Frequently asked questions
Essential clarifications regarding engagement structure, valuation benchmarks, and regulatory oversight.
Under SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, a mandatory open offer is triggered when an acquirer directly or indirectly acquires 25 percent or more of the voting rights in a target company, or acquires control over the enterprise regardless of shareholding percentage. Additional triggers occur when an acquirer holding between 25 percent and 75 percent acquires more than 5 percent of voting rights in a single fiscal year.
Our matched advisors structure takeover transactions exclusively through verified equity resources, including internal corporate accruals, equity capital expansion, rights issues, and direct risk-sharing equity co-investments. By avoiding debt capitalization, debentures, or leveraged buyout (LBO) debt, the enterprise preserves solvency, avoids fixed interest liabilities, and maintains operational stability.
A standard open offer under SEBI regulations typically spans 60 to 80 days from the trigger date. This involves issuing the Public Announcement on the transaction date, publishing the Detailed Public Statement within 5 working days, filing the Draft Letter of Offer within 14 working days, obtaining regulatory review, and opening the 10-day tendering window followed by prompt equity settlement.
The open offer price is calculated in accordance with regulatory formula benchmarks, taking the highest of: negotiated share price under the share purchase agreement, volume-weighted average price paid by the acquirer during the preceding 52 weeks, highest price paid during the preceding 26 weeks, or the 60-trading-day volume-weighted average market price. For infrequently traded shares, an independent valuation grounded in net asset value, book value, and earning capacity is conducted.
To safeguard public shareholders and fulfill fiduciary mandates, acquirers must establish an escrow account with a scheduled commercial bank prior to the Detailed Public Statement. This escrow requires 100 percent cash or liquid securities backing for the statutory consideration payable, verifying that funds are unconditionally available for tendering shareholders without debt contingencies.
No. We operate strictly as an institutional advisory matching network. We provide direct, confidential introductions to accredited, Capital markets advisory aligned with SEBI Category-I Merchant Banking standards and regulatory valuation experts. We do not operate software dashboards, algorithmic platforms, or execution portals; our delivery is high-touch, partner-led transaction advisory.
Asset-backed pure equity acquisitions protect the post-acquisition entity from cash flow depletion, credit rating downgrades, and usurious debt service burdens. Grounding the deal in audited tangible assets and balance sheet liquidity ensures that future cash flows are directed into research, capacity expansion, and sustainable dividend distributions rather than servicing high-yield transaction debt.
