LIC, four banks likely to invest Rs 161 cr in Videocon June 10, 2010
Mumbai: Four leading banks including IDBI Bank and country's largest insurer, Life Insurance Corporation of India, are likely to invest around Rs 160 crore in Videocon Industries, which will be used to fuel the electronics giant's expansion programme.

Videocon Industries is raising this amount as a part of its Rs 2,161 crore fund raising programme aimed at financing its business expansion plans.

The Rs 161 crore investment would be done by way of a preferential allotment and will enable the firm to meet its working capital requirements and on-going capital expenditure, the company said in a notice issued to its shareholders prior to its Extraordinary General Meeting later this month.

Other lenders, which would invest in the firm are ING Vysya Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) and State Bank of Patiala (SBP).

"The company is having a substantial amount of fund requirements to support the operations and growth in future.

IDBI Bank, ING Vysya Bank, OBC, SBP and LIC have expressed their intention to contribute to the equity of the company by way of preferential allotment," the company said in the notice.

Post-preferential allotment, the shareholding of the promoters in the company will come down to 66.67 per cent from the existing 68.46 per cent while the portion held by banks and financial institutions will rise to 3.55 per cent from 1.29 per cent presently.

Recently, the Board of the company had approved fund raising of up to Rs 2,161 crore through the equity route.

Apart from the preferential allotment, its Board has also approved Rs 1,000 crore through a qualified institutional placement and another Rs 1,000 crore through issue of equity shares or any other convertible instrument.

Post-issue, IDBI Bank will hold a 1.72 per cent of paid-up equity share capital in the company while the holding of LIC, ING Vysya Bank, OBC and SBP will stand at 5.26 per cent, 0.13 per cent, 0.33 per cent and 0.11 per cent respectively, the company said.

Videocon is a leading manufacturer of consumer electronics, home appliances and office automation equipment.

The company has also operations in areas like Internet services, petroleum exploration and power generation.

For the quarter ended March, the net profit of the company doubled to Rs 1.49 crore as against Rs 72.98 lakh over the corresponding period a year ago. Net income jumped up to Rs 28.40 crore in the quarter from Rs 22.14 crore in the year-ago period.

For the half-yearly period ended March 31, net profit rose to Rs 2.81 crore from Rs 1.33 crore in the same period last fiscal.
