The board of private sector lender Lakshmi Vilas Bank is most likely to meet on April 12 to clear the fund-raising plans as well as to prop up its Additional Tier I capital.
“The board of directors of the bank is scheduled to meet on April 12 to approve the issuance and allotment of equity shares, including by way of a preferential allotment,” said the lender in a regulatory filing.
It will also consider raising capital via issuance and allotment of Basel III-compliant Additional Tier-1 debt instruments in the nature of bonds, added the bank.
Last week, the Tamil Nadu-based lender had announced plans to amalgamate with Indiabulls Housing Finance via a share swap deal, a move that is widely perceived to help the bank in improving its financial health.
In March, the lender raised Rs 459.59 crore through a QIP to bolster its capital adequacy.
