The filing confirms that Bhumit Vinodbhai Patel acquired 42,166 equity shares, representing 0.38 % of the company’s diluted share capital. The acquisition was effected by way of allotment pursuant to a Scheme of Amalgamation with U R Energy (India) Private Limited.

"Acquisition of 42,166 (0.38 %) equity shares of Jhaveri Credits & Capital Ltd by way of allotment pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation."

The filing was made on 30 June 2026 and recorded by BSE on 6 July 2026.

Details of the acquisition

• Acquirer: Bhumit Vinodbhai Patel (no prior shareholding in the Target).
• Number of shares acquired: 42,166 shares of Rs 10 each.
• Percentage of total equity: 0.38 % of the diluted share capital.
• Method of acquisition: Allotment of shares under a Scheme of Amalgamation between Jhaveri Credits & Capital Ltd and U R Energy (India) Private Ltd.
• Share‑exchange ratio: 253 shares of Jhaveri Credits & Capital Ltd were issued for every 500 shares held in U R Energy (India) Private Ltd by the transferor.
• Legal basis: The scheme was approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench, with a certified copy of the order dated 16 March 2026. The amalgamation was carried out under Sections 230‑232 of the Companies Act, 2013.
• Date of acquisition: 29 June 2026, as per the disclosure.

The filing does not disclose any monetary consideration paid for the shares, stating the price field as “Not Applicable”. This is typical for share‑swap arrangements where the consideration is the exchange of shares rather than cash.

Regulatory framework

The disclosure falls under Regulation 10(6) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011, which requires reporting of acquisitions made under an exemption from the open‑offer requirement. The exemption invoked is Regulation 10(l)(d)(ii), which allows an acquirer to avoid making an open offer when the acquisition is made by way of allotment pursuant to a scheme of amalgamation and the total shareholding post‑transaction does not exceed the threshold that would trigger an open offer (typically 25 %).

Key regulatory points from the filing:

• The acquisition is exempt from an open offer because it is part of a court‑approved amalgamation scheme.
• No separate disclosure under Regulation 10(5) was required, as indicated by the “Not Applicable” entries in the filing.
• The filing satisfies the timeline requirement, having been submitted within the period prescribed by the regulations.

Key facts at a glance

Why this matters for investors

The filing provides transparency on a non‑dilutive share acquisition. Since the shares were allotted as part of a merger, existing shareholders’ proportional ownership is unchanged; the total number of shares outstanding increases only by the amount allotted to the acquirer, which is reflected in the 0.38 % post‑transaction holding. The exemption from an open offer indicates that the transaction does not cross the 25 % threshold that would otherwise compel the acquirer to make a public offer to remaining shareholders. Consequently, there is no immediate dilution pressure on existing shareholders, and the capital structure remains largely unchanged.

For investors, the key considerations are:

• Shareholding concentration: Patel’s stake remains marginal, unlikely to influence control.
• Corporate restructuring: The amalgamation with UR Energy (India) Private Ltd may bring operational synergies, but the filing does not elaborate on business impact.
• Regulatory compliance: The timely Reg 10(6) filing demonstrates adherence to SEBI’s takeover rules, reducing regulatory risk.

Conclusion

Jhaveri Credits & Capital Ltd has formally disclosed that Bhumit Vinodbhai Patel acquired 42,166 shares (0.38 % of equity) through an allotment linked to a court‑approved amalgamation with UR Energy (India) Private Ltd. The transaction is exempt from the mandatory open‑offer requirement under SEBI Regulation 10(l)(d)(ii) and was reported within the prescribed timeline. While the acquisition does not materially alter the company’s shareholding pattern, it reflects ongoing restructuring activity that investors should monitor for any future operational or governance implications.
