      1 share
      At max profit will be 350

      @mw if we have 1 share
      Is it manatory that it will be accepted

        It may or may not be accepted. However, it is Worth taking risk.

    I did some calculations
    According to. Me
    Acceptance ratio will be around 15%

    Current shareholders below 2lakh : around 20%
    But 15% considering more retail investors will buy shares to participate in the buyback as price difference is huge
    So in my opinion the acceptance ratio will be 15-20%
