- effectively utilize surplus cash; and

- make the Balance Sheet leaner and more efficient to improve key return ratios like Return on Net Worth, Return on Assets etc.

The Company therefore bought back 1,59,25,925 fully paid-up Equity Shares of face value of Rs. 2 each from the shareholders / beneficial owners holding Equity Shares as on record date i.e. February 22, 2013, on a proportionate basis, through the tender offer process, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 77A, 77AA, 77B and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Buy Back of Securities) Regulations, 1998 and Listing Agreement entered with the BSE Limited at a price of Rs. 27 per Equity Share payable in cash, for an aggregate maximum amount of Rs. 43.00 Crore. 117 shareholders participated in the offer and consequently, the current paid-up capital of the Company is 7,05,19,135 Equity shares of Rs.2/- each i.e. Rs.14,10,38,270/-.
