Vedanta Resources Limited has Submitted to the Exchange a copy of Disclosure under Regulation 31(1) and 31(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

Vedanta Resources Limited has filed a Regulation 31 disclosure with stock exchanges regarding the release of encumbrance on equity shares of Vedanta Limited held by five of its subsidiaries (Twin Star Holdings, Welter Trading, Vedanta Holdings Mauritius, Vedanta Holdings Mauritius II, and Vedanta Netherlands Investments B.V.). The encumbrance release follows the full repayment and redemption of USD 600 million, 9.25% bonds originally issued in January 2024 by Vedanta Resources Finance II PLC and guaranteed by VRL. The released encumbrance covered 2,204,724,753 shares, representing 56.38% of Vedanta Limited's total share capital. Vedanta clarified that no actual pledge was created on the shares in relation to these specific bonds, but the disclosure is being made because conditions under the Facility Agreement fall within the broader definition of 'encumbrance' under SEBI's Takeover Regulations. Importantly, Note 2 indicates that other encumbrances from previous facility agreements still remain on the same promoter group shareholding, so the shares are not fully unencumbered.
