Saint-Gobain Sekurit India has frozen lower circuit of 5% at Rs 45.95 second day in a row after the company failed to complete its voluntary delisting from the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
“The delisting offer is deemed to have failed as the total number of equity shares tendered by the public shareholders in the delisting offer at or below the discovered price of Rs 90 per share is 4.9 million, which is less than the minimum number of equity shares required to be acquired by the company in order for the delisting offer to be successful,” the advisor JM Financials said on a behalf of automotive glass maker in a filing.
Accordingly, the company will not acquire any equity shares tendered by the public shareholders in the delisting offer and the equity shares of the company will continue to remain listed on the BSE, it added.
