Sharp India Limited has reclassified its promoter group after Smart Services Private Limited acquired 75% of the company's total paid-up share capital. Consequently, Sharp Corporation has ceased to be a promoter and is now categorized under the public category, while Smart Services Private Limited is categorized as the promoter and promoter group effective from the date of submission.

The reclassification follows a Share Purchase Agreement executed on April 14, 2026, between Smart Services Private Limited and Sharp Corporation for the acquisition of 1,94,58,000 equity shares. This transaction triggered a mandatory open offer under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition and Takeover) Regulations, 2011. Upon completion of the open offer and the Share Purchase Agreement, Smart Services Private Limited acquired the shares, resulting in Sharp Corporation ceasing to hold any equity shares and losing control of the company. The Board has since been reconstituted to reflect this change in control.

The company stated that all requirements for reclassification under Regulation 31A(10) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, have been satisfied. The intent of the reclassification was disclosed in the offer documents, including the Initial Public Announcement, Detailed Public Statement, and Letter of Offer. The promoters have complied with the relevant clauses of Regulation 31A, and the company has met the necessary compliance sub-clauses.
