Key facts at a glance

Why this matters for investors

The release of the NDU removes a restriction that previously prevented the debenture holders from selling or otherwise disposing of the 36.83 lakh Wanbury shares. From an investor’s perspective, the key implications are:

• No dilution: Since the shares were already issued and merely encumbered, their release does not increase the total number of shares outstanding.
• Potential increase in free‑float: The shares are now free of the non‑disposal undertaking, which could improve the liquidity of Wanbury’s stock if the debenture holders decide to sell.
• No change in control: Catalyst Trusteeship Ltd did not belong to the promoter group and, after the release, holds no voting stake, so there is no impact on the company’s control structure.
• Regulatory compliance: The filing satisfies SEBI’s requirement to disclose any substantial acquisition or release of shares, ensuring transparency for market participants.

Catalyst Trusteeship Ltd, acting as the debenture trustee, released its non‑disposal undertaking on 36.83 lakh Wanbury Ltd shares on 9 July 2026, representing 10.54 % of the company’s equity.
