Punit Goenka is aiming to regain his board position at Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. through a Rs 2,237 crore fundraise, which will allow him board representation.
The fundraise involves Sunbright Mauritius Investments Ltd. subscribing to over 99% of the warrants issue, resulting in a 14.92% stake in the company upon conversion, granting board representation to Goenka.
The promoter-led funding initiative will increase the overall promoter holding in Zee from 3.99% to 18.39%, with plans to raise Rs 2,237 crore via convertible warrants to strengthen the company's financial foundation and explore new growth opportunities.
Proxy firms have raised concerns about excessive dilution and lack of transparency in fund utilization, recommending shareholders to seek enhanced disclosures regarding the funds' purpose and source.
