Non-banking financial company Capital First, which is set to merge with IDFC Bank, will raise up to Rs 1,500 crore by issuing bonds on a private placement basis.
“The debenture committee of the company today approved an issue of rated, listed, secured, redeemable, non-convertible debentures of Rs 1,000 crore plus green shoe option of Rs 500 crore on a private placement basis,” Capital First said in a regulatory filing.
The bonds will carry two options with a coupon rate of 8.80 per cent each for maturities of two years and three years.
