Legitimate takeovers must be honoured by existing boards and promoters
The Reserve Bank in December approved the open offer of the Burman family — the promoters of FMCG major Dabur — to acquire an additional 26 per cent stake in NBFC firm Religare Enterprises Ltd (REL)
The investor, Danny Gaekwad Developments & Investments, had proposed to acquire the stakes at a higher price compared to what was offered by the Burman family.
In a stock exchange disclosure late on Friday, Religare shared a letter from U.S. entrepreneur Digvijay "Danny" Gaekwad's firm requesting permission from Indian market regulator SEBI to make an open offer of 275 rupees per share for the Indian company, a 17% premium to the current offer.

In a letter dated September 27, the Burmans cited Care Health's Articles of Association, arguing that an ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation against Saluja renders her unfit to serve as director.
Rashmi Saluja, Executive Chairperson, finds herself amidst a storm with recent raids by the Enforcement Directorate and allegations from SEBI. Saluja says she is being targeted and reiterates that the Burmans' offer price undervalues the company. She adds that the Burman vs Saluja battle is inappropriate and affirms her commitment to continue building value for the company.
The proxy advisory firm believes that since the listed entity is in the midst of a raging corporate battle involving the Burman family; the capital markets regulator SEBI should immediately look into the delay and act in case any violations are found.
'The concerned officials have denied the allegations made in the FIR and are examining the matter for such further action as is deemed appropriate,' the statement said.
No incriminating documents were found during the search, said the company
