Aarti Drugs Buyback 2024 vs Ladderup Finance Buyback 2024

The Company is proposing the Buyback to service the equity more efficiently. Additionally, the Company’s management strives to increase equity shareholder's value and the Buyback would result in amongst other things:

1. The Buyback will help the Company to return surplus cash to its shareholders holding Equity Shares;
2. The Buyback is generally expected to improve return on equity through the distribution of cash and improve earnings per share by a reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to a long-term increase in shareholders’ value;
3. The Buyback gives an option to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company, either to sell their Equity Shares and receive cash or not to sell their Equity Shares and get a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback offer, without additional investment; and
4. The Buyback, which is being implemented through the tender offer as prescribed under the Buyback Regulations, would involve a minimum reservation of 15% for Small Shareholders and allocation of a higher number of shares as per their entitlement or 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 shareholders, who would be classified as Small Shareholders.

The Company is proposing the Buyback to service the equity more efficiently. Additionally, the Company's management strives to increase the value of equity shareholders.
After considering several factors and benefits to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company, the Board decided to approve Buyback of up to 25,00,000 (Twenty Five Lakhs) Equity Shares of face value of 10 (Rupees Ten) each for 44/- (Rupees Forty Four only) per Equity Share for an aggregate amount not exceeding 11,00,00,000 (Rupees Eleven Crores Only) excluding the Transaction Costs, for distributing cash to the eligible shareholders. The Buyback is being undertaken, inter alia, for the following
reasons:
i) The Buyback will help the Company to return surplus funds to its shareholders holding Equity Shares broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby enhancing the overall return to shareholders;
ii) The Buyback will help the Company to optimise the capital structure;
iii) 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 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 get classified as "small shareholder" as per Regulation 2(1)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations. After accepting the equity shares tendered based on entitlement, equity shares left to be bought back, if any in one category shall first be accepted, in proportion to the equity shares tendered over and above their entitlement in the offer by equity shareholders in that category and thereafter from equity shareholders who have tendered over and above their entitlement in other category.
iv) The Buyback may help in improving financial ratios like earning per share, return on capital employed and return on equity, by reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to long term increase in shareholders' value; and
v) The Buyback gives an option to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company. They can choose to participate and receive 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-buyback offer, without additional investment.
