An extraordinary general meeting would be held on July 7, for obtaining shareholders' approval for raising funds through issuance of equity-based securities to investors by various means, including public or private offerings or qualified institutional placement, Pantaloon said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Earlier this month, the board of directors had approved the said fund-raising proposal.

The amount, not exceeding Rs 1,000 crore, may be raised in one or more tranches.
