The Magnum Ice Cream Company HoldCo 1 Netherlands B.V. (formerly part of the Unilever group) has completed the underlying acquisition of 61.90% (145.44 crore shares) of Kwality Wall's (India) Limited on March 30, 2026, and has now formally opened a mandatory open offer for an additional 26% stake (up to 61.09 crore shares) at INR 21.33 per share. The total maximum consideration is about INR 1,303 crore, fully deposited in escrow. The tendering period runs from April 23, 2026 to May 7, 2026. Kwality Wall's only began trading on February 16, 2026, so the shares are classified as not frequently traded, and the INR 21.33 price is based on independent valuation reports. The Independent Directors Committee has deemed the offer price fair and reasonable under SEBI rules, but flagged that the market price on April 15, 2026 was INR 25.22–25.23, which is higher than the offer price, and advised shareholders to make their own informed decision. New directors from Magnum (Abhijit Bhattacharya as Chairperson and Tahir Toloy Tanridagli) have joined the board, and the earlier promoters have been reclassified as public shareholders.
For public shareholders: the open offer price (INR 21.33) is currently below the prevailing market price (~INR 25.22), so selling in the offer may not be attractive versus holding or selling in the market. The acquirer has already secured control with 61.90%, meaning the stock now trades under a new controlling promoter (Magnum/Unilever's former ice cream business), which could affect minority shareholder influence and long-term corporate direction.
