Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd on Sunday (August 2) said it is seeking legal advice on the order passed by market
regulator SEBI. | Photo Credit: Dado Ruvic Shares of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd tumbled 13 per cent on Monday
after SEBI prohibited ZEEL from the securities market for two months and its Chairman Emeritus Subhash Chandra and MD
& CEO Punit Goenka for one year over unauthorised pledge of the company's Hyderabad land to secure loans
availed by promoter-linked Essel Group entities.The stock tanked 13 per cent to ₹100.40 on the BSE.At the NSE, the
stock dived 12.37 per cent to ₹100.37.The regulator imposed a total penalty of ₹1.48 crore on them, according to a
150-page final order passed late on Friday.Individually, the regulator imposed penalties of ₹30 lakh on ZEEL, ₹60
lakh on Chandra, and ₹58 lakh on Goenka.The case relates to the execution of a Deposit and Declaration Agreement
(D&A) on December 27, 2018, under which the original title deeds of ZEEL's Hyderabad property were handed over
to Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd (IHFL) as security for loans taken by Essel Home and other borrowing entities linked
to the Essel Group.SEBI noted that the deployment of ZEEL's property constituted a related-party transaction and
the company failed to obtain prior approval from its audit committee, thereby violating LODR (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) regulations.The regulator further observed that ZEEL failed to make necessary disclosures in
its financial statements despite Goenka and Chandra having knowledge that the Hyderabad land had been deployed as
security and the title deeds remained with the lender until June 2020.In its findings against Chandra, SEBI said he
misused his position as chairman by handing over the original title deeds of ZEEL's Hyderabad property to IHFL
after falsely representing that the action had the approval of ZEEL's management."Noticee No.3 being the
chairman of ZEEL, misused his position and authority in ZEEL and handed over the original title deeds of the asset
(Hyderabad Land) of ZEEL to IHFL by falsely declaring that the said action had the approval of the management of ZEEL.
Through such actions, the noticee put the material asset of ZEEL at risk for his personal benefit," SEBI said in
its order.Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd on Sunday said it is seeking legal advice on the order passed by market
regulator SEBI.The company, however, asserted that SEBI's order has no direct bearing on its ongoing ₹2,300 crore
fundraising exercise and it will take all necessary steps to complete the proposed capital raise. Comments Published on
