Buyback Ratio Calculation

The record date for the TCS Buyback is February 23, 2022.

The issue size of TCS Buyback is of 40,000,000 equity shares at ₹4500 per share aggregating upto ₹18,000.00 Crores.

The Buyback aims to :
i) Return excess cash to the shareholders.
ii) Increase shareholder's value in the long term; and
iii) Improve Return on Equity.

All the eligible Shareholders of the Company holding either Physical Shares or Demat Shares as on the Record Date can participate in the buyback offer through their Stock Broker.

The eligible shareholder holding the shares in Demat form needs to inform their broker the details of the Equity shares they wish to tender in the Buyback Offer. The shareholder needs to transfer the tendered shares to a Special account of the clearing corporation. The broker, in turn, would place an order on the stock exchange for the buyback.

The eligible shareholder holding the shares in physical form needs to approach their broker with original share certificates and supporting documents. Upon completion of document verification, the broker places an order on the stock exchange and submits the original share certificate and TRS to the registrar.

The tender form and TRS are optional in the case of Demat shares but mandatory in the case of physical shares.

The TCS Buyback offers an opportunity for the shareholders to exit their positions at a premium price. In case you stay invested you would have an increased percentage of shareholding in the company and improved earnings per share. Thus, one should understand the company fundamentals along with one's need, goals, and risk appetite to decide if one wants to stay invested or participate in the buyback offer.

We should atleast mail to tcs investor mail we got

"investor.relations@tcs.com"

For not accepting our share as per declared acceptance ratio.

For 45 shares , 26% would be 11.7 means atleast 11 should be accepted but only 10 is accepted.

For 50 shares , 26% would be exact 13 but only 12 is accepted.

Why they reduced our acceptance shares unfairly!!!

We should raise compliant.
they done whatever they want and nobody could stop them. that's unfair.

But why AR is not same for every investor???
Some are getting 26% and some are getting 20% , that's the huge difference and it's purely unfair.

387. Jayaram     Link|March 28, 2022 9:30:29 AM
How will it work? Is it like they debit all the tendered shares from Demat Account and recredit the balance after aceepting eligible shares? Or they will debit only eligible shares from DP? Because all my 44 shares got debited from my Demat account. As on date my holding shows as zero in DP.

383. Vasumati A shah     Link|March 26, 2022 2:21:13 PM
I was holding 136 shares out of which only 3 shares are accepted as buy back. How?
383.1. Finders     Link|March 27, 2022 10:12:12 AM
number of shares you hold decides the category in which you will be considered for buy back. 136 is high number hence not retail, so acceptance ration for your offer is low. I think around 56 is considered retail. If you have less than 56 then your acceptance ration would have been high.
383.2. P R SRIDHARAN     Link|March 27, 2022 1:29:27 PM
You belong to General category. Allotment ratio is 2.4%.
Hence your acceptance of 3 shares is correct.
