AI summary

Octaware Technologies Ltd (BSE SME, Scrip Code: 540416) has informed the exchange about receiving the Letter of Offer for an Open Offer from Walking Tree Technologies Private Limited (Hyderabad-based). The Open Offer is to acquire up to 9,34,400 equity shares (26.02% of voting share capital) from public shareholders at ₹30 per share, aggregating to roughly ₹2.80 crore. This Open Offer follows a Share Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2025, under which promoter Mohammed Aslam Qudratullah Khan is selling 12,48,000 shares (34.76% stake) to Walking Tree Technologies at ₹25 per share, totalling ₹3.12 crore. Post-deal, Walking Tree Technologies (owned by Pradeep Lavania and Alok Ranjan) will become a joint promoter with joint control of the company. The acquirer already holds 4,00,000 shares (11.14%) bought in the open market on August 5, 2025 at ₹25.46/share. The tendering period runs from November 28, 2025 to December 11, 2025.

Likely market impact

Public shareholders can tender their shares at ₹30 between Nov 28 and Dec 11, 2025. Post-acquisition, Walking Tree Technologies will hold a controlling stake and become a joint promoter, which may lead to board reconstitution and a possible delisting risk since public shareholding may fall below the mandatory 25% threshold.
