Upcoming Buyback of Shares

Offer Type: Upcoming Buyback of Shares

There are two types of buyback shares, tender and open market. A company choose from these two methods to repurchase their shares from the shareholders.

Tender offer: The company is offering to buy back its shares at a specific price. Shareholders can sell their shares at this price and the money will be deposited into their primary bank account. Shareholders are allowed to apply for more shares than they are entitled to, but if too many shares are tendered, the company will only accept a certain ratio of them. Any shares not accepted will be returned to the shareholder's demat account.

Open-market offer: A company can buy back its shares for up to four months through an active exchange process, directly purchasing the shares from sellers. The buyback offer specifies the duration. The funds are added to the shareholders' trading account. 

Voluntary Participation in Buyback Offers

If you want to convert common shares into cash, the buyback offer is the best option. Shareholders need to understand that they are not obligated to tender their stock during an upcoming buyback. Participation in stock buybacks is optional for you.

Eligibility to Participate in a Buyback Offer

Someone can't just decide they want to participate in a buyback offer of a company, not all traders are eligible for the buyback money. Here is a breakdown of key positioning factors:

• The most crucial factor is holding shares of the company on the record date. 
• This is a specific date established by the company, signifying who is considered a shareholder for the buyback purposes. 
• Shareholders who hold shares in their demat account or physical form on the record date are generally eligible.

Tax Implications of Buybacks for Shareholders

Participating in a tender offer or open-market buyback has certain advantages when it comes to tax. Let’s break it down:

• In India, the company repurchasing its shares is responsible for paying a buyback tax on the distributed income. 
• This tax is levied at a flat rate and is a final settlement.

Important note: It's recommended to consult tax professionals for personalised advice on the benefits of upcoming buyback shares. Different situations call for different responses. These experts can help you understand any specific tax implications that apply to you.
