The full read
Sharp Investments, worth just ₹9 crore on the stock market, has decided to buy a private company for ₹27.51 crore. It is paying entirely in new shares: 27.51 crore shares at Re 1 each. That means the current shareholders, who owned 100% of a ₹9 crore company, will own less than 1% of the combined entity. The target, Rajal Lefin & Commercial Private Limited, becomes a wholly owned subsidiary. The board also hiked the authorised capital to accommodate the issuance and approved June quarter numbers showing a modest ₹7.52 lakh profit on ₹12.41 lakh revenue. Existing shareholders get almost nothing. For a dormant nano-cap, this is a complete rewiring of the capital structure. The open question is whether the acquisition adds any value at all.
