SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited, a leading player in the processed egg products industry, has announced a change in its promoter shareholding pattern through a disclosure made under Regulation 29(2) of SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The disclosure was submitted on August 25, 2025 to both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).

As per the filing, promoter SKM Shree Shivkumar has increased his stake in the company by acquiring 31,177 equity shares through open market transactions on August 22, 2025. With this purchase, his holding has risen from 1,18,75,139 shares (45.10 percent) to 1,19,06,316 shares (45.22 percent) of the company’s total shareholding.

The company’s total equity share capital remains unchanged at 2,63,30,000 shares, meaning that the increase in promoter holding has occurred solely due to the open market acquisition of additional shares.

This transaction, though relatively modest in size, is significant as it reflects the promoter’s continued confidence in the company’s growth and long-term prospects. Promoter buying is generally seen by investors as a positive signal, as it indicates that those closest to the company’s operations believe in its future performance and intrinsic value.

The disclosure also underlines the company’s compliance with SEBI’s stringent regulations regarding transparency in shareholding patterns. Under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI SAST Regulations, acquirers, whether promoters or large investors, are required to disclose any substantial acquisition or sale of shares that impacts their holding beyond certain thresholds. Such filings are necessary to maintain market transparency, protect minority shareholders, and prevent insider information misuse.

The details of the acquisition are as follows:

• Name of the Target Company (TC): SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited

• Acquirer: SKM Shree Shivkumar

• Category: Promoter

• Mode of Acquisition: Open Market

• Shares acquired: 31,177

• Pre-acquisition holding: 1,18,75,139 shares (45.10%)

• Post-acquisition holding: 1,19,06,316 shares (45.22%)

• Total equity share capital: 2,63,30,000 shares

The increment of 0.12 percent in shareholding may seem marginal, but in a company with significant promoter holding, even small acquisitions can have meaningful implications. Every increase strengthens the promoter’s grip over the company while also demonstrating long-term commitment.

For shareholders and investors, this move could potentially be interpreted as a bullish indicator. When promoters increase their stake, it often sends a message of trust in the company’s fundamentals, earnings potential, and growth trajectory. It also assures the market that the promoters are aligned with shareholder interests, as they are directly investing their capital into the business.

SKM Egg Products is known for being one of the largest exporters of egg powder and related products from India, serving multiple international markets. The company has carved out a niche for itself by catering to both domestic and global demand with high-quality processed egg products. In this context, the promoter’s move to increase holdings may suggest optimism about future expansion, exports growth, and financial performance.

The filing also clarifies that the shares were acquired purely through the open market route, without any preferential allotment, rights issue, or inter-se promoter transfers. This is important for investors as open market transactions reflect genuine buying activity driven by market dynamics, unlike structured deals that may not always reflect market valuation.

From a regulatory perspective, this disclosure ensures that investors remain fully informed about changes in shareholding that may impact control, decision-making, or voting power within the company. With the promoter’s stake now at 45.22 percent, it continues to hold a dominant influence in shareholder resolutions, voting outcomes, and corporate governance decisions.

Going forward, market analysts may closely monitor whether the promoter continues to accumulate shares, as sustained promoter buying can tighten stock supply, increase investor interest, and potentially influence price movement. For now, this acquisition reinforces a positive outlook for SKM Egg Products at a time when the processed food industry in India is experiencing steady demand growth both domestically and globally.

In conclusion, the increase in promoter holding by SKM Shree Shivkumar to 45.22 percent reflects both confidence in the company’s fundamentals and adherence to SEBI’s governance norms. The open market acquisition of 31,177 shares strengthens investor trust and signals long-term commitment to growth. For shareholders, this development serves as a reminder that promoter actions often provide valuable insights into a company’s prospects, making this update an important milestone in SKM Egg Products’ corporate journey.
