The offer closes on December 5, a notice by JM Financial, the firm managing the offer on behalf of Adani Group firms, said.
Markets regulator Sebi on November 7 granted its approval to the proposed ₹492.81 crore-open offer.
The conglomerate, run by India’s richest man Gautam Adani, in August acquired a little-known company that lent over ₹400 crore to NDTV’s founders more than a decade ago in exchange for warrants that allowed the company to acquire a stake of 29.18% in the newsgroup at any time.
Post that, VCPL — the firm that the Adani group bought out — announced that it would launch an open offer on October 17 to buy an additional 26% stake from minority shareholders of NDTV. However, the offer was delayed since Sebi had not given its approval to the open offer.
VCPL along with AMG Media Networks and Adani Enterprises Ltd had proposed to acquire an additional 26% or 1.67 crore equity shares at an offer price of ₹294 per share.
If fully subscribed, the open offer will amount to ₹492.81 crore at a price of ₹294 per share.
On Thursday, shares of NDTV closed at ₹368.40 on BSE, up 2.65%.
