The Board of Directors of Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS), at its meeting held on
January 12, 2022 has approved a proposal to buyback up to four crore shares at
`
4,500 per share. The buy-back aggregates to
`
18,000 Cr, which represents
1.08% of
the total, paid up equity share capital. The buyback will be via the tender off
er route
and as per SEBI regulations, 15% of the offer size (~
`2,700 crore) will be reserved for
small shareholders holding shares upto a value of INR `2 lakh as on the record date.
As per the buyback norms, the reserved portion for the small shareholders is 15% or 6
0
lakh shares. At the price of `
4,500 per share the maximum number of shares held by an
individual will be 44 to qualify for the small
shareholder criteria. Based on the offer
letters and post buyback announcement for the last three buybacks, the total shares
held by such shareholders was <1% of the total outstanding shares.
Historically the
participation rate by small investors has been
less than 100% in all the three buybacks
between 2017 to 2020. However the participation rate has increased from 49.8% in the
2017 buyback to 76.6% and may
increase further in the forthcoming buyback given likely
increase in retail participation.
Therefor
e we believe that the acceptance ratio in the small shareholder category would
be lower than the past buybacks and could be in the range of 30-
50% in the forthcoming
buyback. Although the total returns can vary depending on the acceptance ratio, a
30%
to 50% acceptance ratio can yield profits between 5.8% to 8.8
% assuming that
investors are able to sell the balance shares at current price of `3,827 per share.

As seen in the table(s) below, this group of category has higher entitlement and
has seen limited participation which bodes wells from acceptance perspective.
The past entitlement ratios have come down from 45% to 40% and it is likely that
the upcoming entitlement ratio can trend lower between 35%-40%.
