Impact Assessment

The listing adds 40,00,000 shares to the tradeable equity of Western Ministil Ltd., though a significant portion (12,31,438 shares) remains locked in until end of 2027 and the balance (27,68,562 shares) until end of 2026. The immediate free-float addition is nil since all newly listed shares are subject to lock-in. Market impact is minimal in the short term; dilution effect on existing shareholders becomes relevant only as lock-ins expire in late 2026 and 2027.

Impact Justification

Routine preferential allotment listing notice for a small-cap scrip; limited broader market impact, relevant only to existing and prospective investors in Western Ministil Ltd.
