Nirma Limited - Shabby Treatment of its Loyal Shareholders

Message Received :-

I have a few shares of Nirma Limited. I read on this blog that company tried to forcibly cancel shares in July 2013 and pay investors a small amount. Was the company successful in this? I did not receive any cheque for pending amount, hence i ask this question. Please let me know if anyone has knowledge or own Nirma shares.

================================================================

Blog Answer :-

Nirma Limited has treated its remaining LOYAL shareholders very shabbily.

Earlier ,at the time of Delisting Shares were bought @ Rs. 260.

Recently , the remaining Non Promoter Shares were forcibly acquired @ Rs. 220 .Cheques have been despatched.

=========================

This happens Only in India

Nirma Limited- Compulsory Buy Back @ Rs.225

Nirma Limited has despatched Pay Orders for compulsory cancellation of minority Non Promoter shares @ 

Rs. 225 per share.

=====================

Older Post

Total Number of Non Promoter Shares  : 7439704 shares - Rs. 5 Paid  ( 4 :68 % )

No. of Non Promoter :Shareholders :41,619 

Reason given in EGM Notice ( for 23/ 07 / 13 -11 AM , Ahmedabad ) as to why Promoters ' shares are excluded from compulsory capital reduction is that these Share holders have given their consent to RETAIN their shares ( Page 3 - Explanatory Statement  , Second Last Para ).

So , the legal position may be that all those shareholders ( Promoter or Non Promoter ) who give their consent to retain their shares would be excluded from this compulsory acquisition / cancellation of shares .

Dear Sir ,

With due respect , we state as under :-

1 ) We hold shares of your Company under L/f : ( A/c - ).

 2 ) The move to compulsory acquire shares selectively from the remaining share holders @ Rs. 225 Per Share is unrealistic and  unacceptable to us .

3 ) In case our name ( , L/ f  ) figures in your list of shares for Compulsory Cancellation , then  , please remove it - from the list ,under intimation to us (  by Registered post / Speed Post ).

4 ) We request you to withdraw this anti Non - Promoter move in its entirety .

Nirma 's Voluntary Tendering Delisting @ 260 - Compulsory Buy Back @ 225

In treating its Share holders shabbily / unwanted babies ,Nirma Limited has beaten its Peers like Cadbury India , Shakti Metdor etc.

Whereas Nirma Limited voluntary Tendering Rate at the time of Delisting was Rs. 260 , now , Nirma wants to kick out the remaining share holders @ Rs, 225

Wonder how they treat Class IV employees  there.

Are Share holders ( owners of the Public Limited Company ) treated any better ?

If such is the mind set of owners then why do they invite Public Capital , in the first place ?

They are better off as HUF / Private Limited

Binani Metals Limited ( exclusively listed at Calcutta Stock Exchange ) is the only Listed Share in India to have a Face Value of Rs.1000 /- !!

Asset Laden Investment Companies- Promoters Uninterested in True Value Unlocking

Promoters initially  invite public investment by selling shares in their holding companies . These holding companies promote new companies  Over a period of time their promoted  ventures succeed and the original investment made by the holding company multiplies many times over in value . Now instead of genuinely sharing the wealth with all the stakeholders non promoter minority share holders of original holding companies are treated as UNWANTED , like sort of poor relatives at a rich cousin's marriage party.

1 ) Majority stake in these Holding companies is always with the Promoters. So they are able to get all Resolutions passed . There are no Institutional holdings ( domestic or Foreign ). So  level of transparency in these companies is not at the same level as widely held companies.It suits the promoters to keep these companies in low profile and keep its true worth hidden.. Non promoter share holders suffer.


2 ) Over a period of time many share holders ' folios become dormant due to death of original shareholders and court cases .


3 ) In many pre 1947 incorporated companies many share holders migrated to Pakistan . Such folios ( Custodian of Enemy properties ) also are dormant . 


4 ) Either these companies are  not listed or these are kept only NOTIONALLY listed in Regional Stock Exchanges. Such listings are of not much use to the non promoter  share holders.


5  ) Despite massive EPS these investment companies either skip dividends or declare  woefully low dividends. Such moves keep the company in low profile and the share rate ( if any ) artificially low. Such practices hurt non promoter share holders' interests .


6 ) Despite bulging Reserves Bonus Shares or Splits are not done.  (Very surprisingly , Binani Metals Limited has done a Reverse Split to unprecedented Rs. 1000/-.


 7 ) Many such investment companies avoid sending Annual Reports to Non Promoter share holders.


8 ) Some such companies shift their Registered Offices to obscure places and hold meetings at venues which are difficult to reach. Many a time only  company officials ( with Proxies ) are in attendance  to see the proceedings through.


Investors ( non promoter ) of such investment companies should demand from the Government and SEBI to devise special Rules and Regulations for these companies


1 ) Such investment holding companies should compulsorily be listed in BSE / NSE. ( to improve liquidity ).


2 ) Face value should be split ( to improve liquidity )



 3 ) Meaningful quantum of dividends should be declared . ( Minimum 25 % of the Financial Year's EPS should be declared as Dividend  percentage ) 


Some Investment Holding Companies.


FARM ENTERPRISES LIMITED ( Reliance Enterprises Limited )


Mukesh Ambani Group ; Promoters' Shares in Reliance Industries Limited ; Not Listed , Massive EPS - No Dividend . AGM not in auditorium  ; Very few non company share holders attend AGM .Conversion of Equity Shares   to Preference shares) etc etc. Rate in unofficial market around Rs, 600 ( True Value may be in  thousands  ) .


There should be listing in the NSE .


http://www.rareindianshares.info/2009/12/farm-enterprises-limited.html


PNB FINANCE AND INDUSTRIES LIMITED

BHARAT NIDHI LIMITED
CAMAC COMMERCIAL

Belong to Samir Jain of Bennett Coleman And Company ( Times of India Group ). These companies hold promoters ' shares in Bennett Coleman And Company Limited .


Example : PNB Finance And Industries Limited ( Equity Rs. around 3 cr , Face value Rs. 10 ) holds , on consolidated basis , around 58 lakh shares of Bennett Coleman And Company Limited . This effectively translates into around 2 shares of Bennett Coleman And Company Limited for every one share of PNB Finance And Industries Ltd. Value of one share of Bennett Coleman And Co. has been worked out by some analysts to be around Rs. One Lakh ( please calculate independently ).


But share of PNB Finance And Industries Limited ( Face Value Rs. 10 ) is being traded unofficially Rs. 4500 - Rs.5000 which is a mere fraction of its true value. Although the EPS for the financial year ended was around Rs. 79  /- ,  dividend paid was only 6 % (  a return of 60 paise on an investment of nearly Rs. 5000 ).

( In the unofficial trades ,share price of Bharat Nidhi is around  25 % higher than that of PNB Finance And Industries Limited .Rate of Camac Commercial could be higher than Bharat Nidhi Limited )( There are , presently ,only buyers of PNB Finance and Bharat Nidhi shares and practically no seller ) 

No official trading in CSE .

DSE is closed.

There should be listing in NSE.


Shares should be split in to Re. 1 each .

NBI INDUSTRIAL FINANCE LIMITED


BG Bangur group's holding company. Holds promoters shares in Shree Cement Limited ( reportedly around 8 : 5 Lakh ). No trading of NBI Industrial  ,: No dividend . Many complaints of non receipt of Annual Reports.


http://www.rareindianshares.info/2009/06/nbi-industrial-finance-limited.html


BINANI METALS LIMITED


Holding company of Braj Binani group Holding very valuable shares of Binani Industries Limited and Binani Zinc Limited . 3 : 1 Rights Issue made for a Real Estate project which was later dropped . Promoters increase their holding.  Some times increasing share capital ( Rights Issue ). Some times decreasing Share Capital  ( Share buy backs ).


FACE VALUE INCREASED TO UNPRECEDENTED Rs. 1000 ( No other Listed company in India has a Face Value of Rs. 1000 ). Many share holders became holders of fractional shares . Their ( including many dormant folios  ) shares compulsorily sold   at fraction of the true value. Share value should have been split to Re. One.Now , valuable holdings being transferred to a private limited company i.e. Dharmik Commondeal Private Limited not at true value but at book value .

General Warning : Investment in Shares Can be Injurious to Your Wealth


Disclosure : We have  family holdings in many of the Companies mentioned above


Disclaimer : All comments / facts stated purely in good faith to further the interests of fellow public investors. Please recheck every fact.

Cadbury India Limited

We salute all those share holders of Cadbury India who are steadfastly giving their time and money in pursuing the High Court case against compulsory acquisition of shares from remaining minority share holders.

There are around 8,159 remaining non promoter shareholders who together own 2.42% stake in Cadbury India. 


We strongly feel that Government of India and SEBI should amend the laws so that Companies using their " brute majority " are not able to " compulsorily " buy out minority shareholders at what they perceive to be the " fair value " . Delisting may be OK . But a High Court Order for selective share reduction ( of Non Promoter Share holders ) is a different matter altogether.


 1 ) If a company wishes to buy back compulsorily then in the voting procedure the majority holder ( promoter ) should be debarred from voting . Only the small share holders should have the Right to vote on that particular Resolution .


2 ) As in the case of land acquisition , the Company should state valid reasons for acquisition of remaining shares ( In Cadbury 's case the remaining 2 odd  % share holders can , frankly , in no way alter  the Company 's policies.)  Only a few more Annual Reports are to be despatched and a few more chairs at the AGM .  ( Cadbury India Limited 's shares were delisted w.e.f  20-01-2003 )


3 ) There should be a soletium  ( a premium over and above the fair value to compensate for compulsory buy out ) of 50 % 


If the Company feels that the rate it is offering is " FAIR " then it should , also , be willing to offer to sell its entire majority  holding at that rate . The minority share holders ( and other Indian share holders ) should have a Right of Pre emption at that " FAIR " rate. For example if Cadbury India Limited feels that Rs.2000 is a " fair rate " then Indian shareholders in general should be given an opportunity to form a SPV ( Special Purpose Vehicle ) Company which ( with suitable debt equity Leveraged Buy out ) and buy  at the same rate  the majority shares from the Promoters. A period of 6 months should be kept for giving this opportunity to Non Promoter Indian shareholders 


However , we  sincerely wish that Cadbury India Limited offers its remaining loyal share holders " Kuchh Meetha " and in New Year 's " Shubh Arambh " withdraws this move.

Compulsory Back Back of Shares- Violates Fundamental Right to Equality

Regarding the move , earlier of Cadbury India Limited and , now , by Shakti Met-Dor Limited :-


Compulsory Buy Back of Shares ( selectively from minority Non promoter Share holders ) is violative  of Fundamental Right of Equality enshrined in the Constitution of India

Such a move creates two separate and unequal classes of Shareholders , i.e. Promoter Share Holders and Non Promoter Share Holders .

 2 )  The Default Option is No 1 Option i.e. cash offer of Rs.69 per Share

3 ) The Shareholder if he receives a Cheque for Cash Option can return the un encashed cheque with in 30 days and can opt for  other two options i.e. Preference Shares / Equity Shares.

Blog Comments : 

It seems the management is desperate to kick out its Equity shareholders at fraction of NAV of Company.

The net worth / prospects  seems to have improved greatly ( please recheck this point independently ) with the merger of wholly owned subsidiary , i.e.Frank Brothers And Company ( Publishers ) Limited with Macmillan Publishers ( India ) Limited  .

3 ) Regarding our holdings in Macmillan Publishers ( India ) Limited we have opted , on immediate basis , for the Equity Option.

4 ) No worry about Liquidity - Please Recheck independently  -( We have Rare Indian Shares site )

  1. All those who attempt to forcibly buy out small shareholders ( at their own dictated rates as Valuations are done by their own appointees ) should follow Don Corleone ( GODFATHER )'s dictum

    " MAKE HIM ( i.e. Shareholders ) AN OFFER THAT HE CANNOT REFUSE '
