PC Jeweller Limited has announced plans to raise a significant sum of money through the issuance of convertible warrants. On July 13, 2024, the company's board of directors approved the issuance of 48,13,42,500 warrants for Rs 56.20 each. These warrants will be offered to both existing shareholders and the general public, with the potential to raise up to Rs 2705,14,48,500. This revised plan expands on a previous proposal to offer warrants solely to the promoter group.

Each warrant gives the holder the right to convert it into one equity share with a face value of Rs 10 within 18 months following the issuance. If a warrant holder fails to exercise this conversion option within the stipulated timeframe, the warrant will expire, and the invested amount will be forfeited to the company. The company intends to use the proceeds from this warrant issuance to fund its operations.
