The full read
Jai Mata Glass is getting a new set of owners. Ashwani Gulati, Kiran Gulati and Veerasha Trust have agreed to buy a 44.57% controlling stake from the promoters for ₹8.24 crore, effectively ₹1.85 per share. That same price now applies to public shareholders via a mandatory open offer for 26% of the company, or about 2.6 crore shares. The company's glass agency business has wound down; it has been a shell hunting for a new purpose. With a market cap of just ₹18 crore and zero revenue, the acquisition is a bet on whatever the new promoters bring next. This open offer is a clean exit for minority holders at the promoter's price, a rare and fair deal. What the Gulati group does with the shell will determine the next chapter.
