Previous Acquisitions and Investments

This latest investment builds upon Ventive Hospitality's earlier strategic moves in acquiring Soham Leisure Ventures. The company previously acquired a 76% equity stake in Soham Leisure Ventures, which operates Hilton Goa Resort, with the acquisition becoming effective on October 16, 2025.

Target Company Profile

Soham Leisure Ventures Private Limited, incorporated on August 2, 2011, operates in the hospitality industry with its primary operations based in Goa. The company maintains a strong financial foundation with an authorized capital of ₹30.00 crores divided into 30,00,000 equity shares of ₹100.00 each, and a paid-up capital of ₹29.56 crores.

Financial Performance Trends

Soham Leisure Ventures has demonstrated consistent growth in its financial performance over the past three years. The company's turnover progression shows a positive trajectory, reflecting the strength of its hospitality operations.

Regulatory Compliance

The investment has been disclosed under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. As Soham Leisure Ventures is now a subsidiary of Ventive Hospitality, this transaction constitutes a related party transaction. The company has confirmed that no governmental or regulatory approvals were required for this acquisition, and the subscription of OCDs was completed at face value without any premium or discount.

Ventive Hospitality Ltd. will be in focus on Friday, December 29, as its one-year shareholder lock-in period comes to an end, potentially creating significant trading activity in the stock.

Major Share Unlock Details

According to Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research, the company will witness the conclusion of its one-year shareholder lock-in period in today's trading session. This development will make a substantial portion of the company's equity available for trading.

Current Shareholding Structure

The company's ownership structure reveals a concentrated promoter holding that exceeds regulatory requirements. At the end of the September quarter, promoters maintained a dominant position in the company's equity structure.

The promoter holding of 88.98% is significantly above the Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) norms, indicating potential future dilution requirements. Public shareholding remains minimal at just 11.02% of the total equity.

Stock Performance and Valuation

Ventive Hospitality shares closed little changed on Friday at ₹720.00 per share. The current trading price reflects a premium to the company's initial public offering price.

Important Considerations

It is crucial to note that the end of the shareholder lock-in period does not automatically result in all unlocked shares being sold in the open market. The conclusion of the lock-in period merely makes these shares eligible for trading, providing shareholders with the option to sell if they choose to do so. The actual impact on stock price and trading volumes will depend on the selling intentions of the locked-in shareholders and prevailing market conditions.
