Board Approves Share Allotment

Avro India Limited's Board of Directors approved the allotment of 1,06,090 equity shares. These shares were issued at ₹127.25 each following the exercise of convertible warrants by non-promoter holders. The allotment has increased the company's total paid-up equity share capital from ₹13.31 crore to ₹13.42 crore.

Impact on Company Capital

The issuance of new shares expands the company's overall equity base. This move represents fresh capital infusion from warrant holders who chose to convert their instruments into company stock.

Challenges from Unpaid Warrants

Concurrently, Avro India reported that 4,24,361 warrants lapsed. This occurred due to the non-payment of the balance subscription amount by the warrant holders. As a result, the company has forfeited approximately ₹13.50 crore in upfront payments. These lapsed warrants and forfeited amounts indicate that some potential investors did not complete their subscription commitments.
