Cross Tabulation of Estimated Returns: SIS Ltd. Buyback
This framework to estimate the % acceptance of shares tendered in the buyback is broadly based on
1) Estimate of number of existing investors with value of holding <= 2 Lacs
2) Estimate of Purchase of shares by arbitrage investors.
Based on above, the estimates for the Buyback are:
Entitlement ratio : around 10 – 15%
Acceptance ratio: around 20-25% ( Any increase in share price prior to close of buyback will increase these ratios and vice versa)
The absolute returns/Loss that may accrue to an Investors/Arbitrage trader are a function of Percentage Acceptance Ratio and Price Post Buyback. Investors may kept in mind that stock markets are quite volatile and stock prices are affected by a plethora of factors including financial results, changes in internal and external business environment, market sentiment and more so after end of buyback. We have depicted estimated Absolute Returns in table form as a function of various possible combinations of Acceptance Ratios and Price Post Buyback.
