The price is at a hefty premium to DSQ's closing price of Rs 660.10 on the

Bombay Stock Exchange on Friday.

DSQ said at its board meeting on Saturday that it had allotted three million

shares of Rs 10 face value each to New Vision Investment.

"The company has agreed to execute a share subscription agreement with

the said strategic company outlining certain discipline and manner in which the

business of the company will be conducted and also matters relating to the

authorities of the board," DSQ said in the statement.

The firm, based in the southern city of Chennai, provided no details about

New Vision Investment. DSQ said the funds would be used for its working capital

requirements, expansion and for acquiring strategic companies in the United

States.

DSQ had said last month that it had orders worth over $125 million on hand.

Deutsche Bank AG of Germany has chosen DSQ as its global information technology

solutions partner.

It also has a tie-up with the Australian firm Bunnings Warehouse Property

Trust and two US-based firms, Parametric Technology Corp and the e-commerce

company Neuvis.
