Dish TV on Monday said that the disclosures filed by Yes Bank with the stock exchanges over the 24.19% acquisition in Dish TV contained “incorrect facts.” The second largest Direct-to-Home (DTH) operator in India in a filing with the stock exchanges said that it has not defaulted on any payment obligation to Yes Bank. Crucially, the DTH operator said that “no shares have been pledged by the Promoters of Dish TV or any other entity for the loans availed by Dish TV from Yes Bank.” Further, Dish TV said that the Yes Bank disclosure on shares acquired on invocation of pledge is an “incorrect statement” as the DTH operator has not pledged the shares.
