DSIJ Intelligence-1Categories: Mindshare, Trending



The stock is up by 20 per cent from its 52-week low of Rs 19.21 per share and has given multibagger returns of over 250 per cent in 5 years.
Fineotex Chemical Limited (FCL) has approved the allotment of 50,00,000 equity shares (face value of Re 1 each) following the conversion of 5,00,000 warrants by the Intuitive Alpha Investment Fund PCC, an entity in the non-promoter category. The conversion was finalised upon the receipt of Rs 14.53 crore, representing the remaining 75 per cent of the warrant exercise price. This transaction has increased the company's paid-up share capital to Rs 116.45 crore, resulting in a revised shareholding structure where promoters hold 61.87 per cent and non-promoters hold 38.13 per cent.
While this conversion successfully processed 5,00,000 warrants, the company also confirmed the forfeiture of the remaining 2,315,049 warrants from the July 2024 allotment. These warrants lapsed as the holders did not exercise their conversion rights within the mandatory 18-month period. Consequently, the initial subscription amount of approximately Rs 22.42 crore associated with these unexercised warrants has been forfeited by the company in accordance with SEBI regulations.
