SEBI Valuation Experts in India
Elite Valuation is a premier financial advisory firm headquartered in Ahmedabad, specializing in the complex regulatory landscape of listed entities. Operating under the direct leadership of CA Sagar Shah (Ex-EY, IBBI Registered Valuer), we combine the technical rigor of a "Big 4" firm with the agility of a specialized boutique.
In the world of listed securities, we function as dedicated governance gatekeepers. We act as the independent voice that Corporate Boards and Audit Committees rely on to certify that a transaction is conducted at "Arm's Length". From calculating the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to providing Fair Valuation analysis for NCLT schemes, our mandate is to deliver quantitative clarity that protects Directors and Shareholders alike.
Our Specialized SEBI Valuation Solutions
We provide end-to-end Valuation support tailored to the specific regulations governing listed companies:
Fairness Opinions for Mergers
Protect Your Board with Independent Validation
In high-stakes corporate restructuring, the Board of Directors faces immense pressure to demonstrate fiduciary care. Under SEBI (LODR) regulations, any Scheme of Arrangement (Merger/Demerger) submitted to the NCLT must be accompanied by a Fairness Opinion from an independent expert.
We provide robust Fairness Opinions that act as a shield for your directors against potential shareholder lawsuits. We independently validate the Valuation report, certifying that the Swap Ratio is fair to all classes of shareholders, including the minority public float.
Valuation for Takeovers & Exits
SAST Compliance and Delisting Support
When an acquirer triggers the "Takeover Code" (SEBI SAST), they must make an Open Offer to public shareholders. The offer price cannot be arbitrary; it must be determined by analyzing historical trading volumes, previous acquisition prices, and fundamental value parameters.
For companies seeking Delisting, we assist in the Valuation of floor price calculation that serves as the base for the Reverse Book Building (RBB) process. This ensures that the exit offer is compliant and provides a strong benchmark for exit negotiations.
Pricing for New Share Issues
Navigate SEBI (ICDR) Pricing Norms with Precision
Raising capital through a Preferential Issue or Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) requires strict adherence to pricing formulas. You cannot simply pick up a price; you must calculate the "Floor Price" based on regulatory mandates.
We perform the mandatory calculations under SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, typically involving:
- Compliance with issue pricing requirements prescribed under SEBI (ICDR) Regulations.
- Verification of regulatory conditions applicable to equity and convertible securities issuance.
- Alignment with SEBI-mandated disclosures, approvals, and allotment requirements.
