Key Appointments and Resignations

The meeting commenced at 2:00 PM and concluded at 2:20 PM. All disclosures were made in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Leading Leasing Finance and Investment Company Limited has sold 1,47,27,668 equity shares of aqylon nexus , reducing its stake in the media company from 13.04% to 7.24%. The open market transaction, executed on July 30, 2026, represents a significant reduction in exposure for the leasing firm, which is not part of Aqylon Nexus’s promoter group. This move alters the shareholder structure of Aqylon Nexus Limited, formerly known as Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Networks Limited.

The disposal was disclosed to BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. Leading Leasing submitted the filing on July 31, 2026, confirming that the shares were sold via open market mechanisms rather than off-market transfers or preferential allotments. The total equity share capital of Aqylon Nexus remained unchanged at 25,37,30,560 equity shares of ₹1 each before and after the transaction.

Transaction Details

Prior to this sale, Leading Leasing held 3,30,92,551 shares carrying voting rights, representing 13.04% of the total share capital and 13.04% of the diluted voting capital. Following the disposal, its holding stands at 1,83,64,883 shares, which accounts for 7.24% of both the total and diluted voting capital. The company reported no changes in encumbrances, pledges, or other instruments entitling it to receive additional shares during this period.

What the Numbers Show

The reduction of 5.80% in a single open market transaction indicates a decisive exit strategy or portfolio rebalancing by Leading Leasing. With the stake dropping below the 10% threshold often associated with substantial acquisition disclosures for further increases, the immediate regulatory pressure for future buybacks is reduced. However, retaining a 7.24% stake suggests Leading Leasing may still view Aqylon Nexus as a long-term investment, albeit with reduced concentration risk. The unchanged diluted capital confirms that no convertible securities were exercised or issued during this period, isolating the change purely to equity trading activity.
