The acquisition will be funded in part by an investment proposed to be made by the investors in optionally convertible debentures of Mudhra Labs -- the holding company of Matrix Pharma.
The regulator also cleared investment by Kingsman in compulsorily convertible preference shares of Mudhra Lifesciences, the ultimate holding company of Matrix Pharma.
The proceeds of these investments will be utilised by Matrix Pharma towards the acquisition of Tianish Laboratories.
