  • (iii) Since the Buyback Offer Size is more than 10% of the total paid-up capital and free reserves of the Company, in terms of Section 68(2)(b) of the Companies Act and Regulation 5(i)(b) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, it is necessary to obtain consent of the shareholders of the Company, for the Buyback, by way of a special resolution. Accordingly, the Company is seeking your consent for the aforesaid proposal as contained in the Resolution. Requisite details relating to the Buyback are given below:
    • (a) Necessity for the Buyback

The Buyback is being undertaken by the Company after taking into account the strategic and operational cash requirements of the Company in the medium term and for returning surplus funds to the members in an effective and efficient manner. The Board at its meeting held on February 15, 2021 considered the accumulated free reserves as well as the cash liquidity reflected in the latest available standalone and consolidated audited financial statements as on March 31, 2020 and also as on the date of the Board Meeting and considering these, the Board decided to allocate up to INR 99,99,99,550/- (Indian Rupees Ninety Nine Crores Ninety Nine Lakhs Ninety Nine Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Only) excluding the Transaction Costs for distributing to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company through the Buyback. The Buyback will help the Company achieve the following objectives: (i) optimize returns to shareholders; and (ii) enhance overall shareholders' value.

After considering several factors and benefits to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company, the Board decided to recommend a Buyback of Equity Shares at a price of INR 550/- (Indian Rupees Five Hundred and Fifty Only) per Equity Share for an aggregate amount not exceeding INR 99,99,99,550/- (Indian Rupees Ninety Nine Crores Ninety Nine Lakhs Ninety Nine Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Only). The Buyback is being undertaken, inter-alia, for the following reasons:

  • (i) The Buyback will help the Company to return surplus cash to its shareholders holding Equity Shares broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing the overall return to shareholders;
  • (ii) The Buyback, which is being implemented through the tender offer route as prescribed under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, would involve allocation of number of Equity Shares as per their entitlement or 15% of the number of Equity Shares to be bought back whichever is higher, reserved for the small shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as "small shareholder" as per Regulation 2(i)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations;
  • (iii) The Buyback may help in improving return on equity, by reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to long term increase in shareholders' value; and
  • (iv) The Buyback gives an option to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company, who can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buyback offer or they may choose not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback offer, without additional investment.

The Buyback may lead to reduction in outstanding Equity Shares, improvement in earnings per equity share, and enhanced return on invested capital. The Buyback will not in any manner impair the ability of the Company to pursue growth opportunities or meet its cash requirements for business operations and for continued capital investment, as and when required.

(b) Maximum amount required for Buyback, its percentage of the total paid-up capital and free reserves and source of funds from which Buyback would be financed

(i) The maximum amount required for Buyback will not exceed INR 99,99,99,550/- (Indian Rupees Ninety Nine Crores Ninety Nine Lakhs Ninety Nine Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Only) excluding the Transaction Costs, being 14.13% and 7.47% of the total paid-up capital and free reserves as on March 31, 2020 on a standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company basis, respectively, which is not exceeding 25% of the aggregate of the total paid-up capital and free reserves of the Company as per latest available standalone and consolidated audited financials of the Company as on March 31, 2020.

  • (ii) 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 as may be permitted by the SEBI Buyback Regulations or the Companies Act. The funds borrowed, if any, from banks and financial institutions will not be used for the Buyback.
  • (iii) The Company shall transfer from its free reserves and/ or securities premium account 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.

(c) Buyback Offer Price and the basis of arriving at the price of the Buyback.

  • (i) The Equity Shares of the Company are proposed to be bought back at a price of INR 550/- (Indian Rupees Five Hundred and Fifty Only) per Equity Share. The Buyback Offer Price has been arrived at, after considering various factors including, but not limited to the trends in the volume weighted average prices of the Equity Shares on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited ("NSE") and BSE Limited ("BSE") where the Equity Shares are listed, the net worth of the Company, price earnings ratio, impact on other financial parameters and the possible impact of Buyback on the earnings per Equity Share.
  • (ii) The Buyback Offer price represents:
    • Premium of 30.20% and 34.91% over the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Shares on NSE and BSE, respectively, during the three months preceding February 10, 2021, being the date of intimation to NSE and BSE for the Board Meeting to consider the proposal of the Buyback ("Intimation Date").
    • Premium of 34.10% and 36.28% over the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Shares on NSE and BSE, respectively, for two weeks preceding the Intimation Date.
    • Premium of 34.29% and 34.11% over the closing price of the Equity Shares on NSE and BSE, respectively, as on the Intimation Date.
    • Premium of 30.35% and 30.83% over the closing price of the Equity Shares on NSE and BSE, respectively, as on February 9, 2021, being the day preceding the Intimation Date.

(d) Maximum number of Equity Shares that the Company proposes to Buyback

The Company proposes to Buyback up to 18,18,181 Equity Shares of the Company, representing 1.24% of the total number of Equity Shares in the total paid-up equity capital of the Company as of March 31, 2020.

(e) Method to be adopted for the Buyback

  • (i) The Buyback shall be on a proportionate basis from all the shareholders holding Equity Shares (both physical and dematerialized Equity Shares) of the Company, as on the record date as decided by the Board, through the "tender offer" route, as prescribed under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, to the extent permissible, as prescribed under the "Mechanism for acquisition of shares through Stock Exchange" notified by SEBI vide circular CIR/CFD/POLICYCELL/1/2015 dated April 13, 2015 read with the SEBI's circular CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2016/131 dated December 9, 2016. The Buyback will be implemented in accordance with the Companies Act, to the extent applicable, and the SEBI Buyback Regulations and on such terms and conditions as may be deemed fit by the Company.

  • (ii) As required under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the Company will announce a record date (the "Record Date") for determining the names of the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company who will be eligible to participate in the Buyback.

  • (iii) In due course, each shareholder as on the Record Date will receive a Letter of Offer along with a Tender Form indicating the entitlement of the shareholder for participating in the Buyback.

  • (iv) The Equity Shares to be bought back as a part of the Buyback is divided in two categories:

    • Reserved category for small shareholders; and
    • General category for all other shareholders.
  • (v) As defined in Regulation 2(i)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, a "small shareholder" is a shareholder who holds Equity Shares having market value, on the basis of closing price on stock exchanges in which the highest trading volume in respect of such Equity Shares as on Record Date, is not more than INR 2,00,000/- (Indian Rupees Two Lakh Only).

  • (vi) In accordance with the proviso to Regulation 6 of the SEBI 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 as on the Record Date, whichever is higher, shall be reserved for the small shareholders as part of this Buyback. The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as "small shareholder".

  • (vii) Based on the holding on the Record Date, the Company will determine the entitlement of each shareholder to tender their shares in the Buyback. This entitlement for each shareholder will be calculated based on the number of Equity Shares held by the respective shareholder as on the Record Date and the ratio of Buyback applicable in the category to which such shareholder belongs.

  • (viii) Shareholders' participation in Buyback will be voluntary. Shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company may also accept a part of their entitlement. Shareholders 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 shareholders, if any.

  • (ix) The maximum tender under the Buyback by any shareholder cannot exceed the number of Equity Shares held by the shareholder as on the Record Date.

  • (x) The Buyback from shareholders who are persons resident outside India, including the foreign portfolio investors, erstwhile overseas corporate bodies and nonresident Indian, etc., shall be subject to such approvals, if any and to the extent required from the concerned authorities including approvals from the Reserve Bank of India under Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and the rules and regulations framed there under, and such approvals shall be required to be taken by such non-resident shareholders.

  • (xi) Detailed instructions for participation in the Buyback (tender of Equity Shares in the Buyback) as well as the relevant timetable will be included in the Letter of Offer which will be sent in due course to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company as on the Record Date.

(f) Time limit for completing the Buyback

The Buyback is proposed to be completed within a period of one year from the date of special resolution approving the proposed Buyback.

(g) Compliance with Section 68(2)(c) of the Act

The aggregate paid-up capital and free reserves (including securities premium) as per the latest available standalone and consolidated audited financial statements of the Company as on March 31, 2020 is INR 70,763.9 Lakhs/- (Indian Rupees Seventy Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Three Lakhs Ninety Thousand Only) and INR 1,35,678.2 Lakhs (Indian Rupees One Lakh Thirty Five Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Eight Lakhs and Twenty Thousand Only), respectively. Under the provisions of the Companies Act and the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the Buyback shall be 25% or less of the aggregate of the paid-up capital and free reserves (including securities premium) of the Company as per the last audited standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company as on March 31, 2020 (the latest standalone audited financial statements available as on the date of Board meeting recommending the proposal of the Buyback). The maximum amount proposed to be utilized for the Buyback, is not exceeding INR 99,99,99,550/- (Indian Rupees Ninety Nine Crores Ninety Nine Lakhs Ninety Nine Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Only) and is therefore within the above-mentioned limit.

Further, under the Companies Act and SEBI Buyback Regulations, the number of Equity Shares that can be bought back in any financial year shall not exceed 25% of the total paid-up equity capital of the Company in that financial year. The number of Equity Shares proposed to be purchased under the Buyback i.e., 18,18,181 Equity Shares does not exceed 25% of the total number of Equity shares in the total paid-up equity capital of the Company as of March 31, 2020.
