Indo Borax & Chemicals Limited has announced that it is in receipt of a public announcement dated December 15, 2025, regarding an open offer for its public shareholders. Zenrock Chemicals Private Limited, along with India Special Assets Fund III, ISAF III Onshore Fund, and Special Situation India Fund (collectively referred to as PACs), are making the open offer to acquire up to 83,43,400 equity shares, representing 26.00% of the voting share capital. The offer price is ₹256.30 per equity share, resulting in a total offer size of ₹213.84 crore (assuming full acceptance).
This open offer is a triggered offer, necessitated by a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) executed on December 15, 2025, between the Acquirer, PACs, and the Sellers (Sajal Sushilkumar Jain, Saumya Sajal Jain, Sreelekha Sajal Jain, Sajal Sushilkumar Jain HUF, Pranika Saumya Jain, and Shubhra Jain Sivaradjou). Under the SPA, the Acquirer and PACs have agreed 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 will acquire 30.80%, PAC 1 will acquire 7.44%, PAC 2 will acquire 7.56%, and PAC 3 will acquire 5.00% of the equity shares.
Following the acquisition under the SPA and the open offer, the Acquirer will exercise sole control over Indo Borax & Chemicals Limited and will be classified as the promoter. The PACs will not exercise control and are considered persons acting in concert solely for the purpose of this transaction. The sellers will cease to be promoters and will be declassified. The Acquirer has confirmed adequate financial resources for the open offer, with financing arrangements in place, including debentures and compulsorily convertible preference shares subscribed by the PACs.
