Only 25% i.e. Rs. 56.25 per share is to be paid along with the application and the rest on one or subsequent calls by the company from time to time. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. CCL is spending Rs. 0.50 cr. for this RI process.

The issue is solely lead managed by Finshore Management Services Ltd. and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue.

Post RI, CCL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 11.58 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 13.51 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 303.94 cr.

The company is a dividend-paying company. It paid a dividend of Rs.1.50 per share in March 2020, Rs. 3.0 per share in September 21 and Rs. 2.00 per share in May 2022. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post listing of RI, based on its financial performance and future prospects.

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 501831:
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 352.75 on August 24, 2022, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 354.75 on August 25, 2022. Since then it has marked a high/low of Rs. 374.80 / Rs. 335. The scrip last closed at Rs. 350.40 as of September 09, 2022. Based on this quote, its post-RI market cap stands at Rs. 473.34 cr.

The scrip has posted the last 52 weeks high/low of Rs. 526.76 / Rs. 226.05. Promoter holding has remained static at 41.09% for the last three quarters ended on 30.06.2022.

The counter is well managed above the RI price to lure investors.

Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is witnessing pressure on margins as indicated by its last two years’ financial data. It appears that the counter is well managed above RI price to lure investors. Cash surplus/risk seeker may consider parking of funds.
