    To be totally avoided. Last time participants have turned their fingers. AR was around 2%

    I think buyback size was the same last time and ER and AR were around 1.25% -1.5%. This time with lots of people involved in buybacks because of the upcoming changes, it might be even lower. Not sure if even 1 share strategy will work.

      Yes, you are right. Don’t see any chance.Skipping this also.

    0.75% equity (6,65,000 shares) buy back @ Rs 900

    What is acceptance ratio?

    Acceptance ratio = no of shares to be accepted by company/ no of shares held as on record date

    Acceptance ratio = no of shares accepted/ no of shares tendered

    Which one is true?

    If Promoters are not participating in buyback then, which category gets extra shares, which promoters do not tender ?

    Retail or General category?

      Both Category benifits in Entitlement Ratio. Sometimes both come Equal Ratio where promoters not Participating.

      AR depends on biddings. Which category shareholders apply or not.

      Most of times AR better in Retail Category.

        That is not correct. Usually all promoters are in the General category and not in Retail. Hence, only the General category will benefit from promoters not rendering shares. The exception is when Retail shareholding is equal to or more than 15%. In that case, ER will be the same for Retail and General and both will benefit from promoters not participating.

        In that case promoters not participating.
        Entitlement counts on remaining shares other thn promoter holding.
        Its allready out from ER counts so no effects of tendering or not rendering shares of promoter holding.

        Just same observed in piramal enterprise buyback. ER comes around 9.5% general and retail 16%. ( Where buyback offer size 5.87% Equity shares ).

          If promoters are all in General category and are not participating, then ER of Retail is not impacted unless Retail shareholding excluding promoters is greater than or equal to 15%

          Example : A company has 1L shares, out of which promoters have 50K ( all in General) and it decides to buyback 5K shares

          Scenario 1A: Retail shareholding is 5K ( 5% of total and 10% of total excluding promoters). Promoters are participating. Then shares reserved for Retail are Maximum ( 5%*5K = 250 Shares, 15%*5K = 750 shares) = 750 shares. ER for retail is 750/5K = 15%

          Scenario 1B: Retail shareholding is 5K ( 5% of total and 10% of total excluding promoters). Promoters are NOT participating. Then shares reserved for Retail are Maximum ( 10%*5K = 250 Shares, 15%*5K = 750 shares) = 750 shares. ER for retail is 750/5K = 15%

          Scenario 2A: Retail shareholding is 10K ( 10% of total and 20% of total excluding promoters). Promoters are participating. Then shares reserved for Retail are Maximum ( 10%*5K = 500 Shares, 15%*5K = 750 shares) = 750 shares. ER for retail is 750/5K = 15%

          Scenario 2B: Retail shareholding is 10K ( 10% of total and 20% of total excluding promoters). Promoters are NOT participating. Then shares reserved for Retail are Maximum ( 20%*5K = 1K Shares, 15%*5K = 750 shares) = 1K shares. ER for retail is 1K/5K = 20%

          Thus, only in Scenario 2, where Retail shareholding excluding promoters was more than 15%, did promoters not participating have an impact on ER for Retail. In practice, in most cases, Retail ex promoters is less than 15% and in most cases, promoters not participating does not benefit Retail category.

            Correction: The Scenario 2A and 2B ERs are 7.5% and 10%.

            Scenario 2A: Retail shareholding is 10K ( 10% of total and 20% of total excluding promoters). Promoters are participating. Then shares reserved for Retail are Maximum ( 10%*5K = 500 Shares, 15%*5K = 750 shares) = 750 shares. ER for retail is 750/10K = 7.5%

            Scenario 2B: Retail shareholding is 10K ( 10% of total and 20% of total excluding promoters). Promoters are NOT participating. Then shares reserved for Retail are Maximum ( 20%*5K = 1K Shares, 15%*5K = 750 shares) = 1K shares. ER for retail is 1K/10K = 10%

              Trinity ji I appreciate your painstaking efforts in explaining your point of view and knowledge. Wish you success in life in every field now and in future ❤️‍🩹

            Hanji. Definitely you are 100% right. Where Promoter not participating benifits to general category In matter of ER.

            I want to say most of times AR better in Retail category thn General category.

            Diis fiis mostly apply full bids in buybacks.

            When i heard this like promoter not participating where benifits to general category.
            So i bought Birla soft 5000 qty For buyback.

            ER for both come 4.50%

            AR General – 8.61%
            AR Retail – 19.50%

            VLS finance Buyback
            Where promoters not participating.

            I expecting ER 18-19%

      Thanks to Trinity Ji for resolving my query by detailed explanation.
