Mankind Pharma Limited has released the pledge on 28,280 equity shares of Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited (BSVL). These shares constituted 38.68% of the paid-up equity share capital of BSVL.
The release occurred on August 17, 2026, following the completion of a realignment of security cover for the company's existing Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs). The move removes the previous encumbrance on the BSVL stake held in favor of the Debenture Trustee on behalf of NCD holders.
Security Realignment Details
The company informed stock exchanges that it had received requisite approvals from NCD holders and BSE Limited on July 13, 2026, and July 21, 2026, respectively. In accordance with the terms of the Debenture Trust Deeds as amended, Mankind Pharma created revised security in favor of Catalyst Trusteeship Limited.
This revised security cover is established over tangible and intangible assets of the company and its subsidiaries. The new security structure replaces the earlier pledge on the BSVL shares.
| Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
| Shares Released | 28,280 |
| Stake Percentage | 38.68% of BSVL |
| New Security Cover | 1.26 times outstanding NCDs |
| Trustee | Catalyst Trusteeship Limited |
The revised security cover stands at 1.26 times the amount of outstanding NCDs as on date. Consequently, no shares of BSVL are now under pledge for these NCDs.
Regulatory Compliance
The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 and Regulation 51 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. It also complies with the SEBI (Issue and Listing of Non-Convertible Securities) Regulations, 2021.
Hitesh Kumar Jain, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, signed the intimation to the exchanges.
