Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

An open offer in India is a public offer made by an acquirer to buy shares from the public shareholders of a listed company after crossing a threshold under the SEBI takeover code. It is triggered by acquiring 25% or more of the voting rights, or by gaining control, and the minimum offer size is 26% of the shares. Shareholders can tender their shares at the offer price, or choose not to.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

An open offer in India is announced when a buyer takes a large stake or control of a listed company and must offer other shareholders a chance to sell. It protects minority investors, who would otherwise be left behind in a company with a new owner.<\/p>\n

This guide explains when an open offer is triggered, how the price and size are set and what you can do as a shareholder when one is announced.<\/p>\n
