JAIN IRRIGATION REDEEMS FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERTIBLE BONDS (FCCB’s) OF USD 10 MILLION
4th May 2018
In May 2013 the Company had issued 5 year FCCBs of USD 5 million subscribed by Nederlandse Financierings– Maatschappij Voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V., The Netherlands ("FMO") and USD 5 million subscribed by Societe De Promotion et de Participation pour la Cooperation Economique, France ("Proparco") aggregating to USD 10 million. The FCCB’s had a conversion option. Since conversion option was not exercised by the holder & the FCCB’s became redeemable on due date, that is on 2nd May, 2018.
The Company has redeemed the 1,000 FCCB’s of USD 10,000 each aggregating to USD 10 million on 2nd May, 2018 as per the terms of the Agreement dated 26th February, 2013 & 27th February, 2013 executed between the Company and Proparco and FMO respectively. The Company has also paid redemption premium of USD 1.34 million, aggregate redemption amount being USD 11.34 million (Approx. INR 75.41 Cr).
Mr. Anil B Jain, Vice Chairman and Managing Director said after the redemption of FCCB’s, "This has further helped us to reduce convertible foreign currency debt of the Company and we have avoided approx. 1.12% potential Equity dilution that would have happened to the existing Shareholders due to FCCB conversion.
