Independent Directors Committee Recommendation
The Committee of Independent Directors (IDC) of Glittek Granites held its meeting on May 13, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 26(7) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The meeting commenced at 2:00 PM and concluded at 3:30 PM. The IDC unanimously concluded that the offer price of ₹12.65 per equity share is fair and reasonable, having been determined in accordance with Regulation 8 of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations as the highest among the prescribed parameters.
The IDC's recommendation was based on the following key considerations:
- The offer price of ₹12.65 per share is equal to the negotiated price under the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA)
- The offer price is higher than the volume-weighted average market price of ₹12.39 per equity share for the sixty trading days immediately preceding the date of the Public Announcement on BSE Limited
- The offer price has been determined in accordance with Regulation 8(2) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations
- The acquirers intend to strengthen and improve the operational efficiencies of the target company
However, the IDC drew attention to the closing market price of the equity shares on BSE Limited as on May 12, 2026, being ₹44.78 per equity share, which is significantly higher than the offer price. Public shareholders were advised to independently evaluate the open offer and the market performance of the company's scrip before making a decision on tendering their shares.
The IDC's recommendation was published on May 14, 2026, in Financial Express (English, All editions), Jansatta (Hindi, All editions), Navshakti (Marathi, Mumbai edition), and Udaykala (Kannada, Bangalore edition).
