BCP Topco IX Pte. Ltd, the promoter of Mphasis Limited , has confirmed that it has not created any encumbrance on the company's shares during the financial year 2025-26. The disclosure, submitted to the stock exchanges on April 8, 2026, was made in accordance with Regulation 31(4) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. This regulatory filing assures investors regarding the status of the promoter's holding during the specified period.
The declaration explicitly states that BCP Topco, along with persons acting in concert—specifically Blackstone Capital Partners Asia NQ L.P. and Blackstone Capital Partners (CYM) VIII AIV - F L.P.—has not made any encumbrance, directly or indirectly, over any shares of Mphasis Limited. The filing was signed by Yiming Sun, Director of BCP Topco IX Pte. Ltd., and authenticated in Singapore.
While the current financial year saw no fresh encumbrances, the filing reiterated historical disclosures regarding a pledge established in 2021. On August 10, 2021, BCP Asia (SG) Mirror Holding Pte. Ltd., the parent entity of BCP Topco, had pledged 100% of its shares in BCP Topco. This pledge was created in favour of DB International Trust (Singapore) Limited as the security agent to secure term loan facilities of up to USD 1,100,000,000 availed by BCP Topco.
The security arrangement was governed by a Singapore law document dated July 28, 2021. Additionally, covenants under the facility agreement dated July 1, 2021, involving Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch, were noted as being in the nature of encumbrance. The recent declaration clarifies that despite these existing arrangements at the promoter group level, no additional encumbrances were placed on the underlying shares of Mphasis Limited during FY 2025-26.
