Anjani Portland Cement has announced a Rs 249.06 crore rights issue. The subscription for the rights issue will open on December 30, 2022, and close on January 19, 2023. The company will issue 12,642,848 equity shares with a face value of Rs 10 per share at Rs 197 per equity. 

Let’s begin by understanding: ‘what is a rights issue?’

What is a rights issue?

The rights issue is an offer to the existing shareholders to buy additional shares. Cash-strapped companies can release rights shares when they need to raise additional funding. The offer gives the right to the shareholders but not the obligation to buy new shares of the company at a discounted price.

The rights offer gives shareholders securities called rights. With the rights, the shareholders can buy new shares at a lower rate than the current market price on a fixed future date/period. Individuals can increase their exposure to the company by committing to the rights issues.

Before subscribing to the rights issue, investors should know a few things, like the rights issue ratio. Rights issues are shared on a pro-rata basis at a fixed rate. Anjani Portland Cement rights issues will be available at a ratio of 2:1. For 2 shares, shareholders will receive 1 rights issue at Rs 197.   

Anjani Portland Cement company overview

The company is a part of the Chettinad Group which is a major business house in South India. It operates two cement production lines – the first being set up in 1999 with an installed production capacity of 400,000 MT per annum and the second one set up in 2010 with a capacity of 7,60,000 MT per annum. Both lines comprise a 5-stage preheater and pre-calcinator. The company primarily produces Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Composite cement and Portland Pozzolana Cement. The stock is listed on NSE and BSE.

Objectives of the rights issue

The company proposes to utilise the fund for repayment and prepayment of inter-corporate deposits availed by the company from the promoters.

Hence the company is spending around Rs. 6 lakhs for the RI. Once the process is over, the company will have a paid-up equity capital of Rs. 37.93 cr (currently, the figure is Rs. 25.29 cr). 

Eligibility for the rights issue

Rights issues are released in the primary market. But unlike initial or follow-on public offerings, rights issues are not open for general shareholders. It is available only to the existing shareholders.  

To participate in the rights issue, the shareholder must own the company’s share as on the record date. The shares become ex-rights one day before the record date. If you buy shares on or after the ex-date, you can’t apply for the rights shares. It is because it takes t+2 days to deliver the equities to the investors’ Demat, and you’ll not qualify as an existing shareholder on the record date.
