star housing finance Limited disclosed on 08 May 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, that it has received a letter of intent from Bassinvictus Private Limited. The letter was addressed to the lenders of the company and outlines Bassinvictus's intention to infuse funds and acquire a controlling interest in the housing finance firm.

Proposed Equity Infusion and Stake Acquisition

Bassinvictus Private Limited has expressed its intent to infuse funds amounting to ₹200 crores into Star Housing Finance in the form of equity, subject to necessary statutory and regulatory approvals, in one or more tranches. The key parameters of the proposed transaction are summarised below:

In addition to the primary equity infusion, Bassinvictus intends to acquire a majority stake and buy out the stake of the promoters and ARKFIN Investment and Advisors Limited, described as the single largest investor, through a secondary purchase, subject to all approvals being in place.

Conditions Precedent for Firm Commitment

The letter of intent is contingent upon the agreement of lenders to specific restructuring measures. Bassinvictus has stated that the letter of intent will be converted into a firm commitment document only after lenders agree to the following:

• Restructure the term loan facilities by extending the balance tenor
• Grant a moratorium on interest and principal repayments for the next six months

Upon receiving lender concurrence on these conditions, Bassinvictus Private Limited has indicated it would immediately infuse ₹25 crores into Star Housing Finance in the form of an Inter-Corporate Deposit (ICD). These funds are intended to be used primarily towards clearing pending dues of lenders and payment of statutory dues, if any.

Leadership and Board Strengthening

As part of its commitment, Bassinvictus Private Limited has stated its intention to bring in a new leadership team to rebuild a strong foundation and to strengthen the Board through the onboarding of reputed professionals from the BFSI and allied space. The company reiterated its intent to provide sustainable long-term returns to all stakeholders, subject to the concurrence of lenders and the conversion of the letter of intent into a firm commitment.
