,00,000 GIX shares.

Why this matters
