Edelweiss Financial Services receives shareholders' approval for demerge of wealth management business

Edelweiss Financial Services (EFSL) has received the shareholders' approval for the proposed demerger of its Wealth Management business, paving the way for the listing of Nuvama Wealth Management (NWML). The business was earlier known as Edelweiss Wealth Management.

In 2020, PAG had invested in the Wealth Management business of Edelweiss and the Company had announced the demerger and subsequent listing of its wealth management business. The Company's focus has always been on long term value creation and the demerger is aimed at providing the shareholders with an opportunity to directly participate in Nuvama's growth journey in addition to EFSL's journey. The approval of the equity shareholders received today is another step in that direction.

On the Scheme becoming effective, NWML will allot 1,05,28,746 equity shares of the face value of Rs 10 each to the shareholders of EFSL (as on the record date) on proportionate basis as a consideration for demerger. After listing, Edelweiss would continue to hold 14% in NWML and the shareholders of EFSL would hold 30% of the paid- share capital. PAG would hold 56% in NWML.
