SEBI:
Draft amendments to the takeover code
Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India
is considering changing the takeover code. According to
the draft amendments to the regulation, creeping acquisition
of over 55 per cent in a company cannot be made through
open offers, market purchases or preferential allotments.
If a promoter has acquired shares or voting rights through
market purchases or preferential allotments, beyond 55
per cent, he should disinvest the shares acquired in excess
of this limit, suggest the draft amendments. Currently,
the regulation allows creeping acquisition up to 75 per
cent.
Public announcement is necessary for acquiring any stake
over 55 per cent, suggests the draft.
Also under Regulation 10 dealing with the acquisition
of 15 per cent or more of the shares or voting rights
of the company, a provision has been inserted which says
that acquisition of over 55 per cent stake must go through
the reverse book building route. Effectively, this will
also do away with the route of open offer for acquiring
up to 100 per cent stake in the target company.
The draft also seeks to expand the definition of 'promoter'
to include any person acting in concert with the promoter
in any disclosure made in terms of the Listing Agreement.
