Mr. Saroj Kumar Choudhury, currently Managing Director of Oxford Industries Ltd, has triggered a mandatory open offer to acquire up to 15,45,271 equity shares (26% of paid-up capital) from public shareholders at Rs. 5 per share. This follows a Share Purchase Agreement dated March 12, 2026, under which he will buy 25,97,370 shares (43.70%) from the existing promoter group (the Laila family) at about Rs. 3.62 per share. Post-offer, the Acquirer will hold 72.46% of the company, taking management control. The offer window runs from June 12, 2026 to June 25, 2026. Notably, the Target Company is in serious financial distress: it reported a net loss of Rs. 50.31 lacs in FY25, accumulated losses of Rs. 1,347.71 lacs have fully eroded its net worth, current liabilities exceed current assets by Rs. 171.13 lacs, and the auditor flagged material uncertainty on going concern.
Public shareholders can tender shares at Rs. 5 per share during the offer window. The takeover will result in a complete change of promoter, with the existing Laila family exiting entirely. Given the company's weak financials and going concern doubts, shareholders should weigh the offer price against the stock's market value and the underlying business risk before deciding to tender.
