5paisa Capital Revises GDPL Acquisition Details, Clarifies Promoter Role
5paisa Capital is acquiring 100% of Giskard Datatech Private Limited for up to ₹121.57 crore cash and a 1:31 share swap ratio. The company clarified that promoters will not acquire GDPL shares directly. The acquisition aims to enhance digital capabilities and research. Completion is expected within six months, subject to approvals.
The acquisition of Giskard Datatech Private Limited is a strategic move to enhance 5paisa Capital's digital capabilities and research offerings, which could have a medium-term impact on its competitive positioning and customer engagement. The clarification of the acquisition structure is also material.
The announcement is a clarification of a previous disclosure, correcting an inadvertent error. While the acquisition itself is a significant corporate action, the revision aims to provide accuracy rather than introducing new positive or negative developments.
5paisa Capital Limited has issued a revision to its earlier intimation regarding the outcome of its Board Meeting held on July 28, 2026. The company clarified an inadvertent inclusion in the previous disclosure, stating that the proposed acquisition of Giskard Datatech Private Limited (GDPL) will be undertaken by 5paisa Capital itself, not by its promoters directly acquiring shares from GDPL's existing shareholders.
The acquisition of 100% of GDPL's equity share capital will be through a combination of cash and share swap. 5paisa will acquire up to 1,03,082 shares (58.68% of diluted equity) for a cash consideration not exceeding ₹121.57 crore and up to 66,148 shares (37.65% of diluted equity) through a preferential issue of 5paisa shares in a 1:31 swap ratio. This transaction aims to strengthen 5paisa's digital investment ecosystem and research capabilities by integrating GDPL's data-driven technology solutions.
The Board also approved a preferential issue of 20,50,588 equity shares for consideration other than cash, in lieu of acquiring GDPL shares. A postal ballot process will be initiated to seek shareholder approval for this preferential issue. The acquisition is expected to be completed within six months, subject to regulatory approvals, including from SEBI, as GDPL holds a Research Analyst registration. The last three years' turnover for Giskard was ₹7.66 crore (FY23), ₹12.07 crore (FY24), and ₹15.75 crore (FY25). The valuation of Giskard's equity shares was determined at ₹11,794 per share based on a discounted cash flow method.
