Current Buyback Offers (Tender and Open Market) 2019

Buyback of shares is the repurchasing of own shares by a company. In simple words, buyback is nothing but a company buying back its shares from the existing shareholders. A company can announce a buyback offer either through a tender offer or through the open market or from odd-lot holders. The buyback offer price is usually higher than the market price.

In the case of a tender offer, the existing shareholders as on a record date can opt to accept the offer and tender their shares in exchange for cash offered by the company as per the prescribed buyback ratio.

In the case of an open market offer, any Equity shareholder of the company can participate in the buyback offer through their stockbroker till the buyback window is open.

The buyback offer benefits the shareholders as it helps improve the shareholder value, increase return on share capital, and fetches a premium price. However, one should study the company's performance and understand one's need and risk appetite to decide whether one wants to stay invested or offer the shares in buyback.
