Adani to pay ordinary NDTV stockholders more for shares’ sale

Adani Enterprises said on Tuesday it will raise the amount it pays New Delhi Television Ltd stockholders who tendered their shares in the conglomerate’s open offer to match what it paid the news broadcaster’s founders for their stake.

Adani Enterprises said it will pay an additional 48.65 rupees per NDTV share to investors who sold their shares in an open offer between November 22 and December 5, taking the payout to Rs. 342.65 per share and matching what it paid NDTV founders Radhika and Prannoy Roy, a Reuters report from Bengaluru said.

“The Securities and Exchange Board of India’s takeover guidelines are clear … Whatever price the acquiree gets, the minority shareholders also should get the same,” said Shriram Subramanian, managing director of InGovern Research Services, a Bengaluru-based corporate governance advisory firm.

About 5.3 million shares were tendered in the open offer, at Rs. 294 per share, and Indian billionaire Gautam Adani now controls about 65 percent of NDTV after acquiring a 27.26 percent stake from the Roys last week, four months after launching his takeover.

Founded in 1988 and owned by the husband-and-wife team, NDTV had said the takeover move “was executed without any input from, conversation with, or consent of the NDTV founders”.

Still, the founders sold a majority of their shares and retained only a 5 percent percent stake. The Roys and four other independent directors also resigned from the board, effective December 30.

NDTV’s stock is down about 20 percent since Adani’s announced his takeover plans in August. They were last up 1.2 percent on Tuesday.
