CARE Ratings gained 2.29% to Rs 468.75 after the company's board approved a proposal to buy back up to 23.68 lakh shares of the company at a price of Rs 515 per share.

The maximum consideration payable in cash for the proposed buyback shall not exceed Rs 1,21,95,20,000, the credit rating agency said.

The number of shares that the company proposes to buyback represents 7.99% of the total issued and paid-up equity share capital of the company.

The company is professionally managed and does not have any identifiable promoters or promoter group and persons in control. Public shareholders held 29,648,880 shares of the company as on 15 July 2022. Post buy-back, the number of shares held by the public will come down to 27,280,880.
