Vedanta Resources Ltd disclosed encumbrance over 2,20,47,24,753 shares (56.38 percent of share capital) of VAML held by five promoter group entities including Twin Star Holdings, Welter Trading, and Vedanta Holdings Mauritius II. This relates to US dollar 1.75 billion bonds issued by Vedanta Resources Finance II PLC across 2032, 2034 and 2037 maturities, with GLAS Agency Hong Kong as security trustee. Encumbered shares cover 99.99 percent of total promoter holding. No actual pledge created as on the date; the filing is preemptive because bond terms fall within the definition of encumbrance under SAST rules. Bond proceeds will repay existing offshore debt.
Promoter encumbrance covers 99.99 percent of their VAML holding tied to offshore bonds. Signals high leverage and possible dilution or invocation risk for minority shareholders.
