XY Ltd., is interested in expanding its operation and planning to install a unit at US. For the proposed project, it requires a fund of $ 15 million (net of issue expenses/floatation cost). The estimated floatation cost is 3%. To finance the project it proposes to issue GDRs. You as a financial consultant is required to compute the number of GDRs, to be issued and cost of the GDR with the help of following additional information. (i) Expected market price of share at the time of issue of GDR is 350 (Face Value 100). (ii) 3 shares shall underly each GDR and shall be priced at 6% discount to market price. (iii) Expected Exchange Rate 84/$. (iv) Dividend expected to be paid is 10% with growth rate of 8%.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Net Issue Size = $15 million Gross Issue = $15 Million / 0.97 = $ 15.464 million Issue Price per GDR in ₹ (350 x 3 x 94%) = 987 Issue Price per GDR in $ (₹ 987 /84) = $ 11.75 Dividend Per GDR (D1) (10x 3) = 30 Net Proceeds Per GDR (987x 0.97) = 957.39 (i) Number of GDR to be issued = $15.464 million / $11.75 = 1.316085 million or 13,16,085 (ii) Cost of GDR to XY Ltd. Ke = (D1 / Net Proceeds) + g Ke = (30 / 957.39) + 0.08 = 0.03133 + 0.08 = 0.11133 or 11.13%
