Rasoi Ltd : Summary of Financials,  Stock Price Trend

Assessment: Rasoi Ltd Delisting 

• The shares are to be acquired from public shareholders of Rasoi Ltd.  at a price as determined by the reverse-book building process in accordance with the Delisting Regulations subject to acceptance by the Acquirers.
• Rasoi Ltd. investments are more than its market cap at present.
• The stated objective of making the Delisting offer is to obtain full ownership of equity shares of the company, which will provide the promoter group with operational flexibility to support the company’s business and future financing needs and benefit the shareholders as presently the stock is not very liquid. 
• In general such delisting offers are beneficial to the shareholders and happen at a higher price.  Though I have participated in some Delistig offers in the past, this being my first coverage of Delisting offer I would desist from making any comment or suggestion on Rasoi Ltd Delisting and  rather watch the final outcome.
