Sebi comes out with simplified disclosure format for portfolio managers

To facilitate ease of doing business, markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday came out with a simplified format for disclosure documents for portfolio managers. The 'disclosure document' has been divided into two sections -- static and dynamic -- the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in its circular. The dynamic section includes the content that undergoes frequent changes, whereas the static section includes disclosures that do not change frequently. Under the static section, portfolio managers need to disclose on disclaimer clauses, definitions, description, penalties, pending litigation or proceedings, findings of inspection for which action may have been taken or initiated by any regulatory authority, services offered, risk factors, nature of expenses, taxation, accounting policies, investors services and details of the diversification policy of the portfolio manager. In the dynamic section, portfolio managers need to disclose client representation, financial ...

Sebi eases IPO regulations, allows startup founders to retain ESOPs

In a big relief to startup founders looking to go public, Sebi has amended rules allowing them to retain Employee Stock options (ESOPs) granted at least one year before filing preliminary IPO (initial pubic offering) papers. "An employee who is identified as a 'promoter' or part of the 'promoter group' in the draft offer document filed by a company with the Board in relation to an IPO, and who was granted options, SAR (Stock Appreciation Rights) or any other benefit under any scheme at least one year prior to filing of the draft offer document, shall be eligible to continue to hold and/or exercise such options, SAR or any other benefit," Sebi said in a notification made public on Tuesday. The new rule would facilitate founders who received ESOPs at least one year before the filing of draft papers to continue holding or exercising such benefits even after being specified as the promoter and the company becoming a listed entity. Under the existing regulations, promoters are ineligible

Sebi revises InvITs norms, minimum investment slashed to ₹25 lakh

Markets regulator Sebi has notified rules to reduce the minimum allotment lot in the primary market for privately placed infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) to Rs 25 lakh, aligning it with the trading lot size in the secondary market. Prior to this, the minimum allotment lot in the primary market for privately placed InvITs was Rs 1 crore or Rs 25 crore, depending on the asset mix. However, in an earlier round of reforms, the trading lot size in the secondary market had already been reduced to Rs 25 lakh, irrespective of the asset mix. Accordingly, this amendment introduces a uniform minimum allotment size of Rs 25 lakh in the primary market for all privately placed InvITs, harmonizing it with the secondary market norms. Also, the regulator, through separate notifications dated September 1, enhanced the ease of doing business for the activities of Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) by amending rules. Under the norms, Sebi sai

Sebi notifies easier delisting rules for PSUs with 90% govt holding

Markets regulator Sebi has introduced special measures for voluntary delisting of PSUs, where the government owns 90 per cent or more stake, in a move aimed at streamlining the exit process. Such measures include relaxations from the requirement of a two-thirds threshold for approving delisting by public shareholders and in the mode of computation of the floor price. Also, such delisting can happen at a fixed price at least 15 per cent premium over the floor price-- regardless of trading frequency. In its notification dated September 1, Sebi said the rule is applicable for PSUs-- excluding banks, Non-banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and insurance companies-- where the state owns 90 per cent or more stake. The floor price for delisting will be calculated using the highest of three options-- volume weighted average price paid during the 52 weeks immediately preceding the reference date; highest price paid during the 26 weeks immediately preceding the reference date; and the pri

SC Judge Chandran recuses from PIL seeking probe into Viceroy-Vedanta case

Supreme Court judge Justice K Vinod Chandran on Monday recused from hearing a plea seeking directions to authorities to investigate allegations made by US short seller Viceroy Research that billionaire Anil Agarwal's mining conglomerate was "financially unsustainable" and posing severe risk to creditors. Taking note of Justice Chandran's recusal, the bench also comprising Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Atul Chandurkar adjourned the plea filed by advocate Shakti Bhatia. Bhatia, in his plea, contended that he independently corroborated portions of the Viceroy report, particularly regarding undisclosed related-party transactions, by reviewing MCA21 filings, SEBI disclosures and Registrar of Companies records. The petition submitted that certain high-value transactions involved counterparties neither declared as related parties nor subjected to shareholder approval as mandated. Viceroy Research had released a report charging billionaire Agarwal's mining conglomerate as "financial
