To consider and approve Buyback of equity shares of the Company.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Companies Act"), the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 (the "Share Capital Rules"), the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014 (the "Management Rules"), as amended, Article 23 of the Articles of Association of the Company, and in compliance with the Buyback Regulations, the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board") at its meeting held on October 8, 2020 has, subject to approval of Members of the Company by way of a special resolution and subject to approvals of statutory, regulatory or governmental authorities as may be required under applicable laws, approved the proposal to buy back up to 74,70,540 (Seventy four lakh seventy thousand five hundred forty only) fully paid-up equity shares of Rs. 5/- (Rupees five only) each of the Company ("Equity Shares") representing up to 24.95% of the total paid-up Equity Share capital of the Company, at a price of Rs. 845/- (Rupees Eight hundred forty five only) per Equity Share ("Buyback Price") payable in cash for an aggregate amount of up to Rs. 631,26,06,300/- (Rupees Six hundred thirty one crore twenty six lakh six thousand three hundred only) ("Buyback Size") (excluding transaction costs viz. brokerage, applicable taxes such as buyback tax, securities transaction tax, GST, stamp duty, expenses incurred or to be incurred for the Buyback like filing fees payable to the Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI"), advisors/legal fees, public announcement publication expenses, printing and dispatch expenses and other incidental and related expenses, etc.), being 20.52% and 20.52% of the fully paid-up Equity Share capital and free reserves as per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial results of the Company as at September 30, 2020 respectively.
Since the Buyback constitutes more than 10% of the total paid-up equity capital and free reserves of the Company, in terms of Section 68(2)(b) of the Companies Act, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the Members of the Company, for the Buyback by way of a special resolution. Further, as per Section 110 of the Companies Act read with Rule 22(16)(g) of the Management Rules and as permitted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide General Circular No. 14/2020 dated April 8, 2020 and General Circular No. 17/2020 dated April 13, 2020 (collectively "MCA Circulars"), the consent of the Members of the Company to the Buyback is required to be obtained by means of postal ballot or by way of a general meeting where the Members are provided the facility of e-voting. Accordingly, the Company is seeking your consent for the aforesaid proposal as contained in the resolution appended to this Notice.
As per the relevant provisions of the Companies Act and the Buyback Regulations, the Explanatory Statement contains relevant and material information to enable the Members holding equity shares of the Company to consider and approve the Special Resolution for the Buyback of the Company's equity shares. Requisite details relating to the Buyback are given below:
(a) Date of the Board meeting at which the proposal for buy back was approved by the board of directors of the Company – October 8, 2020
(b) Necessity for the Buyback
The Buyback is being undertaken to return a part of surplus cash received by the Company, upon the sale of its shareholding in Majesco, USA to the equity Members, in an expedient, effective and cost-efficient manner. The Buyback is being undertaken for the following reasons:
- i. The Buyback will help the Company to return surplus cash to its Members holding equity shares broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing the overall return to Members;
- ii. The Buyback, which is being implemented through the tender offer route as prescribed under
the Buyback Regulations, would involve allocating to the small shareholders the higher of a) number of shares entitled as per their holdings, or b) 15% of the number of shares to be bought back, reserved for the small shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of public Members, who would get classified as "small shareholder" in terms of the Regulation 2(i)(n) of the Buyback Regulations;
iii. The Buyback gives an option to the Members holding equity shares of the Company to either choose to participate and get cash in lieu of equity shares to be accepted under the Buyback offer or to choose not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding in the Company and their share in any dividend which may be announced by the Company, post the Buyback offer, without additional investment.
(c) Method to be adopted for the Buyback
The Buyback shall be on a proportionate basis (subject to the reservation for small shareholders), from all the Members holding Equity Shares of the Company as on the record date to be subsequently decided by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors of the Company ("Record Date") through the "tender offer" route, as prescribed under the Buyback Regulations and the "Mechanism for acquisition of shares through Stock Exchange pursuant to Tender-Offers under Takeovers, Buy Back and Delisting" notified by the SEBI vide circular CIR/CFD/POLICYCELL/1/2015 dated April 13, 2015 read with SEBI circular CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2016/131 dated December 9, 2016, including any amendments or statutory modifications for the time being in force ("SEBI Circulars"). The Buyback will be implemented in accordance with the Companies Act, the Share Capital Rules and the Buyback Regulations to the extent applicable and on such terms and conditions as may be deemed fit by the Company.
As required under the Buyback Regulations, the Company will announce a Record Date for determining the names of the Members holding Equity Shares of the Company who will be eligible to participate in the Buyback ("Eligible Member(s)"). In due course, upon the passing of this resolution, Eligible Members will receive a letter of offer along with a tender offer form indicating their entitlement.
The equity shares to be bought back as a part of the buyback is divided in two categories:
- (a) Reserved category for small shareholders; and
- (b) General category for all other Members.
As defined in Regulation 2(i)(n) of the Buyback Regulations, a "small shareholder" is a shareholder who holds equity shares having market value, on the basis of closing price on the recognized stock exchange in which highest trading volume in respect of Equity Shares as on the Record Date, of not more than Rs. 2,00,000/- (Rupees Two lakhs only). In accordance with Regulation 6 of the Buyback Regulations, 15% (fifteen percent) of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to buyback or number of Equity Shares entitled as per the shareholding of small shareholders, whichever is higher, shall be reserved for the small shareholders as part of this Buyback.
Based on the holding of Equity Shares on the Record Date, the Company will determine the entitlement of each Eligible Member to tender their shares in the Buyback. This entitlement for each Eligible Member will be calculated based on the number of Equity Shares held by the respective Eligible Member as on the Record Date and the ratio of Buyback applicable in the category to which such Member belongs. In accordance with the explanation to Regulation 9 (ix) of the Buyback Regulations, in order to ensure that the same Members with multiple demat accounts/ folios do not receive a higher entitlement under the small shareholder category, the Company proposes to club together the equity shares held by such Members with a common PAN for determining the category (Small Shareholder or General) and entitlement under the Buyback. In case of joint shareholding, the Company will club together the equity shares held in cases where the sequence of the PANs of the joint shareholders is identical. The shareholding of institutional investors like mutual funds, pension funds/trusts, insurance companies etc., with common PAN will not be clubbed together for determining the category and will be considered separately, where these equity shares are held for different schemes and have a different demat account nomenclature based on information prepared by the registrar and transfer agent as per the Member records received from the depositories.
Members' participation in Buyback will be voluntary. Eligible Members holding equity shares of the Company can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of shares to be accepted under the Buyback or they may choose not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post Buyback, without additional investment. Eligible Members holding equity shares of the Company may also accept a part of their entitlement. Eligible Members holding equity shares of the Company also have the option of tendering additional shares (over and above their entitlement) and participate in the shortfall created due to non-participation of some other Members, if any. The maximum tender under the Buyback by any Eligible Member cannot exceed the number of equity shares held by the Eligible Members as on the Record Date.
Under the Buyback Regulations, the Buyback must remain open for a fixed period of 10 working days ("Tendering Period"). During the Tendering Period, all Eligible Members who wish to participate in the Buyback must tender their Equity Shares through their stock broker using separate acquisition window that will be created by the Stock Exchanges. An Eligible Members may withdraw tendered Equity Shares during the Tendering Period. Upon closing the Buyback, the transfer agent and the Company will finalise the allocation to each Eligible Member who validly tendered Equity Shares.
The Equity Shares tendered as per the entitlement by Eligible Members holding Equity Shares of the Company as well as additional shares tendered, if any, will be accepted as per the procedure laid down in the Buyback Regulations. The settlement of the tenders under the Buyback is expected to be done in accordance with the SEBI Circulars. The Buyback Regulations require that the payment for the tendered Equity Shares be made within seven working days of the closure of the Buyback offer. The Equity Shares validly tendered and purchased by the Company will be extinguished within seven days of the last date of completion of the Buyback.
Detailed instructions for participation in the Buyback (tender of equity shares in the Buyback) as well as the relevant time table will be included in the letter of offer which will be sent in due course to the Members holding Equity Shares of the Company as on the Record Date.
(d) Maximum amount required under the Buyback and the sources of funds from which the Buyback would be financed
The maximum amount required for Buyback will not exceed Rs. 631,26,06,300/- (Rupees Six hundred thirty one crore twenty six lakh six thousand three hundred only) excluding transaction costs viz. brokerage, advisors' fees, printing and dispatch expenses, applicable taxes such as buyback tax, securities transaction tax, GST, stamp duty and other incidental and related expenses, being 20.52% and 20.52% of the fully paid-up Equity Share capital and free reserves as per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company as at September 30, 2020 respectively.
The funds for the implementation of the proposed Buyback will be sourced out of the free reserves of the Company (including securities premium account) or such other source may be permitted by the Buyback Regulations or the Companies Act.
The Company shall transfer from its free reserves a sum equal to the nominal value of the Equity Shares bought back through the Buyback to the capital redemption reserve account and details of such transfer shall be disclosed in its subsequent audited financial statement.
The funds borrowed, if any, from banks and financial institutions will not be used for the Buyback.
(e) Buyback Price and the basis of arriving at the Buyback Price
The Equity Shares of the Company are proposed to be bought back at a price of INR 845(Rupees Eight hundred forty five Only) per share ("Buyback Price"). The Buyback Price has been arrived at after considering various factors including, but not limited to the trends in the volume weighted average market prices of the Equity Shares on BSE Limited ("BSE") and National Stock Exchange of India Limited ("NSE") where the Equity Shares are listed, the networth of the Company, book value per share of the Company, tax impact for the Company due to the Buyback and impact on other financial parameters.
The Buyback Price represents:
- i) Premium of 15.4% and 17.2% over the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Shares on BSE and NSE, respectively, during the three months preceding the date of intimation to the Stock Exchanges for the board meeting to consider the proposal of the Buyback.
- ii) Premium of 3.7% and 4.3% over the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Shares on BSE and NSE, respectively, during two weeks preceding the date of intimation to the Stock Exchanges for the board meeting to consider the proposal of the Buyback.
The Company confirms that as required under Section 68(2)(d) of the Companies Act, the ratio of the aggregate of secured and unsecured debts owed by the Company will be not more than twice the paid-up share capital and free reserves as per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial results of the Company as at September 30, 2020 respectively.
(f) Maximum Number of shares that the Company proposes to buyback and the time limit for completing the Buyback
The Company proposes to buyback a maximum of 74,70,540 Equity Shares of face value of INR 5 (Rupees Five Only) each of the Company. The Buyback is proposed to be completed within 12 months from the date of passing of the special resolution approving the proposed Buyback.
(g) Compliance with Section 68(2)(c) of the Companies Act
The aggregate paid-up share capital and free reserves as at quarter ended September 30, 2020 (the standalone audited financial results available as on the date of the board meeting dated October 8, 2020 recommending the proposal of the Buyback) is INR 3,07,696 lakhs. Under the provisions of the Companies Act, the funds deployed for the Buyback cannot exceed 25% of the total paid-up share capital and free reserves of the Company i.e., INR 76,924 lakhs. The maximum amount proposed to be utilized for the Buyback, is INR 631,26,06,300 (Rupees Six hundred thirty one crore twenty six lakh six thousand three hundred only) and is therefore within the limit of 25% of the Company's total paid-up share capital and free reserves as per the audited balance sheet as at September 30, 2020. Further, under the Companies Act, the number of Equity Shares that can be bought back in any financial year cannot exceed 25% of the total paid-up equity capital of the Company in that financial year. Since the Company proposes to buyback up to 74,70,540 Equity Shares, the same is within the aforesaid 25% limit.
