Low-cost carrier SpiceJet said on Wednesday that its shareholders have approved proposals to raise R145 crore through issue of debentures and warrants on a preferential basis to promoter Kalanithi Maran.
The budget airline, promoted by Sun Group, is looking for funds for expansion.
About R130 crore would be raised through issue of 14% unsecured compulsorily convertible debentures. Further, by way of allotting warrants with an option to apply for equity shares, the carrier would mop up R15 crore.
Both proposals have been approved by the shareholders, SpiceJet said in a filing to the BSE.
Shareholders have approved re-designation of S Natrajhen as managing director. Share of the company fell 1.58% on Wednesday to close at R43.50 on the BSE.
