Regulatory Compliance Disclosure

HB Stockholdings Limited has formally notified both BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited that it does not qualify as a 'Large Corporate' under the criteria established by SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/DDHS/CIR/P/2018/144 dated 26th November, 2018 and SEBI/HO/DDHS/DDHS-POD1/P/CIR/2023/172 dated 19th October, 2023.

As a result, the company is exempt from the mandatory framework requirements for fund raising through debt securities issuance that apply to Large Corporates. Specifically, the requirement to file Initial Disclosure under this framework (as specified in the Annexures to the Circulars) is not applicable to the company.

The disclosure was signed by Pooja Jain, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer (Membership No. F11719), and requests both exchanges to formally record this non-applicability status.
