JSW Paints Limited, part of the JSW Group (Sajjan Jindal), along with PACs JTPM Metal Traders and JSW EduInfra, has announced a mandatory open offer to public shareholders of Akzo Nobel India Limited to acquire up to 1,14,95,979 equity shares (25.24% of voting capital) at ₹3,417.77 per share, aggregating up to ₹3,929.06 crore in cash. This open offer is triggered by a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) dated June 27, 2025, under which JSW Paints will buy up to 74.76% stake (3,40,44,335 shares) from existing promoters — Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd and Akzo Nobel Coatings International B.V. — at ₹2,762.05 per share, worth about ₹9,403.21 crore. After the deal and open offer, JSW Paints and PACs will hold up to 75% of Akzo Nobel India, and the current foreign promoters will be reclassified as public shareholders. The transaction is subject to Competition Commission of India approval, and the Detailed Public Statement is expected by July 4, 2025. Morgan Stanley India is the manager to the open offer.
For Akzo Nobel India shareholders, this is a direct cash exit opportunity at a premium-determined open offer price, though the open offer price of ₹3,417.77 is higher than the SPA price of ₹2,762.05 paid to promoters. Post-deal, Akzo Nobel India will come under JSW Group control, and public shareholding may fall below the minimum 25% threshold, raising potential delisting or further buyout concerns.
