Infosys Sets Nov. 14 Record Date for Rs 18,000-Crore Buyback at Rs 1,800 a Share

Promoters will not participate, leaving the tender offer to return surplus cash primarily to public investors.

Overview

  • Infosys plans to repurchase up to 10 crore shares, representing about 2.41% of its paid-up equity capital.
  • The buyback will be executed via a SEBI-regulated tender on NSE and BSE, with a five-working-day window once the offer opens.
  • Fifteen percent of the offer is reserved for small shareholders under the tender-offer rules.
  • The board approved the program on September 11, and the stated price reflects roughly a 19% premium to the prevailing market level cited in coverage.
  • Under tax rules effective for buybacks after October 1, 2024, proceeds will be taxed to investors as deemed dividend rather than at the company level.
