  37. DELISTING - CONTENTIOUS ISSUES • If shareholders are participating in the reverse book building process, why there is a requirement of postal ballot approval. Removing postal ballot requirement may reduce the timelines by around 45 days and also cost. At the end of day, till company is listed, it is shareholders money • How to service the remaining public shareholders, post delisting and new companies act related issued e.g. related party transactions, etc. • Companies listed exclusively on regional stock exchanges which have either exited or de-recognised by SEBI • Such companies moved to dessimination board of NSE and / or BSE • Either Company shall get itself listed on a stock exchange with nation wide platform or Promoters to provide an exit opportunity to the public shareholders • Period of 18 months provided to company / promoter to take necessary action • Failure to take action by the company / promoter will impact any future association of such company / promoter with securities market • Major issue: The circular for providing exit opportunity came in April 2015. However SEBI is yet to notify a process for exit opportunity. Pending any such notification, corporate houses (especially who have other listed operational companies) are taking judicious call and prudent steps for giving exit opportunity to the public shareholders of such listed companies and comply with SEBI circular ASAP.
