5.Selective buy-backs

• In broad terms, a selective buy-back is one in which identical offers are not made to every shareholder, for example, if offers are made to only some of the shareholders in the company. The scheme must first be approved by all shareholders, or by a special resolution (requiring a 75% majority) of the members in which no vote is cast by selling shareholders or their associates. Selling shareholders may not vote in favour of a special resolution to approve a selective buy-back

on-market buy-backs and minimum holding buy-back

• A listed company may also buy back its shares in on-market trading on the stock exchange, following the passing of an ordinary resolution.The stock exchange’s rules apply to on-market buy-backs.

• A listed company may also buy unmarketable parcels of shares from shareholders (called a minimum holding buy-back). This does not require a resolution but the purchased shares must still be cancelled.

Contradicting sections on Buy- back of shares in India

• Section 77 of the Companies Act does not allow a company to buy its own shares until the winding up of companies.

• but the subsequent Section 77A permits buyback subject to certain conditions. What is the rationale behind?

Page 16: Buy  Back Of Shares,

04/11/23 16

Section-77 of the Companies Act

• Most of the sections in the Companies Act tries to protect the interest of the outsiders who had lent money in the form of debentures or loans or deposits by restricting company not to pay unless outsiders(loan vendors) are paid fully.

• Share holders are paid last and has taken maximum risk in the company.

Page 17: Buy  Back Of Shares,

04/11/23 17

Other sections to protect the interest of outsiders

• Section 80 of the Companies Act 1956:-Redemption of preference shares:-Preference shares can be redeemed out of fresh issue

of shares or divisible profits which are normally available for the declaration of dividend or both(Partly by fresh issue of shares and divisible profits)

Preference shares can not be redeemed out of fresh issue of Debentures. Why?

Page 18: Buy  Back Of Shares,

04/11/23 18

Debentures can not be issued to redeem preference shares

• Debentures are loan funds from outsiders which will reduce long term solvency of the existing debenture holders of the company.More debt will reduce credit worthiness further.

• If further shares are issued for redemption of preference shares, one type of own funds go out and another type of own funds come to the company which do not affect credit worthiness of existing debenture holders. Law tries to protect the existing debenture holders.It is the reason Section 77 says own capital can not be returned before making payment to debenture holders.

Page 19: Buy  Back Of Shares,

Rules for redemption of preference shares

• Section-80 of the Companies Act:Rule 1:Only fully paid preference shares can be redeemed- Why?When preference shares are issued, it was assured that all

money ie to the extent of nominal value of shares will be received by the company.It is a statutory liability of every shareholders to pay fully to the extent of nominal value of shares. The debenture holders are given security not only on the present assets but also future assets that will be realised from partly paid up preference shares.There is a legal obligation on the part of the company to receive the balance of amount from preference share holders before winding up.

Page 20: Buy  Back Of Shares,

04/11/23 20

Rule-2

• No company can issue any preference shares, shall issue any preference shares which is irredeemable or redeemable beyond 20 years

Page 21: Buy  Back Of Shares,

04/11/23 21

Rule-3

• Preference shares can be redeemed either by fresh issue of shares or out of divisible profits or both.-Why?

• Divisible profits is profits which are freely available for the declaration of dividend to shareholders. Only such profits which are free from all clutches can be used for redemption. How is it done? What is the logic?

Page 22: Buy  Back Of Shares,

04/11/23 22

What is the mechanism of using revenue profit to CRR account?

• Revenue profits which are free for dividend have to be converted into Capital profit.The converted capital profit is known as Capital Redemption Reserve fund.Capital redemption funds(CRR) are used to capitalise proft into fully paid up bonus shares. It means revenue profit becomes shares which will be with the firm for ever and gives effective protection to existing Debenture holders.

• Journal entry:• Profit and loss Account Debit• Capital Redemption Account credit• It means reduce revenue profit and increase Capital profit.

otherwise share holders will ask the company to declare dividend out of revenue profit.

Page 23: Buy  Back Of Shares,

04/11/23 23

If there is no revenue profits?

• Go for fresh issue of shares. It can be equity or preference.It should not be debentures or loan funds.

Buy back of shares( Sec.77A)

• Why buy back of shares introduced in India?

• In late 1996-1999 Indian share market did not move. People hesitate to buy and people were not interested in sell shares as they felt that share market might go up. It is one of the mechanism to make the market to be vibrant in such situation.How?

Page 32: Buy  Back Of Shares,

04/11/23 32

How?

• When shares were issued at premium, the company earned capital profits. If shares are quoted in the market less than nominal value or a little above nominal value the company has a chance to re-purchase such shares from market at low price and cancel such shares from the share capital. The remaining share holders value go up because net worth of the firm remain almost the same to the remaining number of shares.

Page 33: Buy  Back Of Shares,

• to allow promoters to get a better hold on the company.

• To wit, if the existing promoters in the saddle are having 20 per cent of the shares and the company announces a 20 per cent buyback in which obviously the promoters will not participate, the bottomline would be their stake now going up to 25 per cent (20 divided by 80).

• There cannot be a simpler and less expensive way of beefing up one's control in a company. In fact the promoters gain at the expense of the company whose cash is used in bankrolling this exercise.
