Systematic Industries Limited completed a preferential allotment of 14.574 lakh shares at Rs 228 each on November 3, 2026, for Rs 33.22872 crore, lifting paid-up equity capital to Rs 23.788642 crore and providing share-swap consideration for a planned 99.96% holding in Wire Brigade Industries Private Limited.

What did Systematic Industries allot on November 3, 2026?

Systematic Industries allotted 14.574 lakh equity shares with a face value of Rs 10 each at Rs 228 per share, including a premium of Rs 218 per share. The board approved the preferential allotment at its November 3, 2026 meeting, which started at 3:30 pm Indian Standard Time and concluded at 5:50 pm.

The allotment carried aggregate consideration of Rs 33.22872 crore and covered promoter-group and non-promoter allottees. Systematic Industries said the consideration comprised cash subscriptions and consideration other than cash through a share swap, but did not disclose the number of shares or consideration amount attributable separately to the cash and swap portions.

The issue was made under the extraordinary general meeting, or EOGM, notice dated September 8, 2026 and corrigendum dated September 25, 2026. The filing says shareholder approval was received at an EOGM held on October 1, 2016, as stated in the announcement, and describes the allotment as compliant with the Companies Act, 2013 and the Securities and Exchange Board of India Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2018.

How did Systematic Industries' equity capital change?

Systematic Industries' paid-up equity capital increased by Rs 1.4574 crore, from Rs 22.331242 crore to Rs 23.788642 crore, after the issue of 14.574 lakh new shares. The equity share count increased from 223.31242 lakh shares to 237.88642 lakh shares, with a face value of Rs 10 per share.

The new shares represented an increase of about 6.5% from the pre-allotment count of 223.31242 lakh shares. Systematic Industries did not provide post-allotment ownership percentages for promoter-group allottees, non-promoter allottees or the shareholders transferring Wire Brigade Industries Private Limited shares.

The unaudited standalone financial results for the half year ended September 30, 2026 recorded paid-up equity capital of Rs 22.3312 crore. The Rs 23.788642 crore figure reported in the November 3 board outcome reflects the allotment completed after that September 30 reporting date.

How will Systematic Industries acquire Wire Brigade Industries?

Systematic Industries will acquire 9,996 equity shares of Wire Brigade Industries Private Limited, representing 99.96% of its shareholding, through the share-swap part of the preferential allotment. The company said the acquisition would result in Wire Brigade Industries becoming its wholly owned subsidiary under Section 2(87) of the Companies Act, 2013.

The mechanism involves Systematic Industries issuing part of the 14.574 lakh shares as non-cash consideration in exchange for the target's shares. The November 3 filing does not disclose Wire Brigade Industries' revenue, assets, liabilities, valuation, business activities, sellers or the part of the Rs 33.22872 crore consideration allocated to the transaction.

The announced 99.96% stake and the statement that Wire Brigade Industries will become a wholly owned subsidiary leave a 0.04% difference not explained in the filing. Systematic Industries also did not state a separate completion date for the acquisition beyond saying it follows from the share-swap allotment.
