Check the retail shares number in buyback. Now check retail shareholding from bse site. If retail shareholders number < retail shares in buyback , then 1 share strategy will work definitely. Example, eclerx buyback Buyback Size : 1375000 Shares Retail Quota : 206250 Shares (15% of total buyback always ) Retail Shareholders till march 2024 are ~45000 only. ( shareholding upto 2lk rs ) So here, approx 2lk shares in retail quota and just 45k people, hence 1 share strategy will work for sure here. For buyback, registrar accepts 1 shares first of all participants, then goes on proportionate basis for those who applied higher shares for buyback. Hope you understand.
Little amendments here.First buyback fas per ER and then from left over shares one each to one who don't have any ER and again left over shares on proportionate basis to ER personal.
@ANJAY Could you explain what you're trying to say on the basis of ER? I understood @UjwalG view but not yours Further explanation would be appreciated
TOTAL RETAIL QUOTA = 1000 TOTAL SHARES HELD BY 800 RETAILERS = 10000 HERE ER = 1 OUT OF 10 = 10% NOW SUPPOSE 600 RETAILERS APPLIED FOR BB AND IN THIS 200 RETAILERS ARE WITH 1 SHARES ONLY.
NOW 400 RETAILERS WILL FIRST BE ALLOTTED AS PER THEIR ER 200 RETAILER WITH ONE SHARES WILL BE ALLOTTED ONE EACH IF ANY SHARES LEFT AFRER ALLOTMENT AS PER ER .
IF STILL SHARES ARE LEFT THEN IT WILL BE ALLOTTED TO THOSE WHO HAVE APPLIED MORE THEN THEIR ER.
Experts, please advise how to calculate if the single share strategy will work in a buyback issue.
