- On July 21, 2021, the Company received the initial public announcement dated July 21, 2021 issued in accordance with the Delisting Regulations ("Initial Public Announcement") on behalf of certain members of the promoter and promoter group of the Company (as defined under the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, as amended ("Promoter Group")) viz., Mr Shashi Kiran Shetty, Talentos Entertainment Private Limited and Avashya Holdings Private Limited (collectively "Acquirers") to reinitiate the process and to express their intention to (a) acquire all Equity Shares that are held by public shareholders of the Company (as defined under the Delisting Regulations and to be referred to as "Public Shareholders"), either individually/ collectively or together with other members of the Promoter Group, as the case may be; and (b) consequently voluntarily delist the Equity Shares from the Stock Exchanges by making a delisting offer in accordance with the Delisting Regulations.
-
- Mr Shashi Kiran Shetty and Talentos Entertainment Private Limited, pursuant to their letter dated August 24, 2020, had inter alia expressed their intention to voluntarily delist the Equity Shares in accordance with the SEBI (Delisting of Equity Shares) Regulations, 2009 ("Old Regulations") by acquiring Equity Shares, either individually/ collectively or together with other members of the Promoter Group, as the case may be. Pursuant to the said letter, the board of directors of the Company ("Board"), at its meeting held on September 5, 2020, approved the delisting proposal after having discussed and taking into account various factors including the due diligence report submitted by the merchant banker. Subsequently, the delisting proposal was approved by the shareholders of the Company with the requisite majority, the results of which were published on October 22, 2020.
-
- In the Initial Public Announcement, it was clarified that Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI") has notified the Delisting Regulations which has repealed the Old Regulations and proceeding further under the Delisting Regulations would not be in compliance of the timelines and requisite procedures prescribed therein. Accordingly, the process is being reinitiated under the Delisting Regulations and the Initial Public Announcement was made.
-
- As per the Initial Public Announcement, the rationale for the Delisting Proposal is as follows (as provided earlier on August 24, 2020):
- a) the proposed delisting will align the group's capital and operational structures, streamline the process of servicing the group's financing obligations and significantly improve a range of important credit metrics. As a result, the transaction is expected to support an accelerated debt reduction program in the medium term and, in turn, support the group's highly attractive longerterm growth pipeline;
- b) the proposed delisting would enable the members of the Promoter Group to obtain full ownership of the Company, which in turn will provide enhanced operational flexibility. As the Company will no longer remain listed in India, there will be reduction in dedicated management time to comply
with the requirements associated with continued listing of equity shares, which can be refocused on its business;
- c) the long term business plan involves expanding operations into new geographies and new business activities, which may have different risk profiles, longer gestation periods compared to the current risk profile of the Company;
- d) the proposed delisting will result in reduction of the ongoing substantial compliance costs which includes the costs associated with listing of equity shares such as annual listing fee and fees payable to share transfer agents or such other expenses required to be incurred as per the applicable securities law;
- e) it would enhance Company's operational, financial and strategic flexibility including but not limited to corporate restructurings, acquisitions, exploring new financing structures including financial support from the members of the Promoter Group; and
- f) the proposed delisting is in the interest of the Public Shareholders as it will provide them an opportunity to exit from the Company at a price determined in accordance with the Delisting Regulations, providing immediate liquidity given the heightened market volatility.
-
- The discovered price will be determined through the reverse book building process specified in Schedule II of the Delisting Regulations, after fixation of the 'floor price' which will be determined in terms of Regulation 20(2) of the Delisting Regulations read with Regulation 8 of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 ("Takeover Regulations").
-
- In terms of the Delisting Regulations, the discovered price will be determined as the price at which shares are accepted through eligible bids, that takes the shareholding of the members of the Promoter Group (along with persons acting in concert) to 90% of the total issued shares excluding the shares which are held by following:
- a) custodian(s) holding shares against which depository receipts have been issued overseas;
- b) a trust set up for implementing an employee benefit scheme under the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014; and
- c) inactive shareholders such as vanishing companies, struck off companies, shares transferred to Investor Education and Protection Fund account and shares held in terms of Regulation 39(4) read with Schedule VI of the Listing Regulations.
-
- The Company received a letter dated August 6, 2021 for and on behalf of the Acquirers informing that: (a) the "reference date" with respect to the proposed delisting is July 22, 2021 i.e., the date on which the Company intimated the Stock Exchanges that a meeting of the Board is being convened on August 6, 2021 inter alia to consider and approve/ reject the Delisting Proposal; (b) as per certificate dated August 06, 2021 issued by Shaparia Mehta & Associates LLP, Chartered Accountants (FRN: 112350W/W-100051), INR 148.01/- per Equity Share is the floor price for the delisting offer ("Floor Price"), which is arrived at in accordance with Regulation 20(2) of the Delisting Regulations read with Regulation 8 of the Takeover Regulations.
-
- The Public Shareholders may tender their Equity Shares during the reverse book building process at the Floor Price or any such price above the Floor Price as they deem fit. The members are requested to note that the Floor Price is neither a ceiling nor the maximum price. If the Equity Shares are delisted in accordance with the Delisting Regulations, the remaining Public Shareholders, who either do not tender their Equity Shares or whose Equity Shares are not accepted because the price quoted by them was higher than the final offer price, are permitted to tender their Equity Shares up to a period of 1 year from the date of delisting of Equity Shares and, in such a case, the Acquirers, either individually/ collectively or
together with other members of the Promoter Group as the case may be, shall accept such Equity Shares at the same final offer price at which the earlier acceptance of Equity Shares was made.
-
- The acquisition of Equity Shares by the Acquirers, either individually/ collectively or together with other members of the Promoter Group, as the case may be, from the Public Shareholders will be conditional upon the following:
- a) the Board approving the Delisting Proposal in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Delisting Regulations;
- b) the approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of a special resolution in accordance with the Regulation 11 of the Delisting Regulations and other applicable law wherein the number of votes cast by the Public Shareholders in favour of the Delisting Proposal is at least two times the number of votes cast by the Public Shareholders against it;
- c) receipt of the approval of the Stock Exchanges in accordance with the Delisting Regulations and/ or any other statutory/ regulatory approvals and third party consents, as may be required, in relation to the Delisting Proposal;
- d) the acceptance by the Acquirers (and/ or other members of the Promoter Group, as the case may be) of the discovered price determined by the reverse book building process in accordance with the Delisting Regulations including other rights and obligations in terms of the Delisting Regulations;
- e) the number of Equity Shares being validly tendered in the delisting offer is sufficient enough to result in the delisting offer being successful in accordance with the Delisting Regulations; and
- f) such other terms and conditions as may be set out in the 'detailed public announcement' or the 'letter of offer' to be made/ dispatched to the Public Shareholders in accordance with the Delisting Regulations.
-
- The Equity Shares are also currently 'permitted to trade' on the MSE. Pursuant to the successful delisting of the Equity Shares from the Stock Exchange, the 'permitted to trade' status given to Equity Shares by the MSE shall stand withdrawn.
-
- M/s MMJB Associates & LLP, a peer review company secretary, ("Peer Review Company Secretary") was appointed by Board to carry out due diligence in accordance with the Regulation 10(3) and other applicable provisions of the Delisting Regulations. Further, Board, at its meeting held on August 6, 2021, inter alia took on record the due diligence report dated August 06, 2021 ("Report"), as tabled before them, issued and submitted by the Peer Review Company Secretary and approved and recommended the Delisting Proposal, after having discussed and considered various factors including the Report.

- b) Mr Shashi Kiran Shetty, Talentos Entertainment Private Limited and Avashya Holdings Private Limited and other members of promoter and promoter group of the Company and their related entities are in compliance with the applicable provisions of securities laws in terms of the Report including compliance with Regulation 4(5) of the Delisting Regulations; and
- c) The Delisting Proposal is in the interest of the shareholders of the Company.
-
- Further, the Board, at its meeting held on August 6, 2021, granted approval to the Company to seek necessary approval from its shareholders in relation to the Delisting Proposal in accordance with
Regulation 11 of the Delisting Regulations, Listing Regulations, Companies Act and Management Rules read with the MCA Circular, and any other applicable law. The Company was also authorized to obtain necessary approval of the Stock Exchanges in accordance with the provisions under the Delisting Regulations, MSE (if applicable) and/ or any other statutory/ regulatory approvals and third party consents, as may be required, in relation to the Delisting Proposal.
-
- In terms of Regulation 11(4) of the Delisting Regulations, the special resolution shall be acted upon only if the votes cast by Public Shareholders in favour of the Delisting Resolution are at least two times the number of votes cast by the Public Shareholders against it. Accordingly, approval for the Delisting Resolution is sought from the shareholders, and upon receipt of such approval, the Acquirers (and/ or other members of the Promoter Group, as the case may be) will proceed to make an offer to the Public Shareholders and purchase the Equity Shares at the exit price in accordance with the Delisting Regulations.
-
- The Board recommends the special resolution and places it for consideration and approval of the shareholders of the Company.
-
- Mr Shashi Kiran Shetty, Mrs Arathi Shetty and Mr Adarsh Hegde are concerned and interested in the resolution. Except as provided, none of the other directors or key managerial personnel of the Company or their relatives are directly or indirectly concerned or interested in this resolution.
