Kaveri Seed Share Buyback: Kaveri Seed Company on Thursday said its board has approved the proposal for the buyback of the company’s shares having a face value of 2 each, for an aggregate amount of Rs 125.65 crore. The maximum number of equity shares proposed to be bought back, at a maximum price not exceeding Rs 700 per share, will be 17,95,000 equity shares, which is about 3.08 per cent of the company’s paid-up shares as of March 31, 2022.
If the equity shares are bought back at a price below the maximum buyback price, the actual number of shares bought back could exceed 17,95,000 but will always be subject to the maximum buyback size and will also be not more than 25 per cent of the total number of equity shares in the paid-up equity capital of the company as of March 31, 2022, Kaveri Seed Company said in a BSE filing.
Kaveri Seed is India’s largest agriculture company specialising in hybrid seeds in key Indian crops.
