Board to consider fundraising: The bank's board is meeting on June 29, 2026, to evaluate raising fresh capital through a mix of equity and debt instruments. Fundraising options: The proposal includes issuing equity via private placement, preferential issue, or other permitted routes, along with convertible and non-convertible debt securities. The bank also plans to seek shareholder approval at its upcoming AGM for future capital-raising flexibility. Market impact: Investor sentiment has been positive, with the stock moving closer to its 52-week high after the announcement. However, the final impact will depend on the size, pricing, and mix of equity versus debt, as a large equity issue could lead to dilution while strengthening the bank's capital base for future growth.
