Somany Ceramics Limited has announced a timeline extension for the disinvestment of its entire equity stake in associate company Acer Granito Private Limited (AGPL). The company informed stock exchanges on 2nd May 2026 about the revised completion schedule following discussions with the purchasers.

Transaction Timeline Extension

The original Share Purchase Agreement executed on 4th February 2025 stipulated that the disinvestment transaction would be completed within 15 months from the agreement date. However, the company has now agreed to extend this timeline by an additional 9 months from 4th May 2026.

Revised Payment Terms

The timeline extension follows a communication from the promoter/purchasers of AGPL proposing modifications to the payment structure. The purchasers requested a revised payment schedule for the balance consideration along with applicable interest, necessitating an extension of the completion timeline.

Somany Ceramics has agreed to the revised payment plan, subject to compliance with the new payment schedule and terms as mutually agreed between the parties. The company expects the disinvestment to be completed within the extended timeline.

Regulatory Compliance

The announcement was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This update continues the company's earlier intimation dated 15th January 2025, when the Board of Directors initially approved the sale of the entire equity stake in AGPL.

The disclosure requirements related to this divestment under Regulation 30 read with Schedule III of the SEBI Listing Regulations were previously filed with stock exchanges on 15th January 2025. The company has also made this information available on its official website at www.somanyceramics.com .
