Stock in focus: Zee Media shares have been on an uptrend for the last one week. In the previous five straight sessions, Zee Media’s share price has ascended from around ₹13 to ₹20.75 apiece on the NSE, recording a nearly 55% rally. However, the Zee Media stock is expected to remain in focus when the Indian stock market reopens on Monday. The reason for being under the radar of Indian stock market followers is the fundraising buzz. Even though the stock hit a 10% upper circuit on Friday after the board meeting outcome was announced ahead of the closing bell, it is still being determined whether the market has discounted this fundraising buzz or there is still some steam left in Zee Media shares.
According to the exchange filing, Zee Media has proposed the issuance of up to 13,33,33,333 (Thirteen Crores Thirty-Three Lakhs Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Three) warrants, fully convertible or exchangeable into one fully paid-up equity share each. These warrants are priced at ₹15 apiece, not exceeding ₹200 crore.
The firm stated that an initial payment of 25% of the issue price would be required at the time of warrant subscription and allotment, with the remaining 75% to be paid upon exercising the conversion option within the specified 18-month period. The issue is subject to approval from the Company’s members and other regulatory authorities as needed.
