Fundraise plans

- The bank completed a rights issue (1:4) recently, increasing the stock count. - The decision to do a rights issue instead of a QIP was based on the stock trading below book value and to avoid dilution of existing shareholders. - No specific mention of any upcoming or planned new fundraising through debt or equity in the near term. - Dividend payouts continue, with a 30% dividend last year and a roughly INR 78 crores payout this year. - Management is focused on growing assets and revenues through operational improvements rather than immediate capital raise.
