It is reported that some companies recently approached the Stock Exchanges to change the record dates which were fixed earlier in consultation with the Stock Exchanges. It should be noted in this connection that in accordance with the Guidelines for Disclosures and Investor Protection issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI),
In continuation of our letter no. SE/4726 dated June 18, 1992 forwarding the Guidelines for Disclosures and Investor Protection regarding issue of capital, we are enclosing two press releases dated June 18, 1992 and July 16, 1992 issued by SEBI providing further clarifications on the subject, for your information and necessary action.
Please refer to our letter No.SE/3050 dated April 09, 1992 advising you, inter alia, to inform the PSUs which approach your Exchange for listing of their shares to send a set of disclosure documents to SEBI and to your Exchange, particularly the relevant information required in the abridged prospectus (“Memorandum” under Section 56(3) of the Companies Act, 1956). In this connection.
Please ensure immediate compliance to the above instructions as they are in the context of requirements of the ensuing Parliament session.
These guidelines will apply to all issues of capital made by companies hereafter. However, those companies holding consents from the controller of Capital Issues granted prior to the promulgation of the Ordinance may proceed with the issues on the terms and conditions contained therein, subject to the requirement that the guidelines now issued by SEBI would also apply to such issues to the extent they are not inconsistent with the terms of the CCI consents.
In respect of further issues, if there are no promoters, the “promoters contribution” will mean contribution by directors, friends, relatives, associates and contribution from them shall not be less than 25% or 20% of the total issue of equity capital as the case may be, with lock-in period of five years.
