About

In 2023, SEBI published a consultation paper on voluntary delisting norms, leading to recent amendments to the Delisting Regulations approved in SEBI’s board meeting on June 27, 2024. These amendments focus on several key changes: (a) introducing a fixed price delisting mechanism as an alternative to the existing reverse book building (RBB) process; (b) re-evaluating the counter offer framework; (c) incorporating “adjusted book value” as a parameter for determining the floor price; and (d) revising the reference date used in floor price calculations. Join us on Friday, July 05, 2024, as we delve into the nuances of these changes and gain deeper insights.

Please refer to our detailed analysis on SEBI’s most recent consultation paper of 2023 on delisting.
