Restaurant Brands Asia Approves Preferential Issue of ₹15,000 Crore, Changes Control
Restaurant Brands Asia Limited's Board approved a preferential issue of equity shares and warrants valued at approximately ₹15,000 crore. This includes issuing 12.86 crore shares and 8.57 crore warrants at ₹70 each. A related share purchase agreement involves the sale of 11.26% stake. These transactions will lead to a change in control, with new promoters acquiring the company. An EGM is scheduled for February 13, 2026, for shareholder approval.
The transaction involves a substantial capital raise of approximately ₹15,000 crore and a change in the company's promoters and control, which will have a significant impact on its strategic direction, management, and future operations.
The preferential issue and change in control indicate a significant capital infusion and potential strategic direction shift, which is generally viewed positively by the market as it signals growth opportunities and new management's commitment.
Restaurant Brands Asia Limited has announced a significant corporate action following a Board of Directors meeting held on January 20, 2026. The company approved an increase in its authorized share capital from ₹700 crore to ₹900 crore, subject to shareholder approval.
The primary approval was for a preferential issue of equity shares and warrants on a private placement basis to Lenexis Foodworks Private Limited, Aayush Agrawal Trust, Inspira Foodworks Private Limited, and Mr. Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal. This issue includes 12,85,71,128 equity shares at ₹70 per share, aggregating to ₹8,99,99,78,960, and 8,57,14,285 warrants at ₹70 per warrant, aggregating to ₹5,99,99,99,950. The total value of this preferential issue is approximately ₹15,000 crore.
Concurrently, a share purchase agreement (SPA) was executed on January 20, 2026, by QSR Asia Pte Ltd. and F&B Asia Ventures (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (Sellers) with the aforementioned Acquirers and Inspira Agro Trading LLC (IATL). Through this SPA, the Sellers will sell 6,56,23,090 equity shares, representing 11.26% of the company's paid-up equity share capital, at ₹70 per share. This transaction, along with the preferential issue, constitutes the Proposed Transaction.
Upon the closing of the SPA, the Acquirers and IATL will acquire control of Restaurant Brands Asia Limited and become the new promoters, while the Sellers will cease to be promoters. The company's Articles of Association will be amended to reflect these changes, including the nomination rights for directors by the new promoters. An extraordinary general meeting (EGM) is scheduled for February 13, 2026, to seek shareholder approval for these proposals.
