Till date, the most powerful tool in the hands of minority shareholders has been bringing a suit for oppression and 

mismanagement, said Suhail Nathani, managing partner, Economic Law Practice. "Under the 2013 Companies Act, 

Section 245, over 100 shareholders can also file a class action suit but its application and enforcement is still nascent," 
he said.

Asset Laden Holding / 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 by Promoters  as UNWANTED , like poor relatives at a rich cousin's marriage party.

We sincerely hope that some one takes up the case of Digvijay Finlease compulsory consolidation @ Rs.200 for a Rs.10 paid up share , which some calculate ( Please Recheck this ) to have an intrinsic worth of around Rs. 40,000 per Rs. 10 share ( Please Recheck this )



Will the Promoters sell their shares to Investors at the same rate of Rs.200 per share ?

Support Shareholders Activism in Alembic Ltd

Promoters of Indian Companies should stop taking their minority shareholders for granted.

Public Shareholders should put up their Directors of Publicly Held Companies
-----------------------------------
Alembic Ltd. Case as reported in Business Standard

The law provides for 1,000 small shareholders to come together and agree on one individual to represent their concerns on a company’s board.

 "The fact that this provision has never been tested shows how daunting it is for 1,000 people to agree on something," Reddy added.

Reed Relays-Aggrieved Shareholders Mounting Counter Offer For Promoters' Shares

Public Shareholders are up in arms against the Promoters ploy to forcibly acquire Non Promoters' shares at a very low rate.

They are mounting a Counter Offer to acquire Reed Relays Promoters' shares at a premium to the price offered by the Promoters.

It appears that there would soon be  a new Management  Team.

M/s Reed Relays Victims Committee (an  Association of Persons i.e. AOP )may come into being which would initiate legal steps

A Co-ordinator is to be appointed.

Volunteers are most welcome .

Please come forward.

Blog Comments 

Shareholders should not give up . Resources should be contributed ( Contri ). An Appeal should be filed

with  and an Interim Stay applied for

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal

http://compat.nic.in/

Grounds of Appeal

Hon'ble NCLT has erred in observing that NCLT cannot increase the price of compulsory acquisition . It can as was done by the Hon'ble Hiigh Court of Bombay in the case of Cadbury.
As per Hon,ble Bombay High Court , aggrieved shareholders can seek Court's permission to appoint their own valuers.


Company's Valuers are selected / paid by the Company. So, they can be biased.

Sheer Loot -Reed Relay Compulsory Buyback @ Rs.107- Experts Say

Letter by a Shareholder to the Company :-


Dear Sir:

I have received your postal Ballot Notice regarding compulsory acquisition of non-promoter shareholdings. In this connection the proposal seems to me a dishonest, illegal and criminal proposal for illegal enrichment at the cost of the non-promoter shareholders who have believed in your entrepreneurship and invested in your Company by going through your published Balance Sheet of several years. Till date we were not aware that you had criminal and illegal intentions to cheat the shareholders of your own company. We were under the impression that the promoters are all people of high ethics, morality, equity and fair.  However the dark side of you has come out openly through this compulsory acquisition proposal which I am sure will be a black mark for you for generations to come.

Your reasoning for the compulsory acqusition as mentioned in the explanatory statement  in the garb of SEBI guidelines etc are all deliberate falsehood with ulterior motives of personal enrichment. In the process it is distressing to see two professionals 1) P. Pattabiraman and Co. Chartered Accountants  and 2) Mr. Adit N. Bhuva, Practising Company Secretary are also colluding  with you for your illegal proposal.

The proposal raises fundamental questions of investments in Securities of Public Limited Companies by investors and the way in which corporate governance are handled by fraudulent promoters like you.  The systematic mis-use of SEBI guidelines, misuse of the name of High Court, Companies 2013 etc.in your proposal  are a big challenge.

I have decided to take up the matter with appropriate legal forums to see that you are prevented from going ahead with this proposal. 

In the meanwhile you are requested to kindly forward me a copy of valuation report of P. Pattabiramen & Co, Chartered Accountants who has determined a fair value of the shares.

P P Zibi jose
Shareholder

 As per my view fair value is above 400.

Dear Sir,

I would like to invite Share holders of Reed Relay though this EFFECTIVE PLATFORM to protest against the company

Because it may happen that promoters intentionally do not put entry of the ballot in the inward register, may ask the post man not to deliver the same before the expiry date, may ,may , do any thing as they like . but if the same is done through " EVOTING"  we have perfect record officially on the website .

i have yesterday voted through the evoting platform and is very easy to use the same.

IT IS MR. NARENDRA MODI WHO HAS PUT A SURGICAL STRIKE AGAINST THE BLACK MONEY NOW IT IS OUR TURN TO PUT SURGICAL STRIKE AGAINST THE GREEDY AND CHEATER PROMOTER WHO HAS USED OUR MONEY TO FLOURISH THE COMPANY AND WHEN THERE INTENTION IS OVER THEY THREW AWAY LIKE ANY THING.

Promoters- Make Us An Offer We Cannot Refuse- But No Compulsory Cancellation

please watch this famous Godfather Scene


-----------------------------------------------------------


Compulsory Buyback/Cancellation - Bad in Law - Are Anti Public Shareholders - Reed Relays Latest




OPPOSE  COMPULSORY BUY BACK / Cancelation OF SHARES

Delisting may be OK .
 But forced cancellation of Minority shares is not done even in Capitalism
Capitalism means Demand and Supply.
If the Majority wants the Minority 's shares then , to Quote from Mario Pu.zo 's Godfather .
" They should make an offer we cannot refuse "

. Let them approach us and buy at a mutually agreeable price but not at a Dictated Price.
Free will transactions are the essence of Capitalism .

Alfa Laval ( India ) Kicks Out Loyal Remainder Public Shareholders

Alfa Laval ( India ) has become the latest MNC  to follow the example of Cadbury India, in compulsorily buying back the shares of Non Promoter remaining Loyal shareholders through a Court order. 


The payment made is @ Rs. 4000/. same as was given four and a half years ago for voluntary buy back / delisting. 

--------------------------------------------------

  Alfa Laval ( India ) Limited Delisted on 19-04-12 at Exit Price of Rs. 4000 Per Share.Exit Window was available Till 18-04-13.

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 .

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

Public shareholders want a price of Rs. 10,000 ( for Rs. 10 paid up share ) as the market value of shares National Peroxide ( one third equity is with Macrofil Investments ) more than tripled in the last one year.

Consolidation of Face Value to a Higher Denomination SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

Copy of Letter sent ( Speed Post ) to Macrofil Investments ( Tel 022-2207-0700 ) 

Dear Sirs ,

   Sub : Consolidation of Face Value to Rs. 5000 - Our Objection


1 ) We are shareholders , for the past many years , of Macrofil Investments.


2 ) From the 34 th Annual Report ( which was despatched very late by you ) received by Courier on 03/10 / 2017 , we learnt  of a NCLT petition for consolidation of Face Value to Rs. 5000 from the current Rs. 10


3 ) This move is a clever ploy by the Promoters ( Wadias ) to Compulsorily  eject Non Promoter Public shareholders at a Throwaway Price   because there has been in the recent past a sharp upward movement in the Share rates of , inter alia ,National Peroxide and Bombay Dyeing , these being the sizable investment of Macrofil Investments ,


3 ) Split to a Lower Face Value is acceptable and Permissible but not to a higher Denomination , especially if the whole exercise is being conducted with the Hidden Agenda of throwing out Loyal Non Promoter shareholders at a fraction of the intrinsic ( NAV ) of the share of Macrofil Investments.


4 ) Further . the whole exercise is illegal and not Maintainable because :-


a) The AGM Notice for the 34 th AGM was received by us on 03/10/2017 ( Couriers- Professional Couriers -Receipt No. KUR- 514641444 ) .The AGM was held earlier on 28/09/2017. This is contrary to the provisions of The Companies Act 2013 which mandates receipt by shareholders 21 days prior to the Meeting.  


b ) No Notice of the alleged EGM dt.18/07/17 was ever received by us .


So , please withdraw this Consolidation exercise.

With regards ,

Share Activism is a step in the Right Direction. There is , always , a threat of oppression by the Majority shareholders ( Promoters )on Minority ( Public ) shareholders.
Promoters use clever moves to forcibly eject Public shareholders.
1 ) Selective cancellation of Non Promoters shares.
2 ) Conversion of Equity shares in to Redeemable Preference Shares.
3 ) Consolidation of face value of one share to a Higher Denomination .
In all cases , valuers are appointed by the Company.

Whereas Split of the face value of one share to a Lower denomination should be allowed ,Consolidation to a Higher Denomination should be absolutely banned by SEBI.

Consolidation to a Higher Denomination was one by Binani Metals, Rasoi Limited , attempted by Digvijy Finlease and , now, being attempted ( but opposed by shareholders ) of Macrofil Investments Ltd ( a Nusli Wadia Company )

Macrofil Investments is an Investment Holding Company of Nusli Wadia group ( Bombay Dyeing, Britannia , Bombay Burmah , National Peroxide etc ).

Marofil Investments holds ( on a very small capital base of Rs.44 Lakh ) inter alia one third of National Peroxides' Equity.

In the last one year Market price of shares of National Peroxide has gone up from Rs. 600 to Rs.2000.

Macrofil Investments has , very cleverly , devised a plan to consolidate face value of one share from Rs. 10 to Rs. 5000.

All the Non Promoter shareholders would be evicted.

The rate set is around Rs. 3400 per share. This has been worked out by Valuers appointed and paid by Macrofil.

The realistic rare should br Rs. 10,000 + ( for Rs.10 share )
