Shares of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd are experiencing heavy selling pressure on Monday, tumbling as much as 14.32% to hit an intraday low of Rs. 87 on the BSE.
The fall in ZEE shares is the stock’s fourth consecutive session of losses, and the total decline over the four sessions is 17%.
Reasons Behind the Zee Entertainment Shares Crash
ZEE shares have been under pressure for a long time now due to various reasons.
Today’s decline in ZEE stock is because of the company’s preferential warrant allotment. Last week, ZEE’s preferential issue and allotment committee approved the allotment of 2,40,59,266 fully convertible warrants at Rs. 126 per warrant to promoter group entity Sunbright Mauritius Investments Limited. The price comprised a warrant subscription price of Rs. 31.50 and a warrant exercise price of Rs. 94.50.
Investor sentiment was also shaken after the new development in the founder Subhash Chandra’s long-running personal insolvency case. Last week, on August 25, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved a repayment plan under which Chandra’s creditors will receive just Rs. 6.25 crore, plus another Rs.25 lakh towards process costs a total of Rs. 6.5 crore in returns on claims of approximately Rs. 22,006.57 crore. A recovery of only 0.03% for creditors, or a haircut of nearly 99.97%.
Moreover, just last month, the stock cracked over 13% after market regulator SEBI barred company founder Subhash Chandra and CEO Punit Goenka from the securities market for one year, along with a fine of Rs. 1.48 crore for both of them.
