Zee Entertainment Share Price Falls Over 3% After ₹3,143.5 Crore Promoter Warrant Issue

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) has approved a preferential issue of fully convertible warrants worth up to ₹3,143.5 crore to Sunbright Mauritius Investments, a promoter group entity.

The proposal was approved by the company's board on 1 July 2026 and is subject to shareholders' approval and other regulatory clearances.

Details of the Warrant Issue

Under the proposal, Zee Entertainment will issue up to 24.95 crore fully convertible warrants at an issue price of ₹126 per warrant.

Each warrant can be converted into one fully paid-up equity share with a face value of ₹1.

The issue price includes a premium of ₹125 per warrant.

Payment and Conversion Timeline

Sunbright Mauritius Investments will pay 25% of the issue price, or ₹31.50 per warrant, at the time of allotment.

The remaining 75%, or ₹94.50 per warrant, must be paid when the warrants are converted into equity shares.

The investor can convert the warrants in one or more tranches within 18 months from the allotment date. If the warrants are not converted within this period, they will expire, and the upfront payment will be forfeited.

Promoter Holding May Increase

According to the company's regulatory filing, Sunbright Mauritius Investments currently does not own any shares in Zee Entertainment.

Once all the warrants are converted, the promoter group entity could hold up to 24.95 crore equity shares, representing around 20% of the company's fully diluted share capital.

Board Approves ESOP 2026

Along with the warrant issue, the board also approved the ESOP 2026 scheme for employees.

The employee stock option plan will be implemented after receiving the required approvals. The company will announce the date for the shareholders' meeting, where both the warrant issue and ESOP proposal will be considered.
