SpiceJet extends gains
Budget airline SpiceJet rose 3% to Rs 59.80 but was off an intra-day high of Rs 61.90, after its board approved an issue of shares worth $118.5 million on a preferential basis.As many as 9.4 lakh shares changed hands in the counter on BSE.

The scrip had spurted 8.5% on Monday to Rs 58 after the Tata group on Monday said it had picked up `less than 10% stake' in the company as a purely financial investment. The stock had risen on high volume of 41.9 lakh shares that day. Foreign fund Merrill Lynch bought 13.24 lakh shares of SpiceJet at Rs 58.04 per share.

Spicejet today approved shares worth $118.5 million for foreign and domestic investors, including the Tata group. Recent reports suggest that Tata Group will pick up 7.5% in SpiceJet for less than Rs 100 crore, through a preferential allotment.

But the total preferential issue of $118.50 million by SpiceJet will result in a massive 48% equity dilution, assuming that shares are offered at the current market price of Rs 60 a share. The company’s current equity base is Rs 184.34 crore, the face value per share being Rs 10.

Spicejet has already raised money twice; a $80 million overseas convertible bond issue and a $12.5 million stake sale to Dubai investment firm, Istithmar, since it began operations in May 2005.
