Public shareholder position

The pre-offer shareholding of public shareholders stood at 15,71,136 shares, representing 41.99% of the fully diluted equity share capital.

Regulatory and transaction notes

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.

Upon consummation of the underlying transaction and subject to compliance with applicable SEBI regulations, the acquirers will acquire and exercise control over Parmax Pharma. The acquirers, PAC 2, and PAC 9 will be classified as promoters of the target company, while PAC 1, PAC 3, PAC 4, PAC 5, PAC 6, PAC 7, PAC 8, and PAC 10 will be classified as members of the promoter group. 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.

The company has received undertakings from the erstwhile promoters confirming compliance with conditions under Regulation 31A(3) of the SEBI LODR Regulations, including that they do not hold more than 10% voting rights, do not exercise control, have no special rights, are not represented on the board, do not act as key managerial personnel, are not wilful defaulters, and are not fugitive economic offenders.
