Sical Logistics Ltd has announced that its promoter group will sell 0.12% of the company’s equity to comply with SEBI’s minimum public shareholding requirements. The move is aimed at aligning the company’s ownership structure with regulatory norms, which mandate at least 10% public shareholding for listed entities.
Key Highlights:
-
Regulatory Compliance: The promoter currently holds 90% of the company’s equity, the maximum allowed under SEBI rules. The sale of 0.12% will help maintain compliance and avoid regulatory penalties.
-
Stake Sale Mechanism: While the exact method of sale hasn’t been disclosed, such small divestments are typically executed via block deals or open market transactions.
-
Market Snapshot: As of the March 2025 quarter, public shareholding stood at 10%, with no significant institutional or mutual fund holdings.
-
Promoter Entity: The majority stake is held by Pristine Malwa Logistics Park Pvt Ltd, which is expected to execute the sale.
-
Investor Impact: The move is procedural and unlikely to affect the company’s operations or stock performance in the short term, though it may improve liquidity and float in the market.
This minor stake sale is part of a broader trend among tightly held companies adjusting their shareholding patterns to stay within regulatory bounds.
