Ironwood Education Limited has successfully met the mandatory 25% minimum public shareholding requirement, a crucial compliance milestone for listed companies in India. This development comes as a result of a strategic share sale by three of the company's promoters.

Share Sale Details

The company disclosed that three promoters - Balaji Raghavan, Manoj Shankar Tripathi, and Nitish Nagori - collectively sold 2,46,977 equity shares, representing 1.64% of the total equity share capital. The transactions were executed on November 4 and 6, 2025, through BSE's designated window mechanism.

Impact on Shareholding Structure

The share sale has resulted in a significant shift in the company's shareholding pattern:

This adjustment in shareholding has brought Ironwood Education into compliance with the Securities Contracts Regulation Rules and SEBI Listing Regulations, which mandate a minimum public shareholding of 25% for listed companies.

Regulatory Compliance

The share sale was conducted in accordance with SEBI's circular dated January 10, 2023, which outlines the "Comprehensive Framework on Offer for Sale (OFS) of Shares through Stock Exchange Mechanism". This framework ensures transparency and fairness in such transactions.

Company's Statement

In its regulatory filing, Ironwood Education stated, "Accordingly, the Company has become compliant with the minimum public shareholding requirements of 25% as mandated under rules 19(2)(b) and 19A of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules 1957, read with Regulation 38 of the Listing Regulations."

Upcoming Board Meeting

In a separate announcement, Ironwood Education has informed that its Board of Directors will meet on Thursday, November 13, 2025, to review and record the unaudited financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2025, both on a standalone and consolidated basis.

Trading Window Closure

As per the company's Code of Conduct for Prevention of Insider Trading, the trading window for dealing in the company's securities will remain closed until November 15, 2025. This closure applies to all Directors, Promoters, Designated Employees, specified connected persons, their immediate relatives, and the Material Subsidiary of the Company.

This strategic move by Ironwood Education not only ensures regulatory compliance but also potentially enhances the liquidity of its shares in the market.

Ironwood Education announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trio Infrastructure Private Limited, has secured a significant financial boost. State Bank of India's Borivali Branch has sanctioned a Rs. 40 crore fund-based term loan to Trio Infrastructure, marking a notable development for the education company.

Security and Documentation

As part of the loan agreement, the lender (State Bank of India) and the borrower (Trio Infrastructure Private Limited) will execute a mortgage deed and other necessary security documents. These steps are standard procedures to secure the term loan and are expected to be completed in due course.

Regulatory Compliance

The company has committed to submitting detailed loan agreement information as required under SEBI regulations in due course.
