To raise $200 million through a private placement while adhering to the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) and Basel III capital adequacy norms, here’s a structured approach to our capital raise:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

1. Capital Adequacy Requirements<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Under Basel III, All India Financial Institutions (AIFIs) are mandated to maintain a minimum total capital ratio of 9%, with a minimum Tier-I capital ratio of 7% and a Common Equity Tier-I (CET-1) capital ratio of 5.5%.\u200b<\/p>

IFSCA regulations stipulate a minimum capital ratio of 8% of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets for finance companies.\u200b<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

2. Proposed Capital Structure<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Given your current capital structure:\u200b<\/p>

  • Regulatory Capital<\/strong>: $3 million<\/li>
  • Subscribed Capital<\/strong>: $4 million<\/li>
  • Incurred Costs<\/strong>: $0.5 million\u200b<\/li><\/ul>

    To raise an additional $200 million while maintaining an 8% capital adequacy ratio:\u200b<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) Formula<\/strong><\/p>

    Capital\u00a0Adequacy\u00a0Ratio\u00a0(CAR)=Regulatory\u00a0Capital\/Risk-Weighted\u00a0Assets\u00a0(RWA)\u00d7100<\/p>

    IFSCA requires minimum 8% CAR<\/strong>, which means:<\/p>

    We must maintain regulatory capital equal to at least 8% of our risk-weighted assets<\/strong> (RWA).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Calculation<\/strong><\/p>

    Required\u00a0Regulatory\u00a0Capital=RWA\u00d78%=200,000,000\u00d70.08=16,000,000<\/p>

    So, to support $200 million in assets that are fully risk-weighted, we need $16 million in regulatory capital<\/strong>,<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Step-by-Step Breakdown: Capital Structure to Support $200M Lending<\/strong><\/p>

    • Raise capital to support $200 million<\/strong> in lending (fully risk-weighted assets assumed).<\/li><\/ul>

      Maintain a minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 8%<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Total Required Regulatory Capital<\/strong><\/p>

      This $16 million required eligible regulatory capital<\/strong> to support the exposure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        How Much More to Raise?<\/strong><\/p>

        To reach the required $16M regulatory capital:<\/p>

        • Already Have<\/strong>: $3M (Tier-1)<\/li>
        • Need Additional<\/strong>: $13M<\/li><\/ul>

          We can meet this by raising:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          We can\u2019t raise Tier-2 more than Tier-1<\/strong>, so if we only raise $6M Tier-1 total (adding $3M more), then Tier-2 is capped at $6M.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Optional Enhanced Capital Plan (if we want cushion)<\/strong><\/p>

          We may choose to raise more than $16M to have a buffer \u2014 e.g., raise $20M<\/strong>, and deploy more over time. Basel and IFSCA regulators look favourably upon capital buffers<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
