BSE said the buyback offer size represents 25 per cent of the aggregate of the company’s paid-up equity capital and and 19.64 per cent of the free reserves.
The buyback will be executed through a tender offer route on a proportionate basis, using the mechanism for the acquisition of shares through the stock exchange. The company will buy back about 45,93 lakh equity shares, representing 3.39% of the total equity as on March 2023.
BSE Ltd will hold a board meeting on July 6 to discuss and approve a proposal for a share buyback, which involves the company repurchasing its own shares. Share buybacks are considered a tax-efficient way to distribute cash to investors and can increase the value of the stock by reducing the number of shares available. Following the announcement, BSE s stock rose over 5%. The company also made changes to its executive team, appointing a new Chief Regulatory Officer, Chief Risk Officer, and Chief Information Officer. BSE is known as the world s fastest stock exchange. In the March quarter, the company reported a revenue of Rs 227 crore and a profit of Rs 88 crore.
