Sedemac Mechatronics Limited witnessed a significant reduction in institutional holding as the Xponentia Group sold 28,34,801 equity shares on September 24, 2024. This transaction lowered the group's aggregate shareholding from 15.75% to 9.33% of the company's total voting capital.
The disclosure was filed under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

The total equity share capital of the target company remained unchanged at 4,41,67,500 shares before and after the transaction.
Transaction Details
The Xponentia Group comprises multiple entities including Xponentia Opportunities Fund II, Mace Private Limited, and several individual investors. The following table outlines the specific changes in holding:
| Metric | Before Sale | After Sale | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shares Held | 69,55,200 | 41,20,399 | -28,34,801 |
| % of Total Voting Capital | 15.75% | 9.33% | -6.42% |
| % of Diluted Capital | 15.61% | 9.25% | -6.36% |
The sale involved shares carrying voting rights only, with no encumbrances or convertible securities reported in the disposal. The mode of acquisition for the sellers prior to this sale was not specified in the immediate context, but the current disposal was strictly via the open market.
What the Numbers Show
The reduction in stake from 15.75% to 9.33% indicates a substantial exit strategy by the Xponentia Group, moving them closer to the 10% threshold often monitored for significant shareholder status. Notably, the percentage drop in diluted share capital (6.36%) is slightly lower than the drop in total voting capital (6.42%), reflecting the presence of outstanding convertible securities or warrants that dilute the voting power relative to the fully converted equity base. The total diluted share/voting capital stands at 4,45,53,000, compared to the actual equity capital of 4,41,67,500.
