SBICAP Trustee Company Ltd (STCL), acting as a Security Trustee (not a promoter), has released 91,72,561 pledged shares of Wanbury Limited, which equals 27.90% of the company's total share capital. The release was carried out on 25th July 2025. Before the release, STCL held encumbered shares of 99,98,304 (30.41% of capital); after the release, the remaining encumbered holding is just 8,25,743 shares (2.51%). STCL clarified it does not lend or borrow money itself but only holds security on behalf of lenders/debenture holders. This is a routine disclosure under SEBI's Takeover Regulations regarding change in encumbrance, not a change in actual ownership.
This is a meaningful reduction in pledged/encumbered shares, signalling that a large borrowing against Wanbury shares has been settled or restructured, which is generally positive for share price stability as it reduces forced-sale risk. Since STCL is only a security trustee (not promoter), this does not change the promoter group's effective ownership or control of the company.
