Source<\/strong>-This post on Delisting of shares<\/strong> is based on the article “Why is a Reliance Capital Ltd investor challenging its resolution plan?”<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0published in \u201cThe Indian Express<\/strong>\u201d on 6th May 2024.<\/p>\n

Why in the News?<\/h2>\n

Recently, an investor in Reliance Capital Ltd (RCL), which is undergoing insolvency proceedings, has challenged specific regulations<\/span> related to SEBI\u2019s norms for delisting shares<\/span>.<\/p>\n

SEBI\u2019s norms for the delisting of shares provides exemption in cases where the delisting is done as per the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC)-approved resolution plan. The petitioner has argued that this exemption in delisting of shares, fails to protect the interest of investors.<\/p>\n

About Delisting of shares<\/h2>\n

1. Delisting of shares: It refers to the removal of a publicly traded company\u2019s stock from a stock exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. A company can choose to delist its shares voluntarily or Involuntary.<\/span><\/p>\n

a) A company can choose to delist its shares voluntarily,<\/span> if it wants to go private or merge with another company.<\/p>\n

b) A company can choose to\u00a0delist its shares involuntarily<\/span>, if it fails to meet the exchange\u2019s listing requirements or violates the exchange\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n

\n

3. If a company intends to delist its securities, it must purchase back 90% of the total issued shares. <\/span>The company is typically required to notify its shareholders and the exchange before proceeding with the delisting.<\/p>\n

Why the SEBI’s Delisting of shares norms have been challenged<\/h2>\n

Exemption has been provided under SEBI’s Delisting Regulations, which allow delisting post the approval of resolution plan.<\/p>\n

However, such an exemption leads to overnight zero value of equity shares in case of a company that undergoes delisting. This results in failure of protecting the interest of public shareholders.<\/p>\n
