Ace Software Exports Limited completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity share capital of QeApps Private Limited for ₹12,00,00,000 (Rupees Twelve Crore) in cash, making it a wholly owned subsidiary, and invested an additional ₹1,00,00,000 in QeLearn Private Limited and ₹7,00,00,000 in QeMFG Private Limited, all funded from Rights Issue proceeds. The QeApps acquisition is a related party transaction because certain Promoter Group members hold shares in the target, though it was reportedly done at arm's length based on a valuation report. Reported turnover is mixed: QeApps grew from ₹65 Lakh to ₹95 Lakh (about +46%), QeLearn declined from ₹100.66 Lakh to ₹123.47 Lakh (about +23% in FY26 but still well below its ₹197.88 Lakh in FY24), and QeMFG reported ₹94.78 Lakh in FY26 versus nil in FY25.

• · The QeApps acquisition is a related party transaction because certain Promoter and Promoter Group members are shareholders of QeApps Private Limited

Sudarshan Europe B.V. and its persons acting in concert (Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited, Sudarshan Switzerland HLD1 AG and Sudarshan Switzerland HLD2 AG, formerly Heubach entities) have taken a controlling stake in Heubach Colorants India Limited through a series of indirect acquisitions. Their combined holding rose from nil to 17.80% after the March 1, 2025 indirect acquisition, reached 54.36% after the March 3, 2025 completion of the Global Pigment Business acquisition, and stood at 15.89% (36,68,036 shares) after a 2025 open offer at Rs. 602.03 per share. The filings show the holding fell from the 54.36% peak to 15.89% in the open offer disclosure, though the filing does not state the reason for this reduction, and the open offer is described as covering up to 26%, so the reduced figure is not a full acquisition of that 26% tranche.

• · Indirect acquisition on March 1, 2025 was via transfer of Heubach Holding Switzerland AG's entire shares in Heubach Ebito Chemiebeteiligungen, making Sudarshan Europe B.V. its holding company
• · The March 3, 2025 acquisition followed Purchase and Transfer Agreement and Sale and Purchase Agreement dated October 11, 2024
• · The October 2025 open offer shares were acquired at Rs. 602.03 per share under Regulations 3(1), 4 and 5(1) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations
• · The Sudarshan Switzerland entities are former Heubach names, so the PAC structure was restructured after the acquisition
• · The acquirer and PACs are classified as Promoter/Promoter group in the October 2025 filing, while the earlier filings stated 'No'
• · The filing does not explain the drop from 54.36% to 15.89%, and no explanation is given in the document for the difference between the 26% open offer and the 15.89% shown
