3A Capital Services has moved SAT against Sebi’s refusal to exclude non-selling promoters from its open offer in Sri Sarvaraya Sugars. Sebi has argued that once the 25 percent threshold is breached, an open offer to all eligible shareholders is mandatory.
Currently, the overall timeline for completing an open offer is 62 working days, panel proposed to reduce this to 42 working days.
The panel has deliberated on issues related to acquisition of shares and takeovers based on judicial verdicts and instances in the corporate world, leading to a 600-page draft report which had been submitted some time ago.
The open offer price reflects a premium to the Rs 425 per share internal transfer price, and offers liquidity to public holders. The transaction will be considered complete after the approval from RBI, National Housing Bank and CCI.

Danny Gakewad in his application has proposed that he is 'ready and willing to submit a genuine competing offer' for shares of Religare Enterprises at a price of Rs 275 per share.
Sebi has reportedly approved the Burman family's open offer to raise their stake in Religare Enterprises to over 50 percent, following clearances from the RBI and other regulators. The offer, worth Rs 2,116 crore, is expected to launch in mid-January.
The RBI nod is a significant step for the Burman family towards acquiring control of Religare, it does not include approval for proposed board changes, such as appointing new directors.
Coforge said it expects to complete the acquisition by Q3FY25, subject to closing of the Purchase Agreement.
PSP Projects has a market capitalisation of Rs 2,800 crore. Adani Group is reportedly in talks to acquire a controlling stake in the construction company, which is likely to trigger an open offer.
