    Burman Group Dismisses Gaekwad’s Bid

    The Burman Group, in response to Gaekwad’s counterbid, clarified that the investor’s request to SEBI for an open offer is invalid under the SEBI Takeover Regulations. They highlighted that Gaekwad failed to make a competing bid within the 15-day window following their October 2023 announcement. The Burman Group’s ongoing open offer aims to acquire 26% of Religare’s equity, equivalent to 9,00,42,541 shares.

    The Burman Group also criticised Religare Enterprises for disseminating Gaekwad’s proposal without proper diligence, suggesting that it could mislead shareholders regarding the status of the open offer.
