Aarti Drugs Buyback 2023 vs Goldiam International Buyback 2023

The Buy Back is being proposed by the Company to fulfill the following objectives:

1. The Buyback will help the company to return surplus cash to its shareholders holding Equity Shares.
2. The Buyback is generally expected to improve return on equity through the distribution of cash and improve earnings per share by a reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to a long-term increase in shareholders value.
3. The Buyback gives an option to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the company, either to sell their Equity Shares and receive cash or not to sell their Equity Shares and get a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback offer, without additional investment.
4. The Buyback, which is being implemented through the tender offer as prescribed under the Buyback Regulations, would involve a minimum reservation of 15% for Small Shareholders and allocation of a higher number of shares as per their entitlement or 15% of the number of shares to be bought back, reserved for the Small Shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation for Small Shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as Small Shareholders.

The Buyback is undertaken for the following reasons:

1. The Company believes that the strong future and outlook of its business activities is not accurately reflected in the prevailing market price, thereby giving an opportunity for Buyback to create long-term value for its shareholders.
2. The Buyback would help in improving financial ratios like earnings per share and return on equity, by reducing the equity base of the Company; thereby, enhancing the overall return to shareholders.
3. The Buyback gives the Eligible equity shareholders the choice to either (A) participate in the Buyback and receive cash in lieu of Equity Shares accepted under the Buyback or (B) not to participate in the Buyback and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding in the Company post the Buyback, without additional investment.
