In most mergers and amalgamations in India, you don’t get to choose. The consideration whether shares, cash, or a combination is predetermined by the deal structure and applies equally to all eligible shareholders.
If the deal includes a cash component, it is fixed and disclosed upfront. In a pure amalgamation, you receive only shares of the surviving entity in the announced swap ratio and there is no cash option.
If you’d prefer cash over the new shares received, you can sell them on the exchange once they are credited and begin trading.
Easy & quick
