The Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on Wednesday approved the delisting application of ICICI Securities from the stock exchanges and also rejected objections filed by minority shareholders. The NCLT in an oral order approved the Scheme of Arrangement for delisting of shares of ICICI Securities.
As per the scheme of arrangement, shareholders of ICICI Securities (ISEC) will get 67 shares of ICICI Bank for every 100 shares they hold.
The court also rejected objections filed by minority shareholders Quantum Mutual Fund and Manu Rishi Gupta.
Quantum Mutual Fund held 0.08 per cent and Manu Rishi Gupta, a minority shareholder held 0.002 per cent shares in ICICI Securities opposed the scheme.
The scheme was earlier approved by 93.8 per cent equity shareholders of ICICI Securities.
Following delisting, ICICI Securities will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the bank.
ICICI Securities, promoted by ICICI Bank, is the country's leading retail-led equity franchise, distributor of financial products and investment bank.
Meanwhile, ICICI Securities on Wednesday said it has settled with market watchdog Sebi a case pertaining to an alleged violation of regulatory norms after paying Rs 69.82 lakh.
The same was in relation to a settlement application submitted to Sebi in connection with the inspection of books and records for the merchant banking activities of the company, ICICI Securities said in a regulatory filing.
The observations were primarily related to the due diligence process to be followed by the company as a merchant banker, it said.
Following the payment, a settlement order dated August 20, 2024, passed by Sebi has been received by the Company on the same day, it added.
