Promoter Hemanshu Ramniklal Mehta has increased his stake in Alacrity Securities Limited by acquiring 12,17,217 equity shares through an off-market transfer in the nature of a gift. The transaction was executed on September 8, 2026, raising his total shareholding to 5.70% of the company’s voting capital.

The acquisition was disclosed under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. Mehta, who belongs to the promoter group, held 3.09% of the company prior to this transaction. The total equity share capital of Alacrity Securities Limited remains unchanged at ₹46.66 crore, comprising 4,66,60,000 equity shares of ₹10 each.

Transaction Details

No shares were encumbered with pledges or liens following the acquisition. The disclosure confirms that the voting rights associated with the acquired shares are fully vested with the promoter. There were no warrants, convertible securities, or other instruments entitling the acquirer to receive additional shares carrying voting rights involved in this transaction.

Alacrity Securities reported a 28% decline in revenue from operations for FY26, driven by lower trading volumes and reduced other operating revenues. The Mumbai-based brokerage firm posted a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹62.1 crore, down nearly 50% from the previous year.

The company scheduled its 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 30, 2026, to adopt the audited financial statements and approve the final dividend. The Board of Directors approved the date during its meeting on September 4, 2026.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations fell to ₹41,067.78 lakh in FY26, compared to ₹57,007.49 lakh in FY25. The decline was primarily due to a sharp drop in sales and other operating revenues, although profits from futures and options trading turned positive at ₹213.91 lakh against a loss of ₹417.65 lakh in the prior year.

Other income dropped significantly to ₹43.81 lakh from ₹431.76 lakh in FY25, largely due to a reversal in gains from the sale of investments. Finance costs rose to ₹90.67 lakh from ₹62.30 lakh, reflecting higher interest payments on increased borrowings.

Dividend and AGM Details

Shareholders will vote on three ordinary business items at the AGM:

• Adoption of Financials: Receipt and adoption of the audited financial statements for FY26, along with the Board and Auditors' reports.
• Director Re-appointment: Re-appointment of Kishore Vithaldas Shah as a director liable to retire by rotation.
• Dividend Declaration: Approval of a final dividend of ₹0.10 per equity share (face value ₹10) on the issued capital of 4,66,60,000 shares.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Total assets decreased slightly to ₹12,818.44 lakh from ₹13,015.67 lakh. Current borrowings surged to ₹813.09 lakh from ₹319.53 lakh, including an unsecured borrowing of ₹700.00 lakh from a body corporate. Trade receivables fell sharply to ₹646.63 lakh from ₹1,591.19 lakh, indicating improved collection efficiency despite lower revenues.

Cash generated from operations stood at ₹3,386.39 lakh, up significantly from a negative cash flow of ₹3,387.31 lakh in the previous year. This improvement was driven by a decrease in trade receivables and an increase in short-term borrowings.

Corporate Governance Updates

The board meeting also addressed key governance matters, including:

• Determination of the closure period for the Register of Members and Share Transfer Books from September 24, 2026, to September 30, 2026.
• Review and approval of the Directors' Report, Annual Report, and draft notice for the 32nd AGM.
• Appointment of M/s. Jaymin Modi & Co. as the scrutinizer for the 32nd AGM.

Kishore Vithaldas Shah, Whole-Time Director, signed the intimation letter dated September 8, 2026, notifying BSE Ltd. regarding the session.
