## Vedanta Demerger Explained – What It Means For You As A Shareholder

Dear Investors,

Vedanta Limited is undergoing a major corporate restructuring and will soon split into multiple independent listed companies. Here’s everything you need to know as a Vedanta shareholder.

## The Split: What’s Happening?

One company becomes FIVE:

**Existing Company (continues):**  
Vedanta Limited – Base metals business (Zinc, Lead, Silver via Hindustan Zinc)

**Four New Listed Companies:**

**Vedanta Aluminium**  
Aluminium operations  
Captive power assets

**Vedanta Power (currently Talwandi Sabo Power)**  
Thermal power business

**Vedanta Oil & Gas (currently Malco Energy)**  
Upstream oil and gas operations

**Vedanta Iron & Steel**  
Iron ore and steel business

Each company will operate independently with its own balance sheet, strategy, and stock market listing.

## What You Get: Share Entitlement

For every 1 share of Vedanta you hold, you will receive:

1 share of Vedanta Aluminium  
1 share of Vedanta Power  
1 share of Vedanta Oil & Gas  
1 share of Vedanta Iron & Steel

You will continue holding your existing Vedanta Limited share as well.

## Who Is Eligible?

You must hold Vedanta shares **on or before the record date.**

**Record Date: May 1, 2026**

Since markets follow T+1 settlement, the last day to buy Vedanta shares to be eligible is April 29, 2026.  
(May 1 is a market holiday)

## Real Example

If you own 100 Vedanta shares:

You keep:  
100 shares of Vedanta Limited

You receive:  
100 Vedanta Aluminium shares  
100 Vedanta Power shares  
100 Vedanta Oil & Gas shares  
100 Vedanta Iron & Steel shares

Total: 500 share positions across 5 companies, representing the same economic ownership.

## Key Dates To Track

April 20, 2026 – Board approved implementation  
**May 1, 2026 – Record date and effective date**  
Mid‑May 2026 – Expected listing of new entities  
June 30, 2026 – Targeted completion timeline

Shares will be credited automatically to your demat account. No action is required from investors.

## Key Points To Remember

A price drop post‑demerger is normal and not a real loss

- Total shareholder value remains the same immediately after the split
- Each business gets separate valuation visibility
- Long‑term returns now depend on how individual companies perform
- Your holding period is preserved for tax purposes
