IIFL Finance

Summary

CNBC TV18 reported that IIFL Finance's board approved a ₹6,414 crore fundraise through a preferential issue, meaning new shares sold to chosen investors rather than the public. A Blackstone affiliate will invest ₹5,000 crore and take a 15.57% stake, while promoters Nirmal Jain and R Venkataraman will subscribe to warrants worth ₹1,264 crore. Business Standard reported the same Blackstone figure of ₹5,000 crore but put the promoter investment at ₹1,200 crore, so the two outlets differ slightly on that number. Warrants are rights to buy shares later at a set price. A preferential issue needs shareholder and regulatory approvals before the shares are allotted.
