All the eligible Shareholders of the Company holding either Physical Shares or Demat Shares as on the Record Date can participate in the buyback offer through their Stock Broker.

The eligible shareholder holding the shares in Demat form needs to inform their broker the details of the Equity shares they wish to tender in the Buyback Offer. The shareholder needs to transfer the tendered shares to a Special account of the clearing corporation. The broker, in turn, would place an order on the stock exchange for the buyback.

The eligible shareholder holding the shares in physical form needs to approach their broker with original share certificates and supporting documents. Upon completion of document verification, the broker places an order on the stock exchange and submits the original share certificate and TRS to the registrar.

The tender form and TRS are optional in the case of Demat shares but mandatory in the case of physical shares.

Necessity of the Issue:

The Buyback is being undertaken, among other things, for the following objects:

(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 the allocation of several Equity Shares as per their entitlement or 15% of the number of Equity Shares to be repurchased 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 shareholders" as per Regulation 2(i)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations;

(iii) The Buyback may help in improving return on equity, by the reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to a 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 instead 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.

(v) The Buyback may lead to reduced outstanding Equity Shares, improved earnings per equity share, and enhanced return on equity. 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

The SIS Buyback 2023 offers an opportunity for the shareholders to exit their positions at a premium price. In case you stay invested you would have an increased percentage of shareholding in the company and improved earnings per share. Thus, one should understand the company fundamentals along with one’s need, goals, and risk appetite to decide if one wants to stay invested or participate in the buyback offer.
