Anil Ambani Group firm Reliance Communications today said it has bought back foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) worth Rs 121.22 crore.
The company has repurchased 250 FCCBs worth $100,000 each, aggregating about Rs 121.22 crore ($25 million), RCom said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The zero-coupon bonds have been bought back at a discount of 52.5 per cent over the issue price and they have been extinguished, the company added. Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of India had allowed firms to buy back FCCBs prematurely in rupees if they are at a minimum discount of 25 per cent on the book value.
