Antarctica Ltd Approves ₹69 Crore Rights Issue, Increases Authorized Capital
Antarctica Limited's Board approved a ₹69 crore Rights Issue to eligible shareholders. They also approved increasing the authorized share capital from ₹67 crore to ₹87 crore. A Rights Issue Committee has been formed, and a postal ballot will be conducted for shareholder approval of the capital increase.
The Rights Issue of ₹69 crore is a substantial amount for the company, and the increase in authorized capital signifies a strategic move for future expansion. However, the impact is medium as it is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
The company is planning to raise significant capital through a rights issue and increase its authorized share capital, which are generally positive steps for growth and financial flexibility.
Antarctica Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on May 14, 2026, has approved a Rights Issue to raise funds amounting to ₹69 crore. The equity shares will be issued on a rights basis to eligible shareholders, subject to regulatory approvals. The Board also approved the draft Letter of Offer and related documents for the Rights Issue.
Furthermore, the Board has approved an increase in the company's authorized share capital from ₹67 crore to ₹87 crore. This will be achieved by increasing the number of equity shares from 67 crore to 87 crore, each with a face value of ₹1. A draft Postal Ballot Notice for obtaining shareholder approval for this increase in authorized capital has also been approved. Varsha Rani Agarwal, a Practicing Company Secretary, has been appointed as the Scrutinizer for the postal ballot process.
A Rights Issue Committee has been constituted, comprising Mr. Aryan Arvindbhai Prajapati (Chairman), Mr. Nitinbhai Babubhai Karan (Member), and Mrs. Sarikaben Sanketkumar Ladani (Member). This committee will be authorized to appoint intermediaries and undertake necessary actions for the Rights Issue. The meeting commenced at 3:30 PM and concluded at 4:00 PM.
