Igate delisting - Is it worth the bet? - Part II

I said it is worth the bet in my previous post.

For delisting, the owner should atleast have 90% of the company's share. This is not the case with Igate which has only 80.1% currently.
But it can continue with delisting process as it is approved by the shareholders.

The floor price for the delisting process is set at Rs. 288.90/- , which is the 26 day average of high and low price. The current market price is Rs. 374/-.
As I said before, there is no ceiling price and one can bid at whatever price he likes!

The price will be decided after the Reverse book building process and it is decided by the price quoted by majority of the people much similar to IPO book building.

The management then decided to carry on or cancel the de-listing process at will after the exit price is known. If the exit price is approved, then that price will be the price at which the management buy back all the shares.

If the price you quoted is greater than exit price then yours will not be bought by the company. Any way, you can sell those shares at the exit price within 6 months to the company. If you miss that bus also, your share is less valued than a normal paper!!

If you quoted less price than the exit price, yours will also be taken at the exit price. The management can play around to get lower exit price (what you will do if you were in the management side). For this, they have exercised ESOPs, Employee shares and distributed to the employees at less than 250 according to the grades. They will be more than willing to sell at the management's disposal, say Rs. 300/-.

There will be people, who will bid way higher price as they dont want to sell igate shares and it will in turn increase the exit price. The best price is certainly above Rs. 400/- and I would expect the exit price to be greater than that mark.

You can see what is the current status during the book building process itself in NSE and then decide upon your final price as each and everyone's price matter here, but not that much.

If you have not bidded but have shares, you can also sell at exit price within 6 months.

Cheers!!! Get Ahead for Igate.

  1. I still have IGATE shares with me as on 14th Dec 2007. I did not bid in the open offer made by the company between 26th and 29th Nov. Has the exit price been finalized for IGATE. I can still Trade in the Script the price today is @Rs.393.
    Should I sell it in the open market or wait if there is a chance for the stock to go up. Dont mind selling the stock at this rate but don't want to end up in a position where the stock becomes worthless.

    Can you please explain.

    thanks !!!

    Thanks for posting the comment here.

    You can shed the shares to the company at the price of Rs.410/-, which is the exit price.
    But the tax part will be 20% for long term and 30% for short term.

    The letter for shedding the shares will come to you to your postal address. Then, you can shed all the shares to the company at the exit price.

  3. Hi Manickkam,

    I have not received any letter regarding this. Can you confirm if this process has already started? Is there some contact place for getting more information on this?

    Thank you for your kind help.

Nokia E51 WLAN Settings

Nokia E51 is a smart phone with almost all the features available in it. It looks really slim and comes in three colors. It has loads of features and highlight of them all is the connection through the Internet through WLAN. You can get a Internet connection from the service provider and ask for the wi-fi router. With the wi-fi router, you can connect to the Internet through various other devices like Laptop, Nokia E51 etc., You will be provided with the password for the WLAN connection and only if you enter the password correctly you will be connected to the Internet through that WLAN. As you may expect, this password will be asked only when you connect to Internet through this WLAN for the very first time. In Laptop/Computer, you have Network settings to identify and modify the settings if wrongly entered. But this is somewhat tricky in case of Nokia E51! In Nokia E51, You have the option of Browse WLAN right at the home page for you. If you have customized for something different, u

What does customer experience mean?

Customer experience is the experience of the customer from the period they came to know about the existence of the product until they finish using the product. For a hotel like Saravana Bhavan, the customer experience is from the point they came to know about its existence (the day they started) until they are associated with that particular customer (probably, forever for Saravana Bhavan but it depends on each of the customer). For a typical brokerage firm, it is all about how easy it is to open the account and the experience until the customer closes the account. For BSNL or Samsung, it is from when the customer gets to know about their products (the point when they want to buy it) until the time they stopped using it. Customer service is also part of it. Its all about the customer service, once the customer has become the owner of the product. Most of the times, I have seen, the Customer Experience is great until one procure the product or service and after that, because of t
