Eclerx Services Buyback 2025 vs Puretrop Fruits Buyback 2026

Note:

• Small Shareholders are retail shareholders under SEBI regulations.

• General Category includes all other eligible shareholders.

• Entitlement ratio is based on fully paid-up equity shares held on the record date.

The Company is proposing the Buy Back to return surplus funds to the Eligible Shareholders, which are over and above its ordinary capital requirements and in excess of any current investment plans, in an expedient, efficient and cost-effective manner. The Buy Back would increase the shareholders' value and would also help the company in fulfilling the following objectives:

1. The Buy Back 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 the shareholders:
2. The Buy Back, which is being implemented through the 'Tender Offer' as prescribed under the SEBI Buy Back Regulations, would involve allocation of 15% of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to Buy Back or the number of Equity Shares entitled as per the shareholding of Small Shareholders, whichever is higher, to Small Shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation of 15% for Small Shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as "Small Shareholders":
3. The Buy Back may improve return on equity by reducing the equity base, thereby increasing shareholders' value in the long term.
4. The Buy Back will help in achieving an optimal capital structure.
5. The Buy Back gives an option to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company, to either (i) choose to participate and get cash instead of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buy Back Offer or (ii) choose not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buy Back Offer, without additional investment.

The Company proposes to utilise the Net Proceeds from the Issue towards the following objects:

• Return surplus funds to shareholders and enhance overall shareholder returns.
• Optimise the Company’s capital structure.
• Improve financial ratios such as earnings per share and return on equity.
• Enhance long-term shareholder value.
• Provide shareholders the flexibility to either participate in the Buyback for cash or retain their shareholding and benefit from an increased post-buyback ownership.
