Friends,
I am tracking this co recently and got to read that the Open offer was made in 2007 by Kemoil Ltd at Rs 100 and they tookover Calsoft Ltd at that time.They hold 66% stake in Calsoft as of now....but what has surprised me recently is ,I again saw open offer annoucement in bse site by Singfuel Investment Pte. Ltd at Rs 45.03.....Why more and more people are ready to take stake in Calsoft?What is there in the Co.....!
The Offer:
"This Open Offer is being made by the Acquirer to shareholders of the Target Company other than Kemoil ("Public Shareholders") to acquire 24,73,002 Equity Shares, being 20% of the Voting Capital of the Target Company ("Open Offer Shares"). This Open Offer is being made at a price of Rs. 45.03 per fully paid up Equity Share ("Open Offer Price"), aggregating Rs. 11,13,59,280.06 (Rupees Eleven Crores Thirteen Lacs Fifty-Nine Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty and Six paise only) ("Open Offer Size"), payable in cash in accordance with the SEBI (SAST) Regulations and subject to the terms and conditions mentioned in PA."
Calsoft has given a very positive np in last Dec qr.....np was 2.87 cr on an eq base of 12 cr....as 66% stake is held by Kemoils Ltd and 15% is held by corp entities means almost 81% is held by strong hannds and as I wrote , there is already an open offer for 20% stake at Rs 45.....I think Calsoft is a momentum as well as value buy at this juncture.....
Seems more and more people are interested in the Co stake and it seems that promoters are not ready to dilute the stake , we are seeing open offer for 20% stake.....
While going through all the annoucement for last 2 yrs , it seems Calsoft is on a growth path.....partnering with Oracle , making inroads in Digital Home Market:
