Page 2 of 2 5. During the personal hearing, the representatives of the Company had submitted copies of Form 2 (return of allotment with respect to the bonus shares), Company's letter dated June 03, 2013 to BSE informing the allotment of the bonus shares and the Company's letter dated June 04, 2013 to the BSE requesting listing approval for the bonus equity shares allotted to the public shareholders. I have perused the documents and note from such records that the Company has allotted 69,29,938 bonus equity shares on June 03, 2013 to 9,446 public shareholders. Pursuant to this allotment, the promoter shareholding in the Company has reduced from 78.29% to 74.813%. The public shareholders presently hold 25.187%. From the above, it is noted that the Company has complied with the MPS norms on June 03, 2013, i.e., the last date prescribed for compliance. In the personal hearing, the representatives had stated that the above letters were sent to BSE through courier service. The Company had a notice of three years to comply with the MPS norms but it waited till the very last day to take final steps for achieving the same. Having achieved compliance on the last day, the Company should have been equally serious in disseminating timely information regarding its compliance to SEBI and the BSE through faster communication modes like e-mail, facsimile message, etc.
6. Considering the fact that the said company has complied with the minimum public shareholding norms, I, in exercise of the powers conferred upon me under section 19 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 read with sections 11(1), 11(2)(j), 11(4) and 11B thereof and section 12A of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, hereby revoke the
directions issued vide the interim order dated June 04, 2013 against the company, Nagarjuna Agrichem Limited, its directors, promoters and promoter group, with immediate effect.
