Page 2 of 5 the Company are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (hereinafter referred to as ‘BSE’) and erstwhile Hyderabad Stock Exchange Limited. The scrip of the Company is suspended for trading at BSE.
Page 3 of 5 c. In January 2005, the Company had made the application to the BSE for in-principle listing of shares issued on preferential basis within the prescribed time limit. One of the pre-conditions of listing of shares was that the shares of the Company be available in demat form. However, as the net worth of the Company was negative, NSDL and CDSL rejected the Company’s application to admit its securities for demat. As a result the shares issued on preferential basis are yet to be listed on the stock exchanges. d. The shares of the Company were suspended from trading, long before June 04, 2010 when the amended Rule 19(2)(b) and the Rule 19(A) of the SCRR were introduced. The remedies prescribed by SEBI under the aforesaid circular could only be exercised through the platform of the stock exchange. e. The Company could not avail of the three year time given by SEBI to increase public shareholding to at least 25%, since the securities of the Company had been suspended by BSE. The Company could not meet the requirement of MPS, since, considering the circumstances of the Company, no mechanism existed through which the public shareholding could be increased. It could not avail of any of the modes for compliance as it had no reserves available for issuing the bonus shares to its shareholders; or to make a rights offer to its shareholders on account of the suspension of the securities of the Company from trading by BSE; further the promoters also could not divest their stake
Page 4 of 5 The Company along with its letter dated July 20, 2015, has also submitted the copy of the letters of BSE dated February 01, 2005, addressed to SEBI. BSE in the said letter had sought guidance of SEBI with respect to the listing of the shares of the Company, in view of the refusal by the depositories to admit the equity shares of the Company due to negative net worth.
