The firm is pursuing ‘all available legal remedies’ to retake control of its Karanja Terminal & Logistics Pvt Ltd asset. The operator of a logistics facility in Maharashtra, India had previously struck a deal for a one-time settlement with a consortium of banks which had held the firm’s debt. ‘Despite the company following due process, this settlement was arbitrarily annulled as one of the banks did not sanction it. The company therefore commenced legal proceedings to protect its asset,’ it adds. Mercantile says it offered to redeem its outstanding debt but a committee of creditors ‘is yet to consider or take any action to implement the proposal’. ‘The company also notes that two separate resolution plans have been submitted, by third parties, to the CoC to acquire the asset through the insolvency process. MPL believes these developments further underscore its long-standing concerns that the process appears to have been conducted in a manner intended to transfer the asset away from the company and its international shareholders,’ it says. A court as directed the creditors committee to convene a meeting to mull over MPL’s repayment proposal. ‘The meeting in this regard has been set for Friday 10 April 2026 in New Delhi and the company expects to update shareholders and stakeholders after the meeting,’ it says. ---------- Van Elle Holdings PLC, up 56% at 51.5p, 12-month range 29.00p-52.00p.

The redemption price is £11.94. ---------- MobilityOne Ltd, down 16% at 11.5p, 12-month range 0.70p-12.50p. The e-commerce infrastructure services provider notes recent media commentary, which states that MobilityOne Sdn Bhd has secured a Shariah-compliant Islamic digital banking licence from the Labuan Financial Services Authority. However, the firm says some conditions remain outstanding. ‘Notwithstanding this, the Group is working to meet the required conditions,’ it says. ---------- Zephyr Energy PLC, down 6.4% at 3.18p, 12-month range 2.20p-5.84p. The Rocky Mountain region-focused oil and gas company says it has been targeted in a ‘cybersecurity incident’. The incident involved a payment to a contractor worth £700,000 being transferred to a third-party account. ‘Upon discovery of the incident, the company immediately notified the relevant law enforcement authorities and is working with the corresponding banks and consultants to attempt to recover the diverted funds. The company’s IT systems have been thoroughly assessed by a leading cybersecurity consultant, the incident is contained, and the company’s operations and corporate activity are continuing as normal. The company’s IT consultants continue to monitor the company’s systems,’ Zephyr Energy says. ‘While Zephyr uses industry standard practices in relation to its technology and payment systems, additional layers of security have been implemented as a result of this attack. The company’s board of directors can confirm that the company has more than sufficient working capital to ensure that this isolated matter will not impact the company’s ability to perform its ongoing operations.’ ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
