The company has announced its 23rd series of public issue of secured redeemable non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of the face value of Rs 1,000 each.
Shares of Muthoot Finance declined
almost 3 percent in intraday trade even as the company revealed its plans of
secured non-convertible debentures (NCDs).
The company, on October 26,
announced its 23rd series of public issue of secured redeemable NCDs of the
face value of Rs 1,000 each.
In a press release, the company said the issue is with a base issue size of Rs 100 crore with an option to retain oversubscription up to Rs 1,900 crore, aggregating up to a tranche limit of Rs 2,000 crore.
"The issue will open on October 27, 2020, and will close on November 20, 2020, with an option to close on such earlier date or an extended date as may be decided by the board of directors or NCD committee," said the media release.
"The secured NCDs proposed
to be issued under this issue have been rated CRISIL AA/Positive by CRISIL and
[ICRA] AA (Stable) by ICRA. The rating of the secured NCDs by CRISIL and ICRA
indicates a high degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial
obligations," Muthoot Finance said.
Moreover, the NCDs are proposed
to be listed on BSE. The allotment will be on a first come first serve basis.
"There are six investment
options for secured NCDs with ‘monthly’ or ‘annual’ interest payment frequency
or ‘on maturity redemption’ payments with coupon ranging from 7.15 percent per
annum to 8 percent per annum," Muthoot Finance said.
George Alexander Muthoot,
Managing Director, Muthoot Finance Ltd, said, "In the present scenario of
lower interest rates and expectations of interest rates falling further, our
issue offers safe long-term investment options with high stable returns to
investors."
"The issue will augment the
company’s long-term funding requirements thereby supporting the stable growth
that our company envisages. We expect the current issue, too, be well received
by the market in line with our previous NCD issues as there are limited
comparable investment avenues available," he added.
Shares of the company pared
losses and traded 0.11 percent down at Rs 1,183 on BSE at 1400 hours.
