Hemant Surgical Industries Limited, a company engaged in the healthcare and medical devices sector, has made a significant announcement under Regulation 30 of SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR). The company confirmed that it has allotted 20,99,200 (Twenty Lakh Ninety-Nine Thousand Two Hundred) fully convertible warrants on a preferential basis. This move is aimed at raising funds and strengthening the company’s financial position for future growth.

The preferential allotment was approved by the Board of Directors and the Members of the Company at their respective meetings held on August 06, 2025 and August 30, 2025. Furthermore, the company received in-principle approval from BSE Limited via its letter dated September 11, 2025. Following this approval, the Board of Directors passed a circular resolution on September 16, 2025, sanctioning the allotment of warrants.

Each warrant has been issued at a price of Rs. 197, out of which 25% (Rs. 49.25) has been received upfront as subscription money. The remaining 75% (Rs. 147.75) will be payable at the time of conversion into equity shares. This has resulted in the company immediately raising Rs. 10,33,85,600 (Rupees Ten Crore Thirty-Three Lakh Eighty-Five Thousand Six Hundred only) as upfront funds.

Details of Allottees and Distribution

The warrants have been allotted to both promoter group and non-promoter investors. The key details are as follows:

• Singularity Large Value Fund III (Non-Promoter): 6,49,600 warrants, contributing Rs. 3.19 crore upfront.

• Singularity Equity Fund I (Non-Promoter): 6,49,600 warrants, contributing Rs. 3.19 crore upfront.

• Singularity Equity Fund II (Non-Promoter): 2,00,000 warrants, contributing Rs. 98.5 lakh upfront.

• Hemant Praful Shah (Promoter): 2,00,000 warrants, contributing Rs. 98.5 lakh upfront.

• Hanskumar Shamji Shah (Promoter & MD): 2,00,000 warrants, contributing Rs. 98.5 lakh upfront.

• Kaushik Hanskumar Shah (Promoter): 2,00,000 warrants, contributing Rs. 98.5 lakh upfront.

Thus, a total of six allottees have been issued these warrants, raising over Rs. 10.33 crore at the initial stage.

Nature of Warrants and Conversion Rights

The securities issued are fully convertible warrants, meaning each warrant is convertible into one fully paid-up equity share of face value Rs. 10 with a premium of Rs. 187 per share. The conversion option can be exercised within 18 months from the date of allotment.

This structure allows flexibility for investors. They have the choice to exercise the conversion and pay the remaining 75% of the price, or let the warrants lapse if they do not wish to convert. Importantly, until the warrants are converted, the paid-up equity share capital of the company remains unchanged.

Regulatory Compliance and SEBI Guidelines

The issue price of Rs. 197 per warrant has been determined in line with the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018. The preferential allotment also complies with all requirements under SEBI’s guidelines, ensuring transparency and fairness.

The disclosure made by Hemant Surgical also confirms compliance with SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/0155 dated November 11, 2024, which governs such capital market transactions.

Post-Issue Shareholding Impact

As per the disclosure, once these warrants are converted, the shareholding pattern of the company will change as follows:

• Singularity Large Value Fund III will hold 6,49,600 equity shares (5.18% stake).

• Singularity Equity Fund I will hold 9,00,000 equity shares (7.18% stake).

• Singularity Equity Fund II will hold 2,00,000 equity shares (1.60% stake).

• Hemant Praful Shah will increase his holding from 17,34,080 to 19,34,080 shares, though percentage stake falls due to dilution.

• Hanskumar Shamji Shah will rise from 35,26,400 to 37,26,400 shares, but percentage reduces from 33.78% to 29.72%.

• Kaushik Hanskumar Shah will rise from 21,03,120 to 23,03,120 shares, but percentage falls from 20.14% to 18.37%.

This demonstrates that while promoters continue to hold a strong majority stake, non-promoter institutional investors are also entering the company’s equity base.

Strategic Importance of the Allotment

For Hemant Surgical, this preferential allotment is not merely a capital-raising exercise. It reflects a strategic approach to strengthen financial flexibility. The upfront capital infusion of Rs. 10.33 crore provides immediate funds for the company, which can be utilised for:

• Expansion of medical devices and surgical equipment manufacturing capacity.

• Strengthening working capital requirements to meet increasing demand.

• Investing in R&D for new healthcare products.

• Reducing financial leverage by utilising part of the funds to pay down short-term debt.

The inclusion of institutional investors like Singularity Funds also adds credibility and market confidence to Hemant Surgical’s growth plans.

Market Outlook and Investor Perspective

From an investor’s perspective, this preferential issue highlights confidence in the growth trajectory of Hemant Surgical. Institutional investors are willing to commit upfront capital, reflecting their belief in the company’s long-term performance.

Promoters too have participated by subscribing to warrants, which signals their commitment and faith in the business outlook. However, due to the dilution effect, the percentage of promoter holding will reduce slightly after full conversion, even though the absolute number of shares increases.

Future Prospects

With India’s healthcare sector growing rapidly, companies like Hemant Surgical are poised to benefit from rising demand for surgical equipment, dialysis products, and critical medical devices. The infusion of fresh funds through this preferential issue will help the company enhance its capacity to meet this demand.

Moreover, the conversion of warrants within the stipulated 18 months will bring in an additional Rs. 31 crore approximately (the balance 75% payable on conversion). This provides a strong medium-term capital inflow, ensuring that the company remains well-funded for its expansion plans.
