Strategic Acquisition and Investment
Evexia plans to acquire 18,600 fresh equity shares, each valued at Rs. 10, on a preferential basis.

This capital will be provided as quasi-capital, without interest, and will be disbursed in tranches as required by Diponed Bio to fuel its business expansion. Evexia retains the option to convert part of this quasi-capital into equity to maintain its 65% shareholding.
