EPL Limited has disclosed that 8,44,79,781 shares (26.4% of total share capital) held as encumbrance by DB International Trust (Singapore) Limited, acting as Security Agent for lenders under an offshore facility, have been fully released. The encumbrance was in the nature of a non-disposal undertaking linked to an offshore facility availed by Epsilon Bidco Pte. Ltd. On May 29, 2025, Epsilon Bidco repaid the entire facility amount, prompting Deutsche Bank Group to release the pledge over shares held by Epsilon Pledgeco in Epsilon Bidco and consequently release the encumbrance on EPL shares. After this release, DB International Trust's holding in EPL stands at nil shares.
Positive for shareholders — the removal of a 26.4% encumbrance overhang reduces a key risk factor for the stock, signaling that the underlying offshore debt has been fully repaid and there is no immediate forced-sale pressure from the security agent.
