This open offer is in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

The corrigendum, issued by J.P. Morgan India Private Limited, was published in several newspapers, including Financial Express, Jansatta, and Tarun Bharat, on 12 April 2026. The publication aligns with the regulatory requirements to inform public shareholders about the developments in the open offer process.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has advised RBL Bank to amend its articles of association in accordance with specific stipulations.

Consequently, the investment agreement between RBL Bank and Emirates NBD has been amended to reflect these changes.

The open offer, initially announced on 18 October 2025, has undergone several updates, including public statements and draft letters of offer, all of which have been communicated through various corrigenda.
