Shares require full upfront payment. Warrants will be partially paid (25%) at allotment and the remaining 75% when shares are issued on conversion.

After complete conversion of warrants, Lenexis is expected to hold about 26.74% of RBA’s voting equity on a fully diluted basis, considering outstanding employee options.

Everstone Asia Exit and Promoter Change

Everstone Asia, through its affiliate QSR Asia Pte Ltd, agreed to sell its entire 11.26% stake in RBA at ₹70 per share. This share sale forms part of a Share Purchase Agreement and is expected to complete alongside the preferential issue. The combined transactions will result in new promoters acquiring control of the company. Transactions remain subject to customary conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Under SEBI’s Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers Regulations, the change in promoter control automatically triggers an open offer to public shareholders. An open offer has been launched to acquire up to 20.8 crore equity shares at ₹70 each, representing 26% of the expanded voting share capital.

Management and Board Changes

The Strategic Subscription Agreement outlines that, upon closing, the board will be reconstituted. Certain non-executive directors will resign, and nominees of the acquirer group will join. Mr Ajay Kaul, currently a non-executive director with a minor existing shareholding in Lenexis, will become a nominee director. The shift reflects the formal change in promoter control under applicable stock exchange regulations.

RBA Share Price Update

Restaurant Brands Asia share price stands at ₹63.7 per share on the BSE as of 20 January 2026 at market close, down around 4.7% on the day.
