Horizon Industrial Parks Limited disclosed that its promoters have agreed to covenants in the nature of encumbrance on their entire equity holding, covering 75.4% of the company's share capital. This move secures a term loan facility of up to $480 million availed by the promoter entities.

The disclosure, filed with BSE and NSE on September 30, 2026, clarifies that the promoters themselves have not created a direct pledge on the listed company's shares. Instead, the parent entities of the three promoter companies pledged their holdings in the promoters to secure the facility. The promoters are BREP Asia II Indian Holding Co VI (NQ) Pte. Ltd., BREP Asia II EIP Holding (NQ) Pte. Ltd., and BREP Asia III India Holding Co III Pte. Ltd.

Facility Structure and Security

The encumbrance stems from a facility agreement dated September 28, 2026, involving Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch as the agent and calculation agent. The lenders include Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG, First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC, GIFT City Branch, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Singapore Branch. To secure this debt, the parents of each promoter entity executed security documents pledging 100% of their shares in the respective promoter vehicles.

DB International Trust (Singapore) Limited acts as the offshore security agent for the benefit of the lenders. The total value of the encumbered shareholding in Horizon Industrial Parks was calculated at ₹111,008.5 crore based on the volume weighted average price of ₹51.07 per share as of September 28, 2026.

Shareholding Details

The following table details the promoter holdings subject to these covenants:

Note: The share count for BREP Asia II EIP Holding excludes 5 shares held by nominees.

What the Numbers Show

The disclosure highlights a significant leverage event at the promoter level rather than the corporate level. The amount involved against which shares are encumbered is ₹44,970 crore (converted from $468.6 million at an exchange rate of ₹95.9681 per USD). With the market value of the pledged collateral at ₹111,008.5 crore, the security cover ratio stands at 2.47x. This indicates that the value of the promoter stake significantly exceeds the principal amount of the facility, providing a substantial buffer for lenders. The funds are designated for payments or distributions to parents and investors, on-lending, and transaction costs, indicating a capital restructuring or exit-related financing at the holding company level.
