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.

Hello All,
I have one question with retail quota.
I have total 9 demat accounts with 5 different PAN.
Now I am purchasing 45 shares in all 9 demat accounts to eligible myself for retail quota.
So whether I am eligible for all 9 demat accounts or only 5 with different PAN is eligible for this buyback?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

@anchal: That 2 lakh retail category is applicable per person means per PAN. Any person can have many demat account and shares in multiple accounts so all those will be combined. Better to buy in 5 demat accounts only with different PAN.

In retail category(total price less than 2 lac) chances may be about 3 to5 times more than general category depending on the ground situation. So if AR in retail is 60% (about 27 acceptance out of 45 to 47 shares ), in your category AR may be 12% to 20% hence acceptance of 24 to 40 shares.
You may tender all 200 shares to maximise the acceptance.
If you want to participate as a retailer , you are to sell about 155 shares before ex date. Now, Nasdaq is under pressure, so are the IT shares. So you can not sell at this point at good price. You will get atleast 20 days time to take decision in this matter.If the price goes beyond 4100, you may think for selling to enter in retail category and subsequent reentry at lower price once buyback date is over.
If you are a very long term investor, you may do anything you like.

Open demat account with other broker and then buy from that demat account :)
Shares can be tendered via broker only. You can one more time check with your broker may be, mostly brokers allow. or you can open account in zerodha or groww or uptox etc etc Zerodha allows to tender from site itself, other brokers am not sure how. you can ask them before account opening.

As to TCS buyback, I am going to furnish some useful historical data for consideration.
However, at he outset there is no second thought for participation in the buyback in view of the historical high acceptance ratio beating all arithmetical connotation.
Arithmetically it looks meagre but eventually proves to be very profitable.
2017 buyback:-
16000 cr, at 2850/- (21.8% premium) , buyback size 5.61 cr (2.85%), subs was about 2.5 times for nii and retail , AR for retailer was about 50%.
2018 buyback:-
16000cr, @2100 , buyback size 7.61cr (1.99%) subs was about 1.75 times and AR for retailer was 100%
2020 buyback :-
16000 cr @3000 , buyback size 5.33 cr (1.42%) subs was about 1.6 times and AR for retailer was 100 %
From this data it is clear that the retailers are not that much interested to participate in such buyback inspite of having 15% reservation. Historically it is also true that after buyback ,price has mostly gone up further .
There is a school of thought who preaches that a company launching buyback means it has no ability to do further extension with the amount and has thereby reached to a point of ultra maturity and saturation and therefore buying its own shares at higher price which is a much easier job and shares for such companies must be sold at buyback. But it is true that the buyback is stake appreciation. So theoretically there is not much difference between tendering and not tendering except for retailers probability for extra acceptance and tax efficiency.

2022 buy back:-
18000cr,@4500 ,size 4cr (1.08%) retailers quota 60 lakh
Promoter (Tata sons & TICL) having 267 CR, 72.19% as at June21
Total share 370 cr
Retailers number 10.8 lac , no of share 11.95 cr (3.24%) , Average 110 (not matching)
So arithmetically ER comes at 3.24 % and AR comes at 5.o2%
The following points may be noted:-
1. The % of share buy back and so also total numer reducing.
2. No of retailers increasing, one unconfirmed source says that the % of retailer in 2020 was 0.5% causing so high ER and AR . But for me such a low fi
gure is difficult to believe.
3.It tranpires that the promoter will participate as ever before and their portion will be 12993 cr out of total 18000 cr.
4. Current nii and retail portion is 4.9% as against 4.4% in June 21. So it is increasing and will further increase.
5. The final AR is a function of the difference between buyback price and the market price , the lower the better as much as the holders will try to offload at higer prices.
6. You have no means to know the final AR until the tendering process is completed.
Keeping all points in view, one may expect of AR at least 60% which will give good profit at the end.
Best of luck

@Ou Ai

>>Gains exempted out of grandfathering though factually right, is not a big enough reason for less tendering,

Please point out in where did I say that the due to grandfathering there would be less tendering. I only said that grandfathering already protected capital gains till 31st Jan 2018 and hence we should not say that buyback 2022 is protecting last 15-20 years capital gains.

>> as gains after post Jan 2018 are phenomenal that is not exempt.
Again where did I say that the above is not correct.

>>Buy back is an opportunity made for mainly for long term shareholders instead of dividends that are taxable is the factual position.

If we are comparing the buyback vs dividend then I agree to the above but I have different opinion on the Blanket statement "Buyback is for the benefit of long term investors" and we can surely agree to disagree on this point. I believe that companies come out with buyback when they wish to show higher EPS in the future without utilizing the "cash in hand" in the growth of the company and its profitability or if when they are forced by very large stakeholders e.g. Government for higher share of company profits. I sincerely doubt that "Benefits to long term retail investors" is the reasons for companies to come out with buybacks. I believe that some long term retail investors get benefitted in the buybacks by default only. It is my personal view and may not align with many but that is absolutely fine.

>>Those buying less than 2 lakhs in order to avail small share holder's benefit are making best out of short term opportunity.

Here also I may politely agree to disagree with you and that is my personal view only. I believe that "good opportunity" or "not so good opportunity" or "bad opportunity" it all depends on the skill of the person to transact optimally during the buyback period e.g. one of the important aspect (along with so many other aspects) is entry (buying) price.....

>>Long term investors with investment over decade generally do not rush to >>sell post buy back as the holding cost is miniscule. They may add more at >>lower prices having sold in buy back. Short term investors may either sell or >>continue to hold.

I am not sure in what context you mentioned this but if it is the context to people switching to Infosys to TCS then I would again say it depends on the psychology of individual investors and also on the fact if investor is the "ACTIVE" or "PASSIVE" one. I have worked with both TCS & INFOSYS both and understand both companies very well. I have also been a long term investors in TCS and INFOSYS both and I, my family, friends and acquaintance who follow their investments "ACTIVELY" do re-balance our investment not every quarter and not after every buyback but whenever there is sustained (over a significant period of time) relative underperformance or overperformance.

I would like to thank you for all your views and appreciate you knowledge and expertise from the bottom of my heart.

How can one belive the words of so called experts - - 18 to 24 out of 44 shares will be accepted, rest will trade between 3300 to 3600. The so called experts had recommended to buy Paytm on 8 to 15% correction, look where it stands now.(paytm)
In BB, market price will surely determine AR. Market price in tender period - - >Nearer to 4500-> higher will be AR, Nearer to 4000 lower will be AR, that's as simple as that

TCS historical acceptance ratio?

As per Anil Singhvi: As per the expectations of the market, around 18-24 shares are likely to be approved out of 44 shares. Remaining will trade around 3300-3600

The CMP of TCS is already near 4000 level and let's say it may be expected to oscillate near by 4000-4200 level leading upto few days before the record date (this is a very conservative view).

And last buyback of TCS suggests that there is likelihood of share price crossing BB price post record date or post shares debit date.

TCS has given good growth coupled with more than expected profit.

Does Anil Singhvi means to say that TCS will go HGS way.? This is little unreasonable why shareholders will punish TCS when there is no ground to do so.

May be he was in upset mood.. πŸ˜‰

Sir, imho let's hope and pray for the best.

Counter view is more than welcome, I could be wrong also in my above assessment, more finer arguments are expected. πŸ™πŸ™

Retail quota Rs.2 lakhs.Does it mean that you are considered retail only if you are less than 2 lakhs holding in D Mat or if you offer only less than 2 lakhs approx.45 shares for buyback.Views on this please.

@K.Atar: this 2 lakh value is considered as per share price on record date not as per buyback price of 4500. May be you already know, am just informing once as in your first comment you mentioned as per 4500 rs so.
ya for safer side upto 45 shares are fine even.

Ya lokes Sir, exactly 2 lakh threshold is important. Share price appreciation is just guess work so i said buy 44 and forget, its the safest number. even a price difference of 50 rs leading upto buyback finalization day will fetch as almost 2000 rs (even if 90% acceptance).

And as you Sir rightly put it this BB will be different since record number of new entrants in securities market.

And TCS is such a respectable name.

**45 or 46 shares are also good but not as safe as 44.

"Tata Sons holds about 266.91 crore shares in the company and it intends to tender 2.88 crore shares for the buyback, while TICL, which holds 10,23,685 shares, offered to tender 11,055 shares."

Based above news AR will be very less and seems not beneficial to pursue buyback. I will look for appreciation upto 4200 and exit all. Bought 22 today also by exiting IRCTC which trumped me again by closing higher ,😣😣😣

ER will be less, no doubt
normally shares of IT companies(safe bet) inches towards buyback price so therefore the chances of loss is very slim

If price stays below 4100-4200 then a slight probability of loss only for those who would be buying at higher levels

30-40% acceptance ratio will anyhow be there and chances of tcs going down by 15% from current levels is minimal( improbable)

so no major risk
As per my opinion even in worse case scenario of price hovering around 4000 levels and low AR

@Cold Burger
I understand that 15% of total buyback is reserved for Retailers with please than 2L worth shares.

Will the response to rest 85% make any change in AR of 15% ?

TCS is seeking shareholder approval by way of special resolution for buyback of equity shares of the company.

TCS's remote e-voting period will commence from January 14, 2022 and end on February 12, 2022. The results of the postal ballot will be announced on February 15, 2022.

It will take a lot of time for record date to come after postal ballot voting and results (approx more than a month for record date from now) so till then tcs share prices will have enough up down movement as per budget/nifty etc....so I feel it can be accumulated in staggered manner, means some dip can also come from current prices till record date.

@Lokesh ji

After how many days of Voting Completion, will they announce Record Date?

Asking as I am holding future and not stock as money is stuck somewhere.

@rajkumar: For IT companies (where there is evoting for buyback approval), evoting normally starts after 15-20 days of board meeting of buyback. Evoting normally happens for around 28-30 days. Results of evoting normally comes in 2-3 days after evoting ends. Record date is usually around 10-15 days after evoting ends. Buyback tender offer period open around 20-30 days after record date and buyback period is generally around 15 days. And credit of amount usually happens after 1 week of buyback offer ends.

Yesterday, Tata Sons & Tata Investment Corporation both announced their intention to participate fully to their eligibility in buy back. Tata Sons alone account for about 9000 Cr plus. that is about 50% of buyback amount 18000 Cr.

Compare Buybacks with TCS Buyback
