In the case of oversubscription in the Offer, as per the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011 acceptance would be determined on a proportionate basis and hence there is no certainty that all the Shares tendered by the shareholders in the Offer will be accepted. 2. In the event that (a) there is any litigation leading to a “stay” of the Offer, or (b) SEBI instructing the Acquirer not to proceed with the Offer, then the Offer process may be delayed beyond the schedule of activities indicated in this Draft Letter of Offer.

The Shares tendered in the Offer will be held in trust by the Registrar to the Offer until the completion of the Offer formalities.
