Banyan Tree to take Sri Lanka unit private
Banyan Tree controls 79.8 percent of Beruwala Walk Inn, a hotel that was hit by a tsunami in 2004.
The firm said it needed a fresh capital infusion to rebuild the hotel. But if some minority shareholders do not take up their entitlements of shares, the company will not be able to meet a requirement for a 20 percent minimum public float.
The firm said in a stock exchange filing that the majority shareholder would offer 120 rupees per share. The stock last traded at 104 rupees.
Beruwala Walk Inn is one of the early victims of the minimum public float rule.
The rule was brought by authorities after being egged on by interventionists shortly after stock manipulations during a stock market bubble fired by low interest rates and margin credit.

Re: Delisting - Beruwala Walk Inn
then more than 70 stocks in this market under minimum float rule. so those are good to buy if they delist.
Re: Delisting - Beruwala Walk Inn
Banyan Tree Holdings Limited needs to pay around 181,366 x 120 = 21,763,920 to acquire the balance shares held by public.(which is around 20.04%)
I think its a win - win move for Banyan Tree Holdings Limited.

So you say that the fair value of the land is not reflected in the books is it?
Anyhow, with all the hopeful listing spree, now we might see more de-listings because of the new rule. In any case, there would be more 'tradeable' stocks on the CSE

Do anyone here holds this share? Any notification?
