Each warrant will be fully convertible or exchangeable into one fully paid-up equity share of face value ₹1 each. The warrants will be convertible within a period of 18 months from the date of allotment. The issue will be made to entities in the public category (non-promoter, non-promoter group) and other applicable laws, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
The company said 25% of the warrant issue price will be payable at the time of subscription and allotment, while the remaining 75% will be payable at the time of exercise of the warrants. The amount paid at subscription will be adjusted against the issue price of the resulting equity shares.

On conversion, shareholding of the proposed allottees is expected to increase significantly, subject to full conversion of warrants, while calculations assume existing convertible instruments are also fully converted.
Zee Media Corporation also approved the re-appointment of Swetha Gopalan as an independent director for a second term of five consecutive years from August 1, 2026, to July 31, 2031, subject to shareholder approval. Her current term ends on July 31, 2026.
