Themis Medicare releases 1.5 million pledged shares held by Vividhmargi Investments

What Themis Medicare announced

On 16 July 2026, Themis Medicare Limited filed a disclosure with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) under Regulation 31(1) and 31(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares & Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The filing relates to the release of a pledge on 1,500,000 equity shares of Themis Medicare that were previously encumbered by its promoter, Vividhmargi Investments Private Limited. The release took effect on 8 July 2026, and as a result the promoter now has zero pledged shares in the company.

Details of the pledge release

The promoter’s encumbrance was a pledge, a common form of security where shares are held as collateral. The filing specifies:

• Number of shares released: 1,500,000
• Percentage of total share capital represented: 1.63 %
• Date of release: 08 July 2026
• Post‑event encumbered shareholding: 0 shares (0 % of capital)

The release was executed without any accompanying new encumbrance, lien, or non‑disposal undertaking. The filing does not mention any monetary consideration or related loan repayment; it simply records the removal of the pledge.

Promoter’s overall shareholding

Vividhmargi Investments Private Limited remains a significant shareholder of Themis Medicare. According to the same disclosure:

• Total promoter holding: 24,429,460 shares
• Share of total capital: 26.52 %
• Encumbered portion before release: 1,500,000 shares (1.63 % of capital)
• Encumbered portion after release: 0 shares

No other entities were listed as having encumbered shares. The table in the filing shows Bajaj Finance Limited with “NIL” entries, indicating no pledge or lien on its behalf.

Regulatory filing and compliance

The disclosure follows the format prescribed by SEBI Regulation 31, which requires promoters to inform the stock exchanges and the target company whenever an encumbrance on shares is created, released, or invoked. The filing was addressed to both the BSE’s Corporate Relationship Department and the NSE’s Listing Department, and it was signed by Reena S. Patel, Director of Vividhmargi Investments, bearing DIN 00228669.

The filing date is 16 July 2026, and the event date (release) is 8 July 2026. By submitting the declaration, the promoter complies with the statutory obligation to keep the market informed of changes that could affect share‑holding patterns or the security of the shares.

Key facts at a glance

Why this matters for investors

The release of pledged shares removes a layer of security interest that could have restricted the free transfer of those shares. For existing shareholders, the key implications are:

• Transparency: The filing confirms that the promoter’s shareholding is now fully unencumbered, eliminating any potential concerns about forced sales or collateral calls affecting the share price.
• Control: With 26.52 % of the equity still held by Vividhmargi Investments, the promoter retains a substantial voting stake, but the absence of a pledge means that this stake is not subject to external creditor claims.
• Regulatory compliance: The prompt disclosure satisfies SEBI’s requirement for timely reporting of encumbrance events, thereby maintaining the integrity of the market’s information environment.

No dilution, capital raise, or change in the company’s capital structure accompanies this event; the action solely pertains to the status of existing shares.

Conclusion

Themis Medicare’s 16 July 2026 filing confirms that Vividhmargi Investments Private Limited has released a pledge on 1.5 million of its shares, bringing the promoter’s encumbered holding to zero. The promoter continues to own 24.43 million shares, representing 26.52 % of the company’s equity, with no outstanding security interest. The disclosure satisfies SEBI’s reporting obligations and provides investors with a clear view of the promoter’s current share‑holding status.

"The release of the pledge on 1.5 million shares was effected on 8 July 2026, and post‑event there are no encumbered shares held by the promoter."
