Kati Patang Lifestyle Expands Holdings Through Share Swaps
Kati Patang Lifestyle Limited's board has approved allotting new shares to acquire full ownership of Agnetta International Private Limited and a larger stake in Empyrean Spirits Private Limited (ESPL).
The company will issue 1,458,333 shares at ₹24 each to acquire Agnetta International for ₹3.5 crore. It will also issue 277,760 shares at ₹24 each to gain an additional 1.43% stake in ESPL for ₹0.67 crore.
Strategic Expansion and Capital Growth
These transactions represent a key move for Kati Patang Lifestyle, granting it complete control over Agnetta International and reinforcing its position in its unlisted subsidiary, ESPL. The use of share swaps means these acquisitions happen without an immediate cash outlay, preserving working capital while growing the company's assets and ownership consolidation.
