DCW Limited disclosed an inter-se transfer of 3.71% of its paid-up capital among promoter group members. The transaction involves gifting shares from joint demat accounts to single accounts, effective on or after October 23, 2026.

The move falls under Regulation 10(1)(a)(i) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011, which exempts transfers to immediate relatives from open offer obligations. No consideration is involved in these transactions.

Transfer details

The total number of shares proposed for transfer is 1,09,54,611. The breakdown of the gift transactions is as follows:

Shareholding impact

The aggregate holding of the Promoter and Promoter Group remains unchanged at 45.59% before and after the transaction. The individual holdings of the acquirers and persons acting in concert (PACs) also remain constant in terms of total share count and percentage, as the shares are merely moving between joint and single demat accounts held by the same family members.

What the numbers show

The largest component of this restructuring is the consolidation of 92,04,242 shares into Vivek Jain's single account, representing 3.13% of the company's capital. This specific tranche accounts for approximately 84% of the total shares being transferred in this disclosure. The remaining transfers are significantly smaller, suggesting a primary focus on simplifying Vivek Jain's direct holding structure while maintaining the overall family control block intact.
