Mumbai: PaisaLo Digital Ltd, a LIC-backed small-cap financial company, saw its shares rise today even as the overall market remained under pressure. The stock gained 1.59 percent, reaching Rs 31.30 on Monday.
This jump came after the company announced plans to raise Rs 50 crore through Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs), which are a form of fixed-income investment.
Rs 50 Crore NCD Issue Approved
In a regulatory filing, the company stated that its Operations and Finance Committee approved the NCD issuance in a meeting held on August 5. The funds will be raised through private placement using the Electronic Bidding Platform (EBP).
PaisaLo Digital will issue 5,000 NCDs, each with a face value of Rs 1 lakh, totalling Rs 50 crore — split between a base issue of Rs 25 crore and a green shoe option of Rs 25 crore.
Attractive 9.75 percent Annual Return
These NCDs will carry an attractive coupon rate of 9.75 percent per annum, with quarterly interest payments. They will have a 3-year tenure, and are expected to be allotted on August 8, 2025.
Investors will get back their principal amount on maturity, after three years. The NCDs will also be listed on the BSE, offering liquidity and transparency to investors.
