Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited is making a mandatory open offer to acquire up to 4,17,45,264 equity shares (26% of expanded share capital) of J.B. Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Limited at ₹1,639.18 per share, aggregating to ₹6,842.80 crore in cash. The open offer is triggered by a Share Purchase Agreement signed on June 29, 2025, under which Torrent will buy 7,44,81,519 shares (46.39%) from existing promoter Tau Investment Holdings Pte. Ltd. at ₹1,600 per share, totalling about ₹11,917 crore. If the open offer is fully accepted, Torrent's total holding in JB Chemicals will rise to 72.39%. The boards of both companies have also approved a scheme of amalgamation to merge JB Chemicals into Torrent, with shareholders to receive Torrent shares in a pre-agreed swap ratio. The open offer is not conditional on minimum acceptance, and Torrent has stated no intention to delist JB Chemicals. Approvals from the Competition Commission of India and Torrent's shareholders are required to complete the deal.
This is a positive, price-supportive event for JB Chemicals shareholders, as the open offer price of ₹1,639.18 typically acts as a near-term floor for the stock. Shareholders have the option to tender shares in the open offer or hold for the proposed merger consideration. The acquisition gives Torrent a controlling 46.39% stake with potential to consolidate to 72.39%, and the subsequent merger scheme could drive further upside depending on the final swap ratio.
