Acquisition of DGIT Solutions
ORG Informatics (ORG) has acquired 100% stake in Singapore-based DGIT Solutions Pte Ltd. Earlier, ORG had successfully raised $10 million through a global depository receipt (GDR) issue in the overseas markets. The issue had been priced at around Rs155 per share and resulted in a dilution of the equity base by 28.6 lakh shares. The company had also considered a preferential issue of 6 lakh warrants to its investors; the same has now been put on the backburner. Instead the company is considering dilution of equity through a fresh issue of shares for its future acquisitions. The additional dilution will be in line with the preferential issue of warrants considered earlier.
