The private sector bank has decided to call an extra ordinary general meeting (EGM) on May 09, to take shareholders approval for allotment of equity shares to Heliconia on preferential basis. The board of the bank had already approved the same at their meeting held on April 12.
Heliconia will subscribe to a preferential issue of 20 million equity shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank at Rs 648 a share to fund expansion and boost capital. The transaction will strengthen the bank's tier-I capital and aid in financing its expansion plans.
