How to read this
This is a change-in-control event: a new entity, Skybridge Interactive LLP, becomes a promoter holding 62.29%. A change of control is a structural event, and the update itself links it to a forthcoming reconstitution of the Board and Key Managerial Personnel. The update records what has been completed (the first tranche) and what is agreed but not yet completed (the balance 65,00,000 shares), with the outcome of the board meeting to follow separately.
Both the SPA date and the date the first tranche was effected in depository records are stated in the update.
