In the following circumstances, assume that current price is 3800 and by the time buyback window gets announced its 4000 n in buyback its also reaching 4500 in secondary mkt.
Person A Buys 50 shares of TCS, waits for the ex date /record date announcement and In the buy-back, presents only 44 out of 50 shares? , will the person B be eligible for buy back?
Person B buys 50 shares of TCS, waits for the ex date /record date announcement and then sells off 6 shares (before ex date) and In the buy-back, presents only 44 out of 44 shares
I agree its the more safest to go with Person B's approach but want to know if Person A will be eligible for participating for a successful buyback same as Person B?
Gaurav ji, Both A and B eligible for buyback if they choose to tender shares but will be treated im different investor category. 1) Individual who has Share Holding worth rs 2 lakh is categorized in Retail Category. Your imaginary person B will fall in this category if he has shares worth Rs. 2 lakh on record date, quantity may be 44 shares as you like. The timing of sale should be as per your convenient time, but do the selling before 3 days.
2) Individual who has Share Holding worth more than rs 2 lakh is categorized in General Category - Your imaginary person A will fall in this category whether he offers 44 or 50 shares.
