Edelweiss Securities and Investments Private Limited holds 57,916,502 equity shares, equal to 89.58% of the IPO company’s pre-Offer issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital. ESIPL is wholly held within the Edelweiss Financial Services Limited group, through EFSL’s direct 9.92% stake and its two wholly owned subsidiaries’ combined 90.08% stake.

Who holds the IPO company’s 89.58% stake?

ESIPL holds the IPO company’s 89.58% stake directly. As of the Red Herring Prospectus date, ESIPL, including through its nominees, owned 57,916,502 equity shares of face value Rs 5 each, making it the promoter with the disclosed dominant direct holding in the pre-Offer capital.

The issuer identifies EFSL, ESIPL, Edel Finance Company Limited and Edelweiss Global Wealth Management Limited as its promoters. The prospectus separates that promoter designation from direct share ownership: other than ESIPL, Edelweiss Rural & Corporate Services Limited and Edelweiss Investment Adviser Limited, no promoter or promoter-group entity held shares in the issuer. The 89.58% figure therefore represents ESIPL’s direct holding, not the sum of four separately disclosed promoter stakes.

ESIPL’s 89.58% holding leaves 10.42% of the pre-Offer equity capital outside its ownership. The supplied pages do not provide a complete shareholder-level split of that 10.42%, although they state that Edelweiss Rural & Corporate Services Limited and Edelweiss Investment Adviser Limited also held issuer shares. No ownership percentage for either entity is provided in these disclosures.

How does ESIPL’s 89.58% IPO stake connect to EFSL?

EFSL owns ESIPL directly and through two wholly owned subsidiaries. ESIPL had 613,485 shares of face value Rs 10 each as of the Red Herring Prospectus date: EFCL held 294,473 shares, EGWML held 258,176 shares and EFSL held 60,836 shares, including one share held by an EFSL nominee.

ESIPL shareholder	Shares	Ownership (%)
EFCL	294,473	48.00
EGWML	258,176	42.08
EFSL	60,836	9.92
Total	613,485	100.00

EFCL’s 48.00% holding and EGWML’s 42.08% holding add to 90.08% of ESIPL. EFSL holds 100.00% of EFCL, including six shares held by EFSL nominees, and 100.00% of EGWML, including six nominee-held shares. EFSL’s direct 9.92% interest brings its direct and subsidiary-held ownership of ESIPL to 100.00%.

The disclosed ownership sequence is therefore EFSL to EFCL and EGWML, as well as EFSL directly to ESIPL, followed by ESIPL’s 89.58% holding in the IPO company. This structure means the issuer’s largest disclosed direct shareholder sits within the EFSL group rather than alongside unrelated ESIPL shareholders.

What roles do the companies in the ownership chain have?

ESIPL is a separate private limited company engaged in trading equity shares, derivatives, debentures and commodities. It also acts as a settlor, sponsor and investment manager to alternative investment funds, or AIFs, which are privately pooled investment vehicles permitted under applicable law.

ESIPL was incorporated on September 4, 2009 as Magnolia Financial Services Private Limited, was renamed Magnolia Commodities Services Private Limited on July 29, 2013, and adopted the ESIPL name on December 24, 2018. The prospectus states that ESIPL had no change in business activities and no change in control during the three years preceding the Red Herring Prospectus date.

EFCL is registered with the Reserve Bank of India as a core investment company, while EGWML is registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India as a portfolio manager. Their respective 48.00% and 42.08% ESIPL shareholdings, rather than their operating registrations, establish their positions in the ownership chain.

EFSL is the listed parent at the top of the disclosed chain. EFSL is registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India as a merchant banker, acts as investment manager to the Edelweiss Multi Strategy Fund, a Category III AIF, and operates through subsidiaries in credit, life insurance, general insurance and asset management.

How concentrated is ownership at the EFSL and ESIPL levels?

ESIPL’s ownership is fully concentrated within the EFSL group because EFSL, EFCL and EGWML together hold 100.00% of its 613,485 shares. At the issuer level, ESIPL alone holds 89.58% of the pre-Offer equity capital, while the supplied disclosure does not quantify the stakes held by the two other named promoter-group entities with issuer shares.

EFSL has a broader ownership profile than ESIPL. EFSL’s shareholding pattern as of September 30, 2026 showed 31.54% held by its promoter and promoter group and 68.46% held by public shareholders, compared with 100.00% group ownership of ESIPL through EFSL and its subsidiaries.

EFSL’s four identified promoters held 16.55%, 4.70%, 3.73% and 2.54%, respectively, as of June 30, 2026. Those percentages are stakes in EFSL, not direct holdings in the IPO company, and the prospectus notes that 375,500 EFSL equity shares bought by Rashesh Chandrakant Shah on June 30, 2026 were created in his demat account after that date.

Has the ownership chain or promoter status changed?

The prospectus reports no change in control of the IPO company during the five years immediately preceding the Red Herring Prospectus date. It also reports no change in control during the preceding three years for EFSL, ESIPL, EFCL and EGWML.

What changed was the issuer’s promoter identification. Under a board resolution dated December 4, 2024, EFSL, ESIPL, EFCL and EGWML were identified as promoters of the IPO company. The prospectus says that, except for EFSL and ESIPL, the current promoters were not the issuer’s original promoters.

The four-entity promoter listing does not indicate four equally sized direct stakes. ESIPL held the stated 89.58% issuer stake, while EFCL and EGWML held 48.00% and 42.08% of ESIPL. The disclosed chain would continue on the same terms only if EFSL retains its 100.00% ownership of EFCL and EGWML and the ESIPL shareholding pattern remains unchanged.

Conclusion

ESIPL is the immediate holder of 89.58% of the IPO company’s pre-Offer equity capital. EFSL is the ultimate group owner of ESIPL through its 9.92% direct stake and the 90.08% held by wholly owned EFCL and EGWML, making the issuer’s principal disclosed ownership block part of the EFSL group structure.

The next ownership point to watch is any later change in ESIPL’s 613,485-share capital, its 89.58% issuer stake, or EFSL’s 100.00% ownership of EFCL and EGWML. The prospectus discloses no recent change in control and ties the four-promoter identification to the December 4, 2024 board resolution.
