The table highlights Yes Bank's approach to its major fundraising initiative, detailing the breakdown of equity and debt capital.
Equity Dilution: The total equity dilution, including the conversion of approved convertible debt, will be limited to 10%.
Changes to Articles of Association: As part of the fundraising process, Yes Bank’s board has approved amendments to the Articles of Association. These amendments include provisions about director nominations.
SMBC (Suimoto Mitsui Banking Corporation) and SBI Representation:
SMBC can nominate two non-executive, non-independent directors if their stake remains above 10%.
SBI can nominate one non-executive, non-independent director if its stake stays above 5%.
Termination of Rights: These nomination rights will expire if the stake of SMBC or SBI falls below the prescribed thresholds.
This fundraising initiative is linked to a share purchase agreement signed on May 9, 2025, between Yes Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), and State Bank of India (SBI). As part of this deal, SBI and other lenders plan to sell a 20% stake in Yes Bank to SMBC for ₹13,483 Crores.
Yes Bank’s approval to raise ₹16,000 Crores is a step toward business expansion and strengthening its capital structure. With a mix of equity and debt raising, the bank aims to tap into both domestic and international markets. The changes to the Articles of Association and the involvement of SMBC and SBI signal potential shifts in the bank’s governance structure, further enhancing its prospects.
