In an M&A deal SIFY is purchased by its parent company SATYAM which purchases 15% of SIFY’s equity shares. Total SIFY’s equity shares is 1 million. How much does Satyam pay in Rs. for the stake if 50% of its purchases were on BSE’s opening price and balance on BSE’s closing price?
Given, total shares of SIFY= 1000000
Shares purchased by SATYAM= 15% of 1000000= 150000.
Now, 50% of the shares were purchased at BSE's opening price i.e. Rs. 232 and 50% of the shares were purchased at BSE's closing price, Rs. 247.
So, total amount paid by SATYAM= 75000*(232)+ 75000(247)= Rs. 75000(479)= Rs. 35925000 which is close to Rs. 36 millions.
