Veranda Learning to Acquire Full Control of VXL, Raise ₹50 Crore via NCDs, and Demerge Commerce Vertical
The acquisition of VXL as a wholly-owned subsidiary will significantly impact the company's educational offerings and market position. The fundraising of ₹50 crore through NCDs provides substantial capital. The in-principle demerger and incorporation of a new subsidiary signal a major strategic reorganisation of a core business vertical, which could lead to enhanced operational efficiency and future growth opportunities.
The company is making a strategic move to fully acquire a key subsidiary (VXL), which will provide complete control over its operations. Additionally, the fundraising through NCDs and the proposed demerger and incorporation of a new WOS indicate a proactive approach to streamline operations and strengthen its financial and organizational structure.
Veranda Learning Solutions Limited's Board of Directors, at their meeting held on July 28, 2025, approved several key strategic initiatives: * Approved the acquisition of the remaining 24% equity stake in Veranda XL Learning Solutions Private Limited (VXL) from an existing shareholder. Upon completion, VXL will become a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company. VXL, incorporated on January 4, 2019, is engaged in providing online and offline coaching for professional courses like CA, CS, and CMA. Its assets for FY 2024-25 were ₹57,047.47 lakhs and turnover was ₹12,793.36 lakhs. * The acquisition consideration for the 24% stake will be ₹100 crore, paid through a combination of ₹50 crore via share swap of equity shares of Veranda Learning and ₹50 crore via cash. The acquisition is expected to be completed by December 31, 2025. * Approved the issuance of 20,16,124 fully paid-up equity shares of face value ₹10 each at a price of ₹248 per share (including a premium of ₹238 per share) to Mr. Jitendra Kantilal Shah on a preferential basis, as part of the consideration for the VXL acquisition. * Approved the issuance of up to 5,000 Secured, redeemable, un-rated, and unlisted Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs), each having a face value of ₹1,00,000 (Rupees One lakh), aggregating up to an amount of ₹50 crore on a Private Placement basis. These NCDs will have a tenure of up to 1 year and 1 day, with a coupon of 0.001% p.a. payable annually. * Approved the Notice convening an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) of shareholders, to be held on Monday, August 25, 2025, to seek necessary approvals. * Accorded in-principle approval to Demerge the Commerce Vertical under a scheme of arrangement, as recommended by the Restructuring Committee and Audit Committee. * Approved the incorporation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary, J.K.
