Infosys Share Price in Focus; Moves Forward with Buyback After SEC Exemption

Infosys Limited, in its Board meeting held on September 11, 2025, approved a proposal to buy back up to 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares of face value ₹5 each.

The total buyback size is set at ₹18,000 crore, in line with the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the Companies Act, 2013, and other applicable rules. This represents 2.41% of the company’s equity capital.

SEC Grants Exemptive Relief

As part of the process, Infosys sought exemptive relief from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to address conflicting procedural requirements between Indian and U.S. laws governing tender offer buybacks. The SEC, through a letter dated September 11, 2025, granted the requested exemption. This letter will soon be available on the SEC’s official website.

Shareholder Approval and Next Steps

The proposed buyback remains subject to shareholder approval via a special resolution through postal ballot. The record date for determining shareholder eligibility will be announced in due course. A public announcement detailing the process, timelines, and other statutory requirements will also follow as per SEBI regulations.

Additional Information Under U.S. Law

Infosys has clarified that the buyback has not yet commenced as it awaits shareholder approval. The company emphasised that this communication does not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell its securities. 

If approved, the buyback process will be conducted under a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, to be filed with the SEC. Shareholders are advised to carefully review these documents, along with any amendments, before making decisions related to the buyback.
