'No' to Currant Sea nominee on IDFC Bk board
MUMBAI: IDFC First Bank shareholders rejected a proposal to amend the bank's Articles of Association, which would have allowed Currant Sea Investments BV, a Warburg Pincus affiliate, to nominate a non-retiring, non-executive director to the bank's board. The resolution failed to secure the required 75% approval, receiving only 64.1% of votes in favour, with strong opposition from institutional investors.
The proposal was part of a broader investment move, where Warburg Pincus, through Currant Sea, sought CCI clearance to acquire a 9.99% stake in the bank by subscribing to compulsorily convertible cumulative preference shares. Alongside Currant Sea, Platinum Invictus B 2025 RSC, a wholly owned arm of ADIA, is set to buy a 5.1% stake.
