Newspaper Publication regarding special window for re-lodgement of transfer requests and dematerialization of physical shares.

HB Leasing & Finance Company has informed the stock exchange about a newspaper advertisement it published on February 14, 2026, in Business Standard (English and Hindi editions). The ad notifies shareholders about a SEBI-mandated special window for re-lodging share transfer requests that were earlier rejected, returned, or left unprocessed due to documentation or other deficiencies, specifically for transfers lodged before the April 1, 2019 deadline. This one-year window runs from February 5, 2026 to February 4, 2027, based on SEBI circular dated January 30, 2026. Eligible shareholders must submit their requests along with required documents to the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, RCMC Share Registry Private Limited, in New Delhi. Any shares processed under this window will be issued only in dematerialized form and will carry a 1-year lock-in from the date of registration, meaning they cannot be sold, pledged, or transferred during that period. Transferees must also hold a demat account and provide a Client Master List copy.
