Buyback Ratio Calculation

The record date for the TCS Buyback is February 23, 2022.

The issue size of TCS Buyback is of 40,000,000 equity shares at ₹4500 per share aggregating upto ₹18,000.00 Crores.

The Buyback aims to :
i) Return excess cash to the shareholders.
ii) Increase shareholder's value in the long term; and
iii) Improve Return on Equity.

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.

The TCS Buyback 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.

Shares tendered figures as on March 11, 3:30pm
Source: Moneycontrol

The company’s buyback has seen participation from 223,875 investors as of 3:35 pm on March 11, which is only the third day of the buyback window. Previously, the highest participation in a buyback by the information technology major was of 195,470 investors in 2020.

The participation has likely been led by retail investors and mutual funds. So far, retail investors have tendered 8.5 million shares out of the 15.2 million shares offered to the company by investors at the end of the third day of the buyback window, according to the data on BSE and National Stock Exchange.
262.2. surendra kumar     Link|March 12, 2022 9:35:52 AM
I am also new to this process and participating for the first time. I found this data, therefore thought of sharing this.

Personally, I still expect AR to be in the range of 40-50%. I think interested retail investors, who wanted to tender their shares, will tender in initial few days. Also, if share price improves and comes in the vicinity of 4000, some people my cancel their tender orders.

I believe experts can comment better based on their experience.

262.3. sdz     Link|March 12, 2022 10:51:24 AM
They mentioned a category as individuals without specifically mentioning as retail investors like they do for IPOs. So i think that 8.5mn shares includes of individual investors below 2lk and above 2lk holding too

Contact your relationship manager and instruct him to place the order. Really very poor customer service by SBI Cap. As per the relationship manager the brokerage for tendering for buyback is 1% of the value of shares tendered. I found it to be ridiculously high an told him to check and confirm it. Again no reply from them???

Entitled ratio ER= Total Buyback Retail shares/total retail shares holding on record date

Acceptance ratio AR= Total Buyback Retail shares/total retail shares tendered

So ER is just an indicator ratio and doesn’t have any effect on AR. Buyback seniors please correct if wrong
252.1. snipperRaj     Link|March 10, 2022 8:43:44 AM
If no of shares tendered are based on ER( no of shares entitled by tcs) would all be accepted ? or would the number of shares will be less than the ER entitled shares in this case?
251. Aaashish   I Like It. 1|  Link|March 9, 2022 6:23:12 PM
To all the investors who participated in TCS

I see many seeking an answer to the question " if they should tender all the shares or less as AR would certainly be less than 50-60%, like tendering half of the shares"

Tender all the shares, donot keep half, that will result in acceptance of max shares

Do not have second thoughts about this

For an ER of 40% previously AR was 100%. Now with an ER of 14% AR will not exceed 35% ideally.....
But at this rate of ER many will back out and thats positive might just increase Retail AR let's Hope for the 50....
But what about single share AR and at what price levels we might see after tender period. Anything below 3100 looks scary.

they will not reject your bid but they will accept part of your shares.
dont worry and just tender all shares based on your requirement which will maximize acceptance of shares on your side.

Nothing harm...All your shares will be blocked from tender date to release date and you cannot sell before that. I think it is better to tender 50% shares as AR will be anyways far lesser than 50% and can sell rest if there is any spike the price.
