Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (M&M) has completed the underlying transaction on August 1, 2025, acquiring 58.96% of SML Isuzu Limited (now being renamed to SML Mahindra Limited) from existing sellers, making M&M the new promoter with sole control. As a mandatory open offer under SEBI Takeover Regulations, M&M is now offering to buy an additional 26% stake (up to 37,62,628 shares) from public shareholders at INR 1,554.60 per share in cash. The tendering period runs from August 8 to August 22, 2025. The Independent Directors Committee, advised by SSPA & Co., has deemed the offer price fair and reasonable, but noted the current market price (~INR 3,470) is significantly higher than the offer price. Major board reshuffle has occurred, with new Mahindra appointees replacing Isuzu-aligned directors.
Existing public shareholders face a key decision: the offer price of INR 1,554.60 is well below current market price (~INR 3,470), so tendering is financially unattractive. Shareholders are likely better off holding the stock given M&M's new control and the likely strategic value under the Mahindra umbrella, though the stock may re-rate based on M&M's plans for the commercial vehicle business.
