    I see this company buys back every year recently.. what’s the general acceptance rate of db corp buy back ? Or what’s the expected buy back acceptance rate as entitlement is around 29%

      I think 45-50% will be tendered. Let us see how it goes.

    Update by Company on 31.07.2018 in BSE
    This is to inform you that the company has received SEBI observations on the draft Letter of
    An offer filed with SEBI for the proposed Buyback Offer of the Company. Now, we are in the
    process of finalizing the Letter of Offer and the same would be sent to the shareholders as
    per regulatory timelines.

    DB corp original buyback entitlement – 29.3 % ( Reserved category)

    Final can be somewhere more than 50%
