SEBI has provided a mechanism for acquisition of shares through stock exchange mechanism pursuant to tender offers for the purpose of takeovers, buy back and delisting of securities.
Subsequently, SEBI issued a Circular streamlined the process for acquisition of shares pursuant to tender offers made pursuant to open offers, buy back offers and delisting of securities.
Under the existing mechanism, the shares tendered by the shareholders are required to be directly transferred to the account maintained by the clearing corporation and different tendering processes are being adopted by Depositories. Such transfer involves systematic risk, substantial time and cost.
SEBI, has decided that a lien shall be marked against the shares of the shareholders participating in the tender offers. Upon finalization of the entitlement, only accepted quantity of shares shall be debited from the demat account of the shareholders. The lien marked against unaccepted shares shall be released.
SEBI has issued the detailed procedure for tendering and settlement of shares under the revised mechanism.
According to the SEBI, the above measures shall reduce the systematic risk and risks associated with the movement of securities from the demat account of shareholders to Clearing Corporation account and vice-versa and make the process more investor friendly.
The said revised mechanism shall be applicable to all the tender offers for which Public Announcement is made on or after October 15, 2021.
