The company said this was 'important' to reinforce the 'complete disassociation' from its erstwhile promoters -- Malvinder and Shivinder Singh.
In a statement, Fortis said under the accepted offer, IHH would infuse Rs 4,000 crore through subscription to the preferential allotment at a price of Rs 170 per share. The Malaysian firm will then make a mandatory open offer to public shareholders for 26 per cent of the outstanding shares post issuance.
On Wednesday, Daiichi Sankyo's lawyers argued for a stay on stake sale by Fortis, which was opposed by counsels of the hospital chain and promoter entities.
Singh, who was instrumental in building required capabilities in the organisation said his role at Fortis did not allow him to spend time with his family, as the reason behind his resignation.
In its investor presentation, IHH said it wanted to develop Fortis into a market leader.
