For operational flexibility, Shyam Telecom seeks approval to delist shares

The company had posted a loss of Rs 1.35 crore for the quarter ended December 2019, compared to a profit of Rs 57 lakh in the same period a year ago.

"The approval of the shareholders is sought for the aforesaid Special Resolution, after which the Promoters will proceed at their discretion, to make an offer to the shareholders of the Company and purchase the shares at an exit price in accordance with the provisions of the SEBI Delisting Regulations," it added.

Shyam Telecom has fixed March 28 as the last date for submission of postal ballot to vote on the resolution for delisting of shares.
