Companies recently gone for QIP and their issue size 1.
BHL
Bajaj Hindusthan (BHL), the country’s largest and the world’s fifth biggest sugar company, raised Rs 723 crore through a qualified institutional placement (QIP) of equity shares. BHL joint managing director Kushagra Bajaj said the issue was priced at Rs 204 a share, marginally higher than the Sebi-determined floor price of Rs 203 a share. The successful closure of the QIP by BHL brought cheer to its domestic peers which have lined up a series of such offerings to raise Rs 35,000 crore this year after Indian stocks had their biggest quarterly gain in 17 years. BHL has issued 35.4 million shares to 25 institutional investors, leading to a 22% expansion of the company’s equity base. On the expanded equity, the promoters stake will come down to 42% from 51%. The identity of the investors will be revealed after the allotment of shares on Tuesday. According to Mr. Bajaj, the proceeds of the issue would be utilized to bring down the company’s debt to nearly Rs 2,300 crore which, in turn, will ease pressure on the company’s margin and also improve the debt-equity ratio from about 2.5:1 to about 1:1. “Full subscription to our QIP reflects investors’ confidence in BHL’s commitment to, and confidence in, the sugar and ethanol businesses,” he said. BHL is the world’s 10th largest ethanol maker. The BHL stock gained 1% to close at Rs 206.50 on the BSE on Wednesday. CLSA and Deutsche Bank acted as the joint global coordinators and joint book running lead managers to the issue.

CONSOLIDATION OR REVERSE SPLIT Note: It is observed that Indian Companies (companies listed on Indian Stock Exchanges) do not opt for Consolidation. Hence, all the companies below are listed on some or the other stock exchange outside India.
Sri Adhikari Brothers Sri Adhikari Brothers has informed the stock exchanges that the board of Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network has approved the consolidation of face value of the company’s shares (reverse stock split) from‚ 5 shares of face value Rs. 2 each to 1 share of face value Rs. 10 each. Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network share prices were up after this announcement was made. A stock split increases liquidity and hence there is an increase in share prices during a stock split. The opposite takes place in case of the reverse stock split and logically the share prices should fall during a reverse stock split. However that doesn’t seem to be happening in case of the Sri Adhikari Brothers Reverse Stock Split.
