SAB Events board meets July 25 to cut shares 100:5

Board meeting called to implement NCLT-approved plan

SAB Events & Governance Now Media Limited has scheduled a board meeting for Saturday, July 25, 2026, to implement a Resolution Plan approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench-I. The company said the plan was sanctioned under Section 54L read with Section 31 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The NCLT order was passed on July 10, 2026, and the company received the certified copy on July 21, 2026.

The implementation of the resolution plan is the primary agenda item for the July 25 meeting. The board’s actions matter for shareholders because the plan explicitly restructures equity capital. It includes cancellation of promoter-held shares and a reduction of public shareholding in a defined ratio. The company has also indicated that record dates will be set to execute these corporate actions in line with SEBI regulations.

What the board will consider on July 25

The company has outlined two major share-capital actions for approval. First, the board will consider and approve the cancellation and extinguishment of existing equity shares held by the promoters. This step will reduce the existing equity share capital.

Second, the board will consider the reduction of existing equity shares held by public shareholders. This reduction will be carried out in a ratio of 100:5, as provided in the approved Resolution Plan. The company has indicated that separate record dates will be fixed for the promoter cancellation and for the public shareholder reduction.

The board meeting notice follows an intimation submitted to the stock exchanges under Regulation 29 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Record dates to be fixed under SEBI LODR framework

For both the promoter-share cancellation and the public-share reduction, the directors plan to fix record dates. The company referenced Regulation 42 of the SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015, along with applicable SEBI and stock exchange circulars, as the compliance framework for determining the record date.

Record dates are operationally important because they define which shareholders are eligible to be impacted by the corporate action. In share reductions and cancellations, record dates are used by exchanges and depositories to process adjustments to holdings. The company has not disclosed the record dates in the announcement, stating that they will be fixed by the board.

The 100:5 public share reduction, explained

The resolution plan provides for a reduction of existing public shareholding in a ratio of 100:5. In practical terms, this means that for every 100 existing shares held, a shareholder’s holding will be reduced to 5 shares, subject to the mechanics specified in the plan and corporate filings.

The company has positioned this as part of the capital clean-up under the NCLT-approved restructuring. At the same time, it has separately stated that promoter equity will be cancelled and extinguished. Together, these steps indicate a material reshaping of the pre-resolution share base ahead of fresh issuance to new investors under the plan.

Funding infusion and the post-resolution cap table shift

The NCLT-approved resolution plan includes a funding infusion of ₹32.63 crore (also cited as about ₹32.625 crore in the plan description). The funding is to be brought in through Sri Adhikari Brothers Assets Holding Pvt. Ltd., Sri Adhikari Brothers Digital Network Pvt. Ltd., and other strategic and financial investors.

The plan documentation also sets out security issuance terms. Sri Adhikari Brothers Assets Holding will subscribe to up to 1.2 million equity shares of the post-resolution equity at a fully diluted basis at an issue price not less than INR 22.50 per share. In addition, unrelated strategic and financial investors will infuse capital through the issuance and allotment of equity shares and convertible share warrants in exchange for up to 13.30 million equity shares of post-resolution equity in the corporate debtor.

The plan also provides for settlement of the financial debt of INR 45.35 million (about ₹4.535 crore). The company has described the broader objective as paying obligations under the plan and supporting business rebuilding.

Merger plan and proposed new corporate identity

Alongside the equity restructuring and funding, the resolution plan includes a scheme of amalgamation. Sri Adhikari Brothers Digital Network Private Limited (SABDNPL) is proposed to merge into SAB Events & Governance Now Media Limited.

The merger is stated to be subject to legal and regulatory processes under the Companies Act, 2013. Post-merger, the company is proposed to be renamed “Sri Adhikari Brothers Digital Network Limited.” The plan also includes a specific share exchange ratio: shareholders of Sri Adhikari Brothers Digital Network will receive 436 equity shares of SAB Events for every 100 equity shares held in the former, pursuant to the amalgamation.

Creditor payouts and signals of financial stress

Under the resolution plan, operational creditors are to receive 100% settlement. Financial creditors, as cited in the plan summary, are to receive 44% as per the approved scheme.

The company’s financial position prior to the resolution process was described as stressed. It was stated that current liabilities exceeded current assets by 4.70 times as of March 31, 2025. The pre-packaged insolvency route and the subsequent NCLT approval are positioned as the pathway to move out of insolvency proceedings and restore business continuity.

The resolution plan was unanimously approved by the Committee of Creditors on 06.02.2026. It was also stated that the resolution became effective on 11.07.2026.

Market reaction and listing continuity

The company stated that its listing on BSE and NSE will continue. The successful resolution applicants have undertaken to restore and maintain minimum public shareholding of 25%.

In market trading around the development, shares of SAB Events ended at INR 9.20 on the National Stock Exchange, up 4.9% from the previous day, according to the report citing the NCLT approval.

Earlier board meeting: audited results and trading window closure

Separately, the company had also announced a board meeting scheduled for Friday, May 29, 2026, to consider and approve audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026.

It also disclosed trading window details for insiders: the trading window closed on April 01, 2026, and was to reopen 48 hours after the results are declared.
