"I am a former (outgoing) promoter of the Company having sold my majority shareholding in the Company to the new acquirers who have become promoters of the Company pursuant to the open offer given by the Acquirers.

Details of the share disposal

• Acquirer/Seller: Umesh Vasantlal Modi (acting as seller). No other persons acting in concert were mentioned.
• Shares sold: 237,872 equity shares, each of Rs 10 face value.
• Percentage of total share capital: 2.37 % of the company’s 1,00,20,000 equity shares.
• Mode of disposal: Open‑market sale.
• Date of transaction: 29 June 2026 (the same date as the filing’s signature).
• Pre‑sale holding: 237,872 shares (2.37 %).

The company’s equity share capital remained unchanged at Rs 10,02,00,000, divided into 1,00,20,000 shares of Rs 10 each, both before and after the transaction. Consequently, the diluted share capital also stayed at Rs 10,02,00,000.

Regulatory framework

The disclosure satisfies two statutory requirements:

1. Regulation 29(2) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011 – mandates any person acquiring or disposing of shares that result in a change of 1 % or more in the voting power of a listed entity to inform the stock exchange.
2. Regulation 7(3) of SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 – requires insiders to disclose any acquisition or disposal of securities to prevent misuse of unpublished price‑sensitive information.

By filing both disclosures, Jupiter Infomedia ensures compliance with SEBI’s transparency and market‑integrity norms.

Key facts at a glance

Why this matters for investors

The disposal removes a former promoter from the company’s share register, eliminating any direct voting influence he might have exercised. While the 2.37 % stake is not large enough to affect control, the exit signals a consolidation of promoter ownership among the new acquirers who previously made an open offer. The filing does not indicate any change to the company’s capital structure, dividend policy, or operational outlook. However, the removal of a promoter may affect board composition if the departing individual held any board seat, although the filing explicitly states that he is no longer a director.

From a regulatory standpoint, the filing demonstrates Jupiter Infomedia’s adherence to SEBI’s disclosure obligations, which helps maintain market confidence. No new securities were issued, and the company’s equity base remains unchanged, meaning there is no immediate dilution for existing shareholders.

Conclusion

Jupiter Infomedia Ltd recorded the complete sale of former promoter Umesh V. Modi’s 237,872 shares (2.37 % of equity) on 29 June 2026 via an open‑market transaction. The filing under SEBI’s Regulation 29(2) and Regulation 7(3) confirms that the company has complied with all statutory disclosure requirements. Post‑sale, Modi holds no voting shares and is no longer a promoter or director, leaving the company’s share capital and governance structure unchanged apart from the removal of his stake.
