Investment Details

Cupid Ltd. has agreed to invest ₹331 crore in Baazar Style Retail Ltd. through the subscription of convertible warrants. This strategic capital infusion was approved by Baazar Style Retail's board following an expression of interest from Cupid. The company will raise the funds by issuing 1,01,00,000 equity warrants to Cupid on a preferential basis.

The warrants are priced at ₹328.25 each, representing a slight discount of 2% to Baazar Style Retail's closing price on Tuesday. This funding is crucial for Baazar Style Retail as it navigates market dynamics and aims for growth.

Terms of Warrant Conversion

Each warrant grants Cupid the right to convert it into an equivalent number of equity shares. This conversion can occur in one or more tranches within a 18-month period from the warrant allotment date. Failure to exercise the warrants within this timeframe will result in their lapse, with 25% of the total consideration paid being forfeited.

Post-conversion, Cupid, which previously held no stake, will own 11.92% of Baazar Style Retail. Cupid Ltd. is primarily known for manufacturing and supplying sexual health and personal care products, including condoms.
