The full read
Skybridge Interactive's mandatory open offer for Baba Arts closed with near-zero participation, just 602 shares out of 1.33 crore on offer. Negligible. The acquirer's holding stays at 74.67%, the same level it reached through the share purchase agreement. The ₹6 offer price drew total consideration of only ₹3,612, a clear signal that public shareholders saw no reason to sell. This is a routine compliance filing, not a market-moving event. The company's fundamentals remain unchanged: trailing P/E of 113.7, ROE of 5.4%, and FY26 net profit of ₹65.30 lakh, half the prior year's. The open question now is whether Skybridge will attempt a delisting or move on.
Questions answered
- How many shares were tendered in Baba Arts' open offer?
- Only 602 shares out of a maximum of 1,32,92,000 shares were tendered and accepted, representing a total consideration of ₹3,612 at the offer price of ₹6 per share.
- What is Skybridge Interactive's holding now?
- The acquirer's holding remains at 74.67%, the same level acquired earlier under the share purchase agreement, far short of the 99.99% that full subscription would have achieved.
- Why did so few shareholders tender?
- The offer price of ₹6 per share likely did not attract public shareholders, who may have expected a higher price or prefer to hold given the stock's market cap of ₹74 crore and the company's recent revenue growth.
- Does this change anything for Baba Arts' operations or strategy?
- No. The open offer outcome has no material impact on the company's financials, ownership structure, or strategic direction. It was a routine regulatory compliance event.
