THE EXIT OPPORTUNITY available for INVESTORS
in case a company gets delisted?
• PROCEDURE
• The decision on delisting should be taken by a panel
to be constituted by the Exchange comprising the
following :
a. Two directors/officers of the Exchange (one
director to be a public representative)
b. One representative of the investors
•
Avery India delisting plan fails
• They came, they saw and they made money. And when they
realized that their perception among investors was not what
it used to be, they started slipping out of the limelight by
delisting the shares of their Indian subsidiaries.
• Quietly, MNCs in which the parental holding is 60 percent
and above, are seeking to delist.
• A concerned industry lobby, the FICCI, is trying to
ascertain the reasons behind the exodus of multinationals.
• The ruling BJP believes that MNCs have blatantly
disregarded Indian laws and the interests of minority
investors by delisting from India.
• P. N. Vijay (Delhi-based investment banker and conveyor
of the BJP’s central economic cell) – “MNCs [in India]
show scant respect for Indian laws. We should deal firmly
with multinationals that try to act funny with us.”

MNCs’ Viewpoint
•
According to the Indian daily, Business standard,
"Promoters are now seeking voluntary delisting from
regional stock exchanges to save on listing costs.
Regional bourses are becoming redundant because of
technological disadvantages. Almost 99.9 percent of
trading volumes are recorded on the two major
exchanges, the Bombay Stock Exchange [BSE] and
the National Stock Exchange [NSE]. With most
regional exchanges reporting minuscule volumes,
promoters prefer to pay listing fees to only the two
most liquid exchanges instead of paying annual
charges to all of them."

PUBLIC SCRUTINY OF LISTED MNCs on Indian bourses
• COKE Example
• The Indian subsidiary has an accumulated loss of over $300 million, owing
to its obsession with acquiring market share. It has only recently started
claiming that it is earning operating profits.
• Coke India has been fighting a mandatory listing for the past two years,
mainly on the ground its bottom line, smeared in red, will make it
impossible for the company to attract fair valuations when it goes public.
• It has been negotiating with its bottlers on sensitive issues like proposed
investments to modernize bottling units, pricing mechanisms and
enforcing its processes and systems on them, and fears that a public
listing at this stage will bare its strategies to its competitors, (read Pepsi).
• Coke India has managed to get a reprieve, though, from the government,
which has now agreed to allow it to divest its parent’s stake to just a
handful of Indian investors that have a stake in the company.
Reckitt Benckiser came under SCANNER
• DISINVESTMENT MOVE
• Unlisted companies with a positive net worth going to the stock market.
• Announced by Home Minister P Chidambaram after a meeting of the Cabinet
Committee on Economic Affairs, opens the doors for around 50 companies
to get listed, prominent among them being Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd,
RITES Ltd and Ircon.
• Besides, listed government companies that are profitable and have less than 10
per cent floating equity will also be going to the market.
• Though, 18 government companies are listed and do not comply with the
mandatory 10 per cent norm, about 10 such companies are profitable
and will need to come out with a follow on issue. These include MMTC
Ltd and National Mineral Development Corporation. The government will
need to disinvest 8.3 per cent in NMDC and 9.3 per cent in MMTC to
increase the public float to 10 per cent.
• The money from disinvestment will go into the National Investment Fund
(NIF) created in 2005.

in the BSE PSU index stood at Rs 15.76 lakh crore,
accounting for one-third of the total m-cap of BSE, which

pegged at about $100 billion and a paid-up capital of about
Rs 5,000 crore.
• In its second term, the Congress-led government has already
paved the way for listing of two PSUs - NHPC and Oil
India, and decision on Nov. 15, 2009 would result in more
CPSEs hitting the capital market.

of Rs 825 per share.
