      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The USD 100M bond issue, netting USD 85M at a 15% discount, would massively dilute a ₹513 cr micro-cap.</em></p>
<h3>What’s new</h3><ul><li>Board approved FCCB conversion price of ₹3.60 per share, a 15% discount on principal.</li><li>Issue of 1,000 bonds at $100,000 each, netting USD 85M.</li><li>Bonds carry a 2% annual coupon, mature in 2031, listed on AFRINEX Mauritius.</li></ul>
<h3>Why it matters</h3><p>At ₹3.60 per share, full conversion would create 264.55 crore new equity shares. For a micro-cap with ₹513 crore market cap, that is extreme dilution that would reduce existing holdings to a fraction.</p>
<h3>What we’re watching</h3><ul><li>Whether the ISIN is obtained by the 6 July 2026 opening date.</li><li>Share price reaction to the dilution announcement.</li><li>Any early conversion or buyback provisions in the bond terms.</li></ul>
<h3>The full read</h3><p>Davangere Sugar fixed its FCCB conversion price at ₹3.60. That is a shocker. Full conversion would create <strong>264.55 crore</strong> new shares, more than the current float, in a company worth just <strong>₹513 crore</strong>. The <strong>USD 100M</strong> bond issue, carrying a <strong>2%</strong> coupon and a five-year tenor, nets only <strong>USD 85M</strong> thanks to a <strong>15%</strong> discount on principal. The board approved terms on 3 July, and the issue opens 6 July on the AFRINEX exchange in Mauritius, pending an ISIN. Massive dilution. Existing shareholders would see their ownership slashed to a sliver if bondholders convert.</p>

      <description>The micro-cap sugar company is raising nearly double its market cap via FCCBs convertible into 2,645 crore shares at ₹3.60 each, overwhelming existing equity.</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The micro-cap sugar company is raising nearly double its market cap via FCCBs convertible into 2,645 crore shares at ₹3.60 each, overwhelming existing equity.</em></p>
<h3>What’s new</h3><ul><li>Board approved USD 100 million FCCBs with 2% coupon, 15% discount on principal.</li><li>Conversion price set at ₹3.60 per share, implying 2,645 crore new shares.</li><li>Bonds mature in 5 years, listed on Afrinex Stock Exchange in Mauritius.</li></ul>
<h3>Why it matters</h3><p>For a company with a ₹513 crore market cap and ROE of 3.1%, a ₹952 crore FCCB that can convert into 2,645 crore shares would wipe out existing holders. The 2% coupon is cheap debt, but the conversion terms turn it into a poison pill for equity.</p>
<h3>What we’re watching</h3><ul><li>Whether the stock holds above the ₹3.60 floor price before the issue opens in July 2026.</li><li>If institutional investors subscribe given the dilution overhang.</li><li>Any subsequent buyback or restructuring to offset share-count expansion.</li></ul>
<h3>The full read</h3><p>Davangere Sugar's board signed off on a <strong>USD 100 million</strong> FCCB issue (roughly <strong>₹952 crore</strong>), more than double its <strong>₹513 crore</strong> market cap. The bonds carry a <strong>2%</strong> coupon, are issued at a <strong>15%</strong> discount, and can convert at <strong>₹3.60</strong> per share, spawning <strong>2,645 crore</strong> new shares. For a micro-cap with a <strong>3.1%</strong> ROE, this isn't funding; it's a capital-structure reset that leaves existing equity in the dust. The issue doesn't open until <strong>July 2026</strong>, but the terms are set: if converted, the dilution is staggering. The only thing keeping it from being an outright disaster is the <strong>5-year</strong> maturity (enough time for the business to grow into the base). That's a long shot given current profitability.</p>
