PC Jeweller Limited has informed stock exchanges about the allotment of 6,85,50,000 equity shares pursuant to the conversion of fully convertible warrants, as approved by its Board of Directors through a circular resolution passed on January 22, 2026. The disclosure was made in compliance with a SEBI Regulation 30 disclosure, as per filings submitted to both the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
The allotment follows the receipt of the balance subscription amount from eligible warrant holders and represents a key step in the company’s ongoing capital restructuring exercise.
Background: Preferential Issue of Fully Convertible Warrants
PC Jeweller Limited had earlier, in September and October 2024, allotted 48,08,02,500 fully convertible warrants on a preferential basis to entities belonging to both the Promoter Group and the Non-Promoter, Public Category. These warrants were issued in accordance with the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.
The current allotment pertains specifically to 68,55,000 warrants held by six allottees under the non-promoter category, who exercised their right to convert the warrants into equity shares.
Details of the Conversion of Warrants
As per the exchange filing, the company allotted:
- 6,85,50,000 equity shares
- Face value: ₹1 per equity share
- Number of warrants converted: 68,55,000
The conversion was executed after receipt of an aggregate amount of ₹28.89 crore, representing 75% of the issue price per warrant, at the rate of ₹42.15 per warrant. The remaining 25% had already been received at the time of initial warrant subscription.
The newly allotted equity shares shall rank pari passu with the existing equity shares of the company in all respects, including voting rights and dividend entitlement.
Adjustment Following Share Split
The filing also clarified that the allotment figures have been adjusted following the sub-division (share split) of equity shares undertaken by the company. With effect from December 16, 2024, PC Jeweller Limited split:
- 1 equity share of face value ₹10 into
- 10 equity shares of face value ₹1 each
Accordingly, the number of equity shares allotted, the paid-up value per share, and the premium per share were adjusted to reflect the revised capital structure.
Allottees Under the Non-Promoter Category
The equity shares were allotted to six non-promoter allottees, including:
- Suresh Chand Garg HUF
- Jitin Garg HUF
- Shyam Sunder Garg HUF
- Dinesh Garg HUF
- Shyam Sunder Garg
- Sambhavi Sinha
These allottees collectively converted 68,55,000 warrants into equity shares, resulting in the allotment of 6.85 crore shares under the preferential allotment of equity shares framework.
Impact on Paid-Up Equity Share Capital
Consequent to the allotment, the paid-up equity share capital of PC Jeweller Limited has increased as follows:
- Before allotment:
- ₹732.84 crore (732,84,94,855 equity shares of ₹1 each)
- After allotment:
- ₹739.70 crore (739,70,44,855 equity shares of ₹1 each)
This reflects an increase of ₹6.85 crore in paid-up capital following the conversion of warrants.
Change in Shareholding Pattern
Post allotment, the shareholding structure of the company has undergone a marginal change:
- Promoter and promoter group holding: reduced from 37.19% to 36.85%
- Public shareholding: increased from 62.81% to 63.15%
The increase in public shareholding is directly attributable to the allotment of equity shares to non-promoter warrant holders.
Regulatory Compliance and Board Approval
The circular resolution approving the allotment was unanimously approved by all directors, with the final approval received at 5:32 PM on January 22, 2026. The company has confirmed that the transaction complies with:

What This Means for Investors
For investors tracking PC Jeweller Limited, the conversion of warrants into equity shares strengthens the company’s equity base and improves capital adequacy. While preferential allotments may result in equity dilution, they are often viewed positively when they:
