1 WHAT IS DELISTING? Delisting is totally the reverse of listing. Delisting is not specifically defined but in simple words delisting means permanent removal of securities of a listed company from a stock exchange. It is not only a structuring tool but also a possible corporate strategy to achieve greater control with less accountability to public (shareholders) at large. The securities of that company that is delisted would no longer be tradable at that stock exchange. "Delisting" i.e. the said removal from a Stock Exchange, may be Voluntary (i.e. at the will of the Company) or Compulsory (i.e. out of a penal action by the Stock Exchanges, for the reason of any violations). REGULATORY FRAMEWORK OF DELISTING: SEBI(Delisting Of Equity Shares) Regulations, 2009; Securities Contract( Regulation Act), 1956; Companies Act, 2013; SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulation, TYPES OF DELISTING: Delisting Compulsory Delisting Voluntary delisting Voluntary Delisting from all the exchanges.

The company that has been compulsory delisted by the exchange can relist its securities only after a period of 10 years. In case of Delisted companies who were sick in the past, can be given opportunity of listing through restructuring scheme passed by BIFR. The sick companies are exempted from the provision of cooling period. The application made by the company on the basis of the orders provided by BIFR to the stock exchange shall be treated as application for fresh listing of equity shares and the provisions with regards to listing of equity shares of unlisted company shall apply.
9 BENEFITS AND POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS AFTER DELISTING: The costs of being a publicly traded company are substantial and are occasionally difficult to justify with a low market capitalization. As a result, deregistering can save a company millions and reward shareholders with a higher net income and earnings per share (EPS). Company shares may be trading below intrinsic value, compelling the company to acquire its own shares as a strategic move. This typically results in shareholders being rewarded with substantial returns over the short term. If a company does not meet those requirements, it may be forced to delist itself. Causes for delisting may include failure to file timely financial reports, lowerthan-required stock price, or insufficient market capitalization. In the end, companies can have a clear bottom-line incentive for delisting their stock from public exchanges - it's not always a bad thing! HINDRANCES AFTER DELISTING: Investors' decision should be guided by the price offered by the company. Generally it is advisable for shareholders to tender their shares if the company is offering a reasonable price. If they do not do so and the open offer is successful, they will be among minority shareholders. There will be no liquidity for the shares and no means of price discovery. Minority shareholders are then left with very few options for exiting the company. Further, if their shareholding is less than 10 per cent, this group of minority shareholders cannot approach the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) for redressal of grievances. If the price offered is not reasonable, shareholders may collectively refuse the proposal. Shareholders should also look at the shareholding structure to determine who the other shareholders are. Out of the total public shareholding, a major chunk may be held by institutions which may tender their shares. If the promoters are able to absorb 90 per cent shares from institutions, they will go ahead and delist. Retail investors will then find themselves reduced to the status of minority shareholders in the delisted entity. In such case the investor opts not to surrender his shares, he will be entitled to regular dividends and bonus shares. No check by the regulatory authorities on whether the payment has been made to the shareholders or not in case of compulsory delisting. It does not mention the penalties/ consequences in case of defaulting promoters in making the payment of the fixed fair value to the public shareholders. HOW DO WE HELP? We as professionals ensure that all the compliances with respect convening boards and shareholders meeting as per the Companies act, 2013 and secretarial standard
10 are done. We do liaising with the National Company Law Tribunal, Registrar of Companies, Stock Exchanges and various corporate bodies in order to ensure that the procedure is followed as per the law and there aren t any non-compliances with regards to the process of delisting. CONCLUSIONS: Though the procedure of delisting of equity shares is a tedious one, ways and measures are taken by SEBI by amending the regulations to bring about transparency in delisting of equity shares. SEBI has made overhauling changes since the commencement of delisting regulations, However, from our viewpoint, amendments should be made in order to make the procedure simpler and more public friendly.
