UTV Software Communications to Compulsorily Eject Loyal Remaining Public Shareholders

 UTV Software Communications , a Walt Disney Company delisted in 2012 @ Rs.1100 


Its prospects have become very bright after its parent bought Rupert Murdoch 's 21 st Century Fox .

It , now , wants to kick out remaining loyal Non Promoter shareholders @ Rs 500 (  Less than 50% what it offered 6 years back.)

So called independent valuers/ CA M/s.Deloitte Haskins And Sells has valued the share at only Rs.26 / 30 ( So , the Company is doing a great favour )

But the Company would keep 5 shares with any 5 of its employees so that it remains a Public Limited Company ( Minimum 7 shareholders are required )

Dear Mr. Ashwani Kumar Aggarwal,

Thank you very much for your valuable advice.

What should be the fair value of UTV Software Communications Ltd. equity share after the proposed merger of Walt Disney & Company with 21st Century Fox ?

I would really appreciate if you can through some focus on it.
Warm regards,

Ashwani Kumar Aggarwal said...

Very difficult to put a " fair price " on it.No trading in the Delisted market So many years the Exit price was Rs. 1100/- .After that , in rationalisation process losses were shown. Now, these exciting new developments. Let us wait and watch. Regards

Thanks for your reply Mr. Ashwani Aggarwal,

This is an EXTREMELY RARE share !

The promoter, The Walt Disney Company (Southeast Asia) Pte. Ltd. now holds 99.9821 % share in UTV Software communications ltd. Rest all shares are held by general public which is just 0.0179 % !!! There are only 1,57,000 equity share floating in the market, which is held by perhaps just few hundred shareholders.

In the days to come, it would be truely a jackpot for these lucky shareholders who hold it patiently with tremendeous faith in company's bright future & its long term growth potential.

Wish you all the best guys who are holding this rare diamond in their portfolio.
