Centum Electronics Limited disclosed that its French subsidiaries, Centum T&S Group S.A. and Centum T&S (Centum Technologies et Solutions), have transitioned into judicial liquidation proceedings effective July 2, 2026. This development follows the acquisition and takeover of the business operations of these entities by MBDA France and SII. The conversion from judicial reorganization to judicial liquidation was ordered by the Lyon Economic Activities Court in France.

The company received the judgment orders regarding this transition on July 20, 2026. The court's decision marks the conclusion of the restructuring proceedings, which were previously communicated to the exchanges on June 11, 2026. The judicial liquidation process effectively dissolves the legal entities following the transfer of their operational assets to the new owners.

The intimation was submitted to the stock exchanges under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing confirms that the legal proceedings regarding the subsidiaries have now moved to the liquidation phase, thereby removing the entities from the company's operational structure following the successful acquisition by MBDA France and SII.
