MUMBAI: Shareholders of Satyam have rebuffed the open offer made by IT firm Tech Mahindra as only 4,20,915 shares, or 0.1 per cent stake, in the company were tendered in the offer.
IT firm Tech Mahindra had proposed to acquire 198,658,498 shares representing 20 per cent stake in the company through the open offer.
In a regulatory filing Tech Mahindra said, "A total of 420,915 shares of Satyam common stock (including 268,656 shares underlying ADSs) were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing less than 0.1 per cent of the outstanding shares of common stock."
While the open offer for acquiring up to a 20 per cent stake was made at a price of Rs 58 per share, the share for Satyam Computer is at present hovering around Rs 75, over 29 per cent higher than open offer price.
