December 07, 2001: Noticee 1 had acquired 6,50,000 shares constituting 21.67% of paid up
share capital of the Target Company on December 07, 2001 as a result of which his
shareholding increased from 0.38% to 21.83% which necessitated the Noticee to make public
announcement under Regulation 10 of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997. However Noticee1
failed to make the Public Announcement.

paid up share capital of the Target Company as a result of which the shareholding of all the
Noticees increased from 0.47% to 48.50%. This acquisition was also done without making a
public announcement as required under regulation 10 of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997.




 Pre-Holding 0.47%                     Allotment of 48.02% shares                Post-Holding 48.50%

  SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997. However no Public Announcement was made.

  Delayed Public Announcement Made on April 21, 2009 under
  SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997
  On April 21, 2009, a public announcement for Open Offer was made by the Noticee 1 and
  Noticee 2 under Regulation 11(1) and 11(2) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997 in respect of the
  above acquisition of shares by way of preferential allotment. However, as the Noticees along
  with other promoters of the Target Company were holding 75% shares as on the date of PA and
  they also intend to delist the Target Company in case public shareholding falls to below 25% on
  the completion of Takeover Open Offer, therefore, SEBI has directed them to withdraw the
  Takeover Open Offer and provide an exit opportunity to the shareholders of the Target
  Company by way of delisting offer.

                                                                                                    TOP

Initiation of Adjudication Proceedings:
On November 17, 2011, show cause notices were issued to all the Notices for the above
mentioned acquisition of shares by way of preferential allotment in violation of SEBI (SAST)
Regulations, 1997.

Contentions raised by the Notices: Upon the SCN issued, Notices made the followings
contentions:
The Notices stated that show cause notice is bad in law as they had made an open offer in year
2009 which SEBI has asked them to withdraw and make a delisting offer at a new price, which
was complied with.
The complete compliance of SEBI directions dated December 3, 2009 was done by the
Noticees, as they withdrew the open offer, then offered a higher price of Rs. 35.22 per share
and made a delisting offer. However the public shareholders rejected the delisting offer.
The allotment of shares on February 7, 2001 through preferential allotment was exempt from
making public announcement under the then existing Regulation 3(1)(c) of SEBI (SAST)
Regulations, 1997 which was deleted w.e.f. 09.09.2002.
No Change in control.
The shares in question got listed in OTCEI in year 2011.
Further, till now, the trading permission has not been given.
The Noticees made the reference of the judgment of Hon’ble SAT in the matter of Fascinating
Leasing & Finance Pvt. Ltd. v/s SEBI wherein it was decided that unlisted shares are not under
                        the purview of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997.
                        The Noticees also made the reference of the judgment of Hon’ble SAT in
                        the matter of Mr. Jogeshwar Rijumal Karachiwala and others v/s SEBI
                        wherein it was said that the shares were allotted to the appellants had
                        never been listed on any stock exchange and that the trading in the scrip
                        of the company had been suspended since January 7, 2002 which is still
                        continuing, therefore the default committed by the Appellants did not
                        make any adverse effect in the market……”

1. As regards the acquisition on December 7, 2001 is concerned, the same was exempt under the
   then existing Regulation 3(1) (c) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997 provided that the conditions
   specified in the regulation are complied with. On verification, it was found that all the conditions
   have been complied with. However, SEBI database does not contain any details of his having
   filed the report u/r 3(4) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997.


   However, referring to the judgment of Hon’ble SAT in the matter of Mr. Jogeshwar Rijumal
   Karachiwala and others v/s SEBI, the Adjudicating Officer (AO) held that in respect of the said
   acquisition there was no adverse effect on the market as there was no trading in the scrip of
   ZIM, thus, benefit of doubt is given to Anwar S Daud.
2. However AO observed that pursuant to the allotment on March 01, 2007, March 21, 2008 and
   May 20, 2008, the shareholding of the Noticees increased beyond the limit prescribed in
   Regulation 10, 11(1) and 11(2) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulation, 1997, requiring them to make
   public announcement. However, they did not make the Public Announcement at that point of
   time, thereby violating the aforesaid regulations.
3. Moreover AO observed that SAT had never held in the case of Fascinating Leasing & Finance
   Pvt. Ltd. v/s SEBI that SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997 are not applicable to the unlisted shares
   of a listed company but had considered the unlisted shares only as one of the mitigating factors
   in reducing the penalty. The shares allotted on preferential basis to the Noticees got listed only
   on February 2011 is not relevant as the Noticees were enjoying voting rights pursuant to the
   allotment of the shares and therefore the shares fall under the purview of SEBI (SAST)
   Regulations, 1997.
4. AO further noted that by not Public Announcement at relevant point of time, the Noticees have
   avoided the expenditure which otherwise they would have incurred. Thus to this extent they
   have earned disproportionate gain or unfair advantage.
5. The violations are repetitive in nature as the Noticees crossed the threshold limit thrice.



   Verdict of Adjudicating Officer:
   However considering the fact that Noticees have made the Public Announcement on April 21,
   2009 to regularize their past violations and there was no change in control and management of

                                                    18
                                                                                                          TOP
the Target Company pursuant to the above preferential allotment, Adjudicating Officer imposed
the penalty of Rs. 50,00,000 upon all the Noticee for violation of Regulation 10 and 11 of SEBI
(SAST) Regulations, 1997.



Appeal to SAT

Against the above order of Adjudicating officer imposing a penalty of Rs. 50 Lakh, the Noticees
have filed an appeal before SAT.

The Hon’ble Tribunal observed that:
   •   Direction of the SEBI vide letter dated December 3, 2009 to withdraw the public
       announcement by making a delisting offer under the delisting regulations cannot be said
       to regularize the breach of provisions of the takeover code by the Noticees.
   •   Further the letter itself made it clear that the direction in the letter is without prejudice to
       any action which might be taken by the Board under the takeover code.
   •   Further, the fact that the Target Company is listed on OTCEI and there is no trading in
       the shares since July 1998 is no reason for not to comply with statutory requirements.
   •   The shares allotted on preferential basis to the Noticees got listed only on February
       2011 is not relevant as the Noticees were enjoying voting rights pursuant to the
       allotment of the shares and therefore the shares fall under the purview of SEBI (SAST)
       Regulations, 1997.

However, the above factors can be considered as mitigating factors while imposing the penalty
on the Noticees. Moreover, as it is not a case of market manipulation or of investor’s interest
having been adversely affected and there is no change in management, therefore, the Hon’ble
reduced the penalty from Rs.50 Lakh to Rs.10 Lakh.

  • 18. Observation by Adjudicating Officer 1. As regards the acquisition on December 7, 2001 is concerned, the same was exempt under the then existing Regulation 3(1) (c) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997 provided that the conditions specified in the regulation are complied with. On verification, it was found that all the conditions have been complied with. However, SEBI database does not contain any details of his having filed the report u/r 3(4) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997. However, referring to the judgment of Hon’ble SAT in the matter of Mr. Jogeshwar Rijumal Karachiwala and others v/s SEBI, the Adjudicating Officer (AO) held that in respect of the said acquisition there was no adverse effect on the market as there was no trading in the scrip of ZIM, thus, benefit of doubt is given to Anwar S Daud. 2. However AO observed that pursuant to the allotment on March 01, 2007, March 21, 2008 and May 20, 2008, the shareholding of the Noticees increased beyond the limit prescribed in Regulation 10, 11(1) and 11(2) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulation, 1997, requiring them to make public announcement. However, they did not make the Public Announcement at that point of time, thereby violating the aforesaid regulations. 3. Moreover AO observed that SAT had never held in the case of Fascinating Leasing & Finance Pvt. Ltd. v/s SEBI that SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997 are not applicable to the unlisted shares of a listed company but had considered the unlisted shares only as one of the mitigating factors in reducing the penalty. The shares allotted on preferential basis to the Noticees got listed only on February 2011 is not relevant as the Noticees were enjoying voting rights pursuant to the allotment of the shares and therefore the shares fall under the purview of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997. 4. AO further noted that by not Public Announcement at relevant point of time, the Noticees have avoided the expenditure which otherwise they would have incurred. Thus to this extent they have earned disproportionate gain or unfair advantage. 5. The violations are repetitive in nature as the Noticees crossed the threshold limit thrice. Verdict of Adjudicating Officer: However considering the fact that Noticees have made the Public Announcement on April 21, 2009 to regularize their past violations and there was no change in control and management of 18 TOP
  • 19. the Target Company pursuant to the above preferential allotment, Adjudicating Officer imposed the penalty of Rs. 50,00,000 upon all the Noticee for violation of Regulation 10 and 11 of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997. Appeal to SAT Against the above order of Adjudicating officer imposing a penalty of Rs. 50 Lakh, the Noticees have filed an appeal before SAT. The Hon’ble Tribunal observed that: • Direction of the SEBI vide letter dated December 3, 2009 to withdraw the public announcement by making a delisting offer under the delisting regulations cannot be said to regularize the breach of provisions of the takeover code by the Noticees. • Further the letter itself made it clear that the direction in the letter is without prejudice to any action which might be taken by the Board under the takeover code. • Further, the fact that the Target Company is listed on OTCEI and there is no trading in the shares since July 1998 is no reason for not to comply with statutory requirements. • The shares allotted on preferential basis to the Noticees got listed only on February 2011 is not relevant as the Noticees were enjoying voting rights pursuant to the allotment of the shares and therefore the shares fall under the purview of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 1997. However, the above factors can be considered as mitigating factors while imposing the penalty on the Noticees. Moreover, as it is not a case of market manipulation or of investor’s interest having been adversely affected and there is no change in management, therefore, the Hon’ble reduced the penalty from Rs.50 Lakh to Rs.10 Lakh. 19 TOP
