Nazara To Raise ₹733 Cr Via Preferential Issue To Fund Acquisitions, Growth

Gaming company Nazara Technologies has authorized the issuance of up to ₹733.5 crore through a preferential share allocation. The objective is to finance strategic acquisitions, expand its gaming offerings, and invest in AI-driven game development. The board's decision grants approval for the issuance of up to 2.39 crore equity shares, each priced at ₹306.

The company's investment signifies the investors' belief in its long-term growth strategy. The incoming CEO, Raymond Albaladejo Stauffer, plans to invest around ₹583.5 crore as part of the issue, positioning him as a substantial individual shareholder.
