Zenrock Chemicals launches Open Offer for Indo Borax & Chemicals at ₹256.30 per share
Zenrock Chemicals, along with its concert parties, is launching an open offer to acquire 26.00% of Indo Borax & Chemicals for ₹256.30 per share. The total offer value is ₹213.84 crore. This follows a share purchase agreement to acquire 50.80% of the company for ₹417.77 crore.
An open offer of this magnitude, involving a significant percentage of the company's share capital and a change in promoter, is expected to have a high impact on the company's ownership structure and market dynamics.
The announcement details a mandatory open offer triggered by a substantial acquisition of shares. While it involves a significant transaction, the terms are standard for such corporate actions, leading to a neutral sentiment.
Zenrock Chemicals Private Limited, along with India Special Assets Fund III, ISAF III Onshore Fund, and Special Situation India Fund (collectively the 'Acquirer' and 'PACs'), has announced an open offer to acquire up to 83,43,400 equity shares of Indo Borax & Chemicals Limited. This represents 26.00% of the company's voting share capital.
The offer price is fixed at ₹256.30 per equity share, payable in cash. The total consideration for the open offer, assuming full acceptance, amounts to ₹213.84 crore.
This open offer is a mandatory triggered offer, following the execution of a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) on December 15, 2025, between the Acquirer and the Sellers (Sajal Sushilkumar Jain, Saumya Sajal Jain, Sreelekha Sajal Jain, Sajal Sushilkumar Jain HUF, Pranika Saumya Jain, and Shubhra Jain Sivaradjou). Through the SPA, the Acquirer and PACs intend to acquire 1,63,00,230 equity shares, representing 50.80% of the total paid-up equity share capital, for an aggregate consideration of ₹417.77 crore.
The Acquirer and PACs do not intend to delist the company. Following the acquisition and the open offer, the Acquirer will exercise sole control over Indo Borax & Chemicals Limited and will be classified as the 'promoter'. The Sellers will cease to be in control and will be declassified from the promoter group.
