Proxy advisory firm InGovern has raised concern over Religare Enterprises postponing its 40th annual general meeting "without any valid reason" and has sought a Sebi probe into the matter, but the company termed the report manipulative. The regulator may examine the decision-making processes that led to the delay, as well as the company's actions regarding share allotments and Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), the advisory firm said in a report. Responding to the report, Religare Enterprises chairperson Rashmi Saluja said, "The report is manipulative in nature and is a malicious attempt to hurt the credibility of the company and its leadership. We are compliant with all laws and regulations and continue to uphold the sanctity of the High Court of Delhi, and hence will not be able to speak on matters which are sub-judice." "Short selling is becoming a trend to undermine the growing potential of Indian companies under different reasons and we would like really to understand the

Amid ongoing feud with the Burman family, Religare Enterprises on Wednesday claimed fair trade regulator CCI's approval for additional stake purchase by the Burman family entities does not "give a clean chit to the acquirers" with respect to certain alleged competition law violations. On Tuesday, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved the acquisition of 31.27 per cent of additional stake in Religare Enterprises by four entities of Dabur India promoter Burman family. The approval came against the backdrop of the intense feud between Religare Enterprises and the Burman family over taking control of the company. The release issued by the CCI regarding the stake purchase clearly stipulates that the "approval is without prejudice to the proceedings that may be initiated under Section 43A, 44 and/or 45 of the Competition Act, 2002", a Religare Enterprises spokesperson said. The spokesperson said it was in connection with the combination notice issued by the acquirers forming
Entities controlled by the family will need Sebi's approval to launch an open offer
Religare Enterprises Ltd (REL) on Thursday launched an attack on Burmans saying recent misleading information shared in the public domain by them is not only far from the truth but can best be described as false claims without evidence. The Burman family on Wednesday called for an investigation into the allotment of an 8 per cent share of Religare Finvest Ltd to Religare Enterprises Chairman Rashmi Saluja through Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). Terming the allotment "unfortunate," the Burman family, the largest shareholder of REL, in which it collectively owns 21.24 per cent through its entities, said the process "raises a question mark on the management and the independence of the independent directors" of the diversified financial services firm. In a rebuttal to Burman family allegations, the REL board and the independent directors, in a statement, said, "The recent misleading information shared in the public domain by the Burmans is not only far from the truth but can bes
