Zee Entertainment Share Price Falls
Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd.’s share price dropped 6.24%, a day after shareholders voted against a proposal to raise Rs 2,237 crore by issuing warrants to the company’s promoters.
The resolution failed as the number of votes in favour was less than three times the number of votes against it.
Specifically, there were 32.47 crore (59.5%) in support of the resolution, while 22.09 crore voters (40.5%) opposed it. Most warrants were slated to be issued to a Mauritian promoter, with ousted board member Punit Goenka listed among the ultimate beneficiaries. Approval would have meant funds from Sunbright Mauritius Investments Ltd. and Altilis Technologies Pvt. Documents indicated that Sunbright was set to subscribe to over 99% of the warrants, which would have converted to a 14.92% stake in the company.
