BB – Share Buyback
Listed companies repurchasing their own shares — premium retail tender calendars and guidelines
What is BB – Share Buyback?
A Share Buyback (Stock Repurchase) occurs when a listed company purchases its own outstanding shares from existing shareholders. Buybacks reduce the total number of shares in circulation, boosting Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Return on Equity (ROE). In the Tender Offer method, the company repurchases shares at a designated premium price (often 10% to 30%+ above the current market price), with a dedicated 15% allocation reserve reserved exclusively for small retail investors.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Share Buyback?
A share buyback is a corporate transaction where a company repurchases its own shares from the market. It is a tax-efficient way for cash-rich companies to return surplus capital to their shareholders, signaling promoter confidence.
What is the difference between Tender Offer and Open Market Buybacks?
• Tender Offer: The company offers to buy back a fixed number of shares at a specific premium price directly from shareholders. This is highly profitable for retail investors.\n• Open Market: The company buys back shares directly from the stock exchange over a few months at prevailing market prices. Shareholders do not get a fixed premium price.
What is the Retail Reservation in Buybacks?
SEBI mandates a **15% reservation** for small shareholders in all tender offer buybacks. A small shareholder is defined as an individual holding shares of the company worth less than ₹2 Lakh on the record date. This reservation significantly increases the allotment/acceptance ratio for retail investors.
What is the Buyback Acceptance Ratio?
The acceptance ratio is the percentage of shares tendered by investors that are actually repurchased by the company. It depends on how many shareholders participate. If the entitlement ratio is 20% but many investors do not tender, the final acceptance ratio can be much higher (often 50% to 100% for retail investors).
