You could interpret the scheduled stake sale by ICI as either a repositioning of strategy or capital recycling. The discount to the existing market price is small, which could suggest the seller is looking to provide liquidity while limiting negative price pressure. The 30-day lock-up of the remaining stake could be designed to reduce immediate share price volatility.
Since Akzo Nobel India has a diversified product mix, there will not be any change to the core business. However, players in the Indian coatings industry may view this as part of a larger ownership change or corporate changes. You could also observe whether the market is able to absorb this amount of shares and whether the transaction elicits a reaction from institutional investors or other players.
Shares for Akzo Nobel India may move leading up to the execution of the block deal, particularly if the volume of shares being traded is significant compared to normal daily turnover. You may also want to monitor for updates regarding the execution of the block trade, compliance with the lock-up period, or any other statements or regulatory filings from the parent companies.
