 Devaki Hospitals - Open offer: Reject - Sify.com
We believe that the 15 per cent premium of the offer price vis-à-vis the prevailing market price is not attractive enough for shareholders to tender their holdings (it may be noted that the entire differential will not accrue to shareholders, as gains through such off-market transactions would come under the ambit of capital gains tax).
Also, given the background of the acquirers and their interest in the construction business, the possibility of Devaki morphing into a realty play at a later date cannot be ruled out.
Though Devaki may not have the scale of some of the other hospital chains, it has strengths in the nephrology arena, and steps taken to better facilities would benefit shareholders directly.
