Bohra Industries has reclassified Mr. Andar Bonumalla from the 'Promoter and Promoter Group' category to the 'Public' category following the completion of an open offer by Mark AB Capital Private Limited. The reclassification was disclosed to the National Stock Exchange on July 20, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 31A of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
The open offer made by the acquirer was completed on April 16, 2026, which marked the actual date of credit of equity shares into the designated Demat Account of the Acquirer. This action was undertaken in terms of the Letter of Offer dated July 23, 2025, filed with the exchange and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.
The intention to reclassify the promoter was explicitly stated in the Letter of Offer dated July 23, 2025. The document specified that the promoters intended to relinquish management control in favor of the acquirer and cease to be promoters, thereby declassifying as public shareholders in accordance with Regulation 31A of the SEBI LODR Regulations.
Under Regulation 31A(10) of the SEBI LODR Regulations, where the intention to seek reclassification is disclosed in the Letter of Offer, the reclassification must be disclosed to the exchange within 24 hours of the open offer's completion. Bohra Industries stated that the disclosure was inadvertently missed and attributed the delay to technical reasons rather than any mala fide intent to withhold information.
