    29 shares are accepted for the buyback out of the 75 shares tendered. Reasonably good AR. THANK YOU.

        MPS LTD ( Macmillan Publishing Technologies & Service Businesses Limited ) board has approved the Buyback of 9,44,444 shares through Tender route @ Rs.900/- on 27/10/2021.
        CMP. Around Rs.705/-
        Record Date yet to be announced.
        Thank you.

    BSE website shows 136.91 % bids offered. Still there are 4 Days to go. What AR can we expect from this figure?

    Incredible disastrous blood shed of the price of Rs.1756/- at one time. Can someone analyse in detail?

      Here I have a suggestion.
      Till Umeshji returns for updates, as a stop gap arrangement, we all may post News on Buy Back on this eCerx page. That may not be solely on eCerx but also for other Buy Back news.
      Today I rec’d mail Nucleus regarding evoting. Last date is 12 Nov. Only after evoting result, further process will be taken up.

    Per the email received from KFin Technologies Private Limited, ER is 12/70 = 17.14%
    Hopefully it would would convert to AR 30-40%
    Happy Investing $$

    It is learnt that the BUYBACK is likely to Open on 18th and closes on 31st of this month. ER may be around 18%. It is also learnt that the final AR will be hopefully around not less than 40%. Happy investing to all. Thank you.

      I read the letter of offer. ER is 13/74, fraction to be ignored. Thus, for my holding 10 shares, my entitlement would be probably 1. My purchase is @2251. so I am not going get much benefit. The investment is also little only.

    Company proposes to buy-back the Equity Shares of Nucleus Software upto 22,67,400 comprising of 7.81% of the total paid-up equity capital of the Company, from the equity shareholders of the Company as on the record date, through the Tender Process at a maximum price of Rs.700/- per Equity Share for an aggregate amount not exceeding Rs. 1,58,71,80,000/-.
    I am of the opinion that one can opt for the buyback at around Rs.600/-(CMP is almost the same). Thank you.

    Company has changed the Final Buy Back price at Rs. 2,850/- per equity share (the “Buy Back Price” ) and the aggregate amount of BuyBack upto Rs. 303 Crores

    Record date for buyback of the shares of eclerx services is likely to be announced shortly. Please act accordingly n purchase the shares watchfully, if not already purchased. Thank you.

    Please create a page for Kaveri Seeds Buy back.
    Also request experts to comment, if we should buy it now?

    Hows Kaveri seeds at current rate for buyback?
    meeting on 25th

      Sumit Jain ji,
      Though I am not an expert in this regard yet I humbly submit that it is always better to wait for the details of the buyback i.e., Buyback price, type of the buyback (Tender/ Open), size of the buyback etc.,. My bitter experience of purchasing shares without having the details of buyback on hand has resulted in difficulty. Hence, this suggestion.

        Thanks SivaRamaKrishna for your wonderful suggestion…

        Still Stock market is all about risk..
        We need to balance Pros and COns and take informative step…

        Thanks again
