The shareholders of SpiceJet have granted their approval for the capital-raising plan through the issuance of equity shares and warrants, according to a regulatory filing made after the company’s annual general meeting (AGM) on January 10. The shareholders voted in favor of the “allocation of equity shares on a preferential basis” and the “allocation of warrants with the option to apply for and receive an equivalent number of equity shares on a preferential basis,” as stated in the official exchange filing.
Prior to the AGM, it was reported that the struggling airline intended to secure consent from its stakeholders to raise funds for its expansion and rejuvenation, but the filing did not specify the targeted fundraising amount for which shareholders have given their approval.
In the preceding month, the airline’s board had already approved a proposal to raise Rs 2,250 crore by issuing up to 130 million convertible warrants and 320.8 million fresh equity shares at an issue price of Rs 50 each.
