Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd.'s share price fell by 6.24% after shareholders rejected a proposal to raise Rs 2,237 crore through the issuance of warrants to promoters.
The resolution failed as the number of votes in favor was less than three times the number of votes against it, with 59.5% in support and 40.5% in opposition.
Most warrants were intended for issuance to a Mauritian promoter, including ousted board member Punit Goenka, with Sunbright Mauritius Investments Ltd. and Altilis Technologies Pvt. being the sources of funds.
Approval of the proposal would have led to Sunbright subscribing to over 99% of the warrants, potentially acquiring a 14.92% stake in the company.
