Standard Engineering Technology Limited (NSE:SETL) has issued additional disclosures regarding the proposed preferential issue of equity shares through a share swap arrangement for the acquisition of equity shares of GScale Infinity Private Limited.
The updates were included in the corrigendum issued to the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) notice after the company received observations from the stock exchanges regarding additional disclosures and clarifications required under the applicable regulatory framework.
The proposed transaction involves the issuance of equity shares by Standard Engineering Technology to Truplusco India LLP in exchange for acquiring equity shares of GScale Infinity Private Limited.
Equity shares proposed to be issued against acquisition
According to the updated disclosure, Standard Engineering Technology proposes to issue 22,18,431 equity shares to Truplusco India LLP under the share swap arrangement.
The equity shares will be issued at an issue price of Rs. 293 per equity share, resulting in a total consideration of Rs. 65,00,00,283.
The proposed allotment will be made on a non-cash consideration basis, as the transaction involves the exchange of equity shares rather than a cash payment structure.
Under the arrangement, the equity shares issued by Standard Engineering Technology will be allotted to Truplusco India LLP in consideration for the acquisition of shares in GScale Infinity Private Limited.
Acquisition involves GScale Infinity equity shares
As part of the share swap transaction, Standard Engineering Technology will acquire 26,257 equity shares of GScale Infinity Private Limited from Truplusco India LLP.

The company disclosed that the difference between the consideration payable and the value of shares issued amounts to Rs. 8,248. This difference has arisen due to rounding-off and fractional adjustments while determining the number of equity shares to be allotted under the share swap arrangement.
The company has confirmed that this differential amount will be paid by Truplusco India LLP to Standard Engineering Technology through normal banking channels to ensure that the agreed consideration under the transaction is fully discharged.
Updated allottee details disclosed
