Bajaj Auto Buyback 2024 vs Garware Technical Fibres Buyback 2024

The financial strategy of the Company is aimed at driving the sustainable growth of its business and enhancing the returns for its Shareholders. The growth of the business, robust cash generation and strong balance sheet position allows the Company to reward its shareholders from time to time, as in the current instance, while retaining sufficient capital for growth investments, and opportunities. The Buyback reinforces the Company's commitment to its shareholders by returning surplus cash to them in an effective and efficient manner, which in turn will improve its earnings per share and return on equity.

Buyback is being undertaken, inter-alia, for the following reasons:

1. The Buyback will help the Company to return surplus cash to its shareholders holding Equity Shares broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing the overall return to shareholders;
2. The Buyback, which is being implemented through the tender offer route as prescribed under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, would involve the allocation of the number of Equity Shares as per their entitlement or 15% of the number of Equity Shares to be bought back whichever is higher, reserved for the small shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would be classified as "small shareholders" as per Regulation 2(i)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations;
3. The Buyback may help in improving its earnings per share and return on equity, by reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to a long-term increase in shareholders' value; and
4. The Buyback gives an option to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company, who can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buyback offer or they may choose not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback offer, without additional investment.
