Dear Sir/ Madam,
Sub: Intimation relating to Credit Rating action
Ref: Regulation 30 and 55 read with Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015
We wish to inform that Jana Small Finance Bank Limited ("Bank") has been informed by its promoters, Jana
Capital Limited ("JCL") and Jana Holdings Limited ("JHL"), regarding the restructuring of their outstanding Listed
Non-Convertible Debentures ("NCDs"). Consequent to the said development, the Bank has also received a
communication from India Ratings & Research Private Limited ("India Ratings") placing the credit ratings assigned
to the Bank's Non-Convertible Debentures and Fixed Deposits on Rating Watch with Negative Implications.
The Bank has been informed by JHL and JCL that the maturity of their Listed Non-Convertible Debentures has
been extended from 30th June 2026 to 31st December 2026 pursuant to approvals received from the debenture
holders and the stock exchange. Repayment is proposed to be made from the proceeds realized from the
proposed monetization of their shareholding in the Bank.
The Bank wishes to clarify that the restructuring pertains solely to the debt obligations of its promoter entities,
Jana Holdings Limited ("JHL") and Jana Capital Limited ("JCL"), and has no impact on the financial position or
operations of the Bank.
In this regard, the Bank further submits the following:
• The Bank is neither a borrower, guarantor nor obligor in respect of the debt obligations of JHL and JCL. There
are no cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions linking the debt obligations of the Bank with those of the
promoter entities.
• The Bank continues to operate independently with adequate capitalization, strong liquidity and normal
business operations.
• JHL currently holds 16.9% of the Bank's equity share capital, which has progressively reduced from
approximately 44% over the years and JHL has not infused any capital into the Bank since June 2022.
• The restructuring of the Non-Convertible Debentures ("NCDs") of JHL has been undertaken pursuant to a
mutually agreed arrangement between the Promoters and its debenture holders, who are private equity
investors, primarily to facilitate an orderly monetization of JHL's investment in the Bank.
• The last sale transaction of JHL was to TVS Motors Limited aggregating to 4.90% of the paid up share capital
of the Bank.
• JHL does not have any nominee director on the Board of the Bank, and likewise, the Bank does not have any
representation on the Board of JHL.
The Bank has further been informed that, upon JHL's shareholding in the Bank reducing below 9.99%, JHL
proposes to seek reclassification from the promoter category to the public category, subject to receipt of the
requisite regulatory and statutory approvals.
The Bank's operations, customer relationships, capital position, liquidity profile and servicing of all its obligations
remain unaffected by the restructuring undertaken by the promoter entities. The Bank remains focused on
executing its business strategy and creating long-term value for all stakeholders while continuing to comply with
all applicable regulatory disclosure requirements.

India Ratings Places Jana Small Finance Bank’s NCDs and Fixed Deposits on Rating

Analytical Approach
Ind-Ra continues to take a standalone view of JSFB to arrive at the rating.
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
Ind-Ra has placed JSFB on Rating Watch with Negative Implications in view of the potential reputational risk and possible
weakening of the bank’s operational and liability franchise due to debt re-scheduling at the non-operating holding entities -
Jana Holdings Limited (JHL; debt rated at IND D) and Jana Capital Limited (JCL; debt rated at IND D). The Rating Watch
with Negative Implications reflects that the rating could be affirmed or downgraded. The agency further notes that there is
no cross-default linkage between debt of JSFB and JHL and JCL or representation from the promoter on the board of
JSFB.
JHL had monetised 4.9% of its stake in JSFB on 22 May 2026, with the proceeds intended to be utilised towards debt
repayment for both JHL and JCL. Post the transaction, JHL holds a 16.94% stake in JSFB and remains classified as a
promoter, while being wholly owned by JCL. As guided by management, JHL is expected to further monetise its stake in
JSFB over the near term, with the proceeds proposed to be utilised towards debt repayments. Upon JHL’s shareholding in
JSFB reducing below 9.99%, JHL intends to seek reclassification such that it is no longer identified as part of the promoter
group of JSFB, subject to receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals. Furthermore, the bank has raised capital
independently since June 2022, with no dependence on the holding company.
JHL and JCL have communicated to Ind-Ra that the maturity date of their outstanding non-convertible debentures (NCDs)
has been extended to 31 December 2026 from 30 June 2026. The agency views the tenor extension as a rescheduling of
debt obligations, reflecting the inability of JHL and JCL to service their debt on the original due date. JHL and JCL are non-
operating holding entities with no independent operating cash flows, and depended on either monetisation of their
shareholding in JSFB or debt refinancing to meet their repayment obligations.
