The board of directors approved the draft of the offer document to be filed with Sebi at a meeting held here.

As per the modified rights issue proposal, IHCL will make two concurrent but unlinked rights issue: there will be no change in the rights issue of equity shares to be offered to the shareholders in the ratio of 1:5 at Rs 70 per share (of the face value of Re 1 each); this issue will increase the equity capital by Rs 12.06 crore (over the present capital of Rs 60.29 crore) and will raise Rs 844 crore.

Each NCD will have a detachable warrant giving the holders a right to purchase one share of the company for Rs 130-150 and this right would be exercisable not later than 12 months from the date of allotment.
