The preferential issue allotment remains pending as of the advertisement date. The application for in-principle approval from BSE for the proposed preferential issue was submitted on June 9, 2026, and the requisite approval was received from BSE on August 21, 2026. The expanded voting capital referenced in percentage calculations includes 52,82,731 equity shares to be issued pursuant to the proposed preferential issue, assuming full conversion of warrants. Actual percentage figures are calculated as a percentage of the current equity share capital of the target company, i.e., 37,41,300 equity shares.

The aggregate shareholding of the acquirers and the PACs, assuming full conversion of warrants and full acceptance of the open offer, would be 94.34% of the expanded voting capital. The existing promoters will cease to be promoters and will be declassified from the promoter and promoter group category in accordance with Regulation 31A of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations. The post offer advertisement was issued in compliance with Regulation 18(12) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.
