The open offer will open on September 25 and close on October 24, a news release said. The offer price of Rs 40 per share is based on a 33-month high price since the announcement.

 

DSP Merrill Lynch Ltd, advisors to the offer, had earlier informed the BSE that J&P Coats along with Coats plc would make an open offer to buy 21,669,392 fully paid equity shares of Rs 10 each at Rs 40 per share.
