Its a separate company, this doesnt affect them. Even if they have business w/ Route, it’ll go how it has always been. The CEO still stays the same, so personal relations stay intact.

Given Belgian company, foreign government involvement, and inorganic nature of management behaviour. I see the following risk.
- Large countries (like India) and strategically important companies in them (like banks) will be slightly vary of having something critical like customer messaging be run by an entity like RM. If they have a local choice like Tanla they would go with that.
- What will be the growth instinct of the new entity is difficult to predict? Maybe they want to grow at 15% instead of 20%. I am discounting the continuation of the current CEO in the future given their fickle nature.
Since I am invested with 4% of my portfolio in it, the best way forward for me is to wait for an open offer and offer all my stocks. There is about 10% upside from here which is not bad if the whole thing materialises in 6 months. As per my understanding the open offer is not live yet - it has only been announced. I check via the corporate actions section in Zerodha.

One point stuck out for me. RM being part of the same promoter group as TrueSense may or may not benefit in the international market due to this deal. It will depend on what new promoters want.
…we will be more interested how much synergy benefit can come to Route and how much can happen in TrueSense…

Why stock price is stagnant although it is having huge sales growth?
Promoter selling out his stake to Proximus.
Given that share price has already breached well past Proximus’ open offer price @1626, the acquisition
plans could end up in a soup if stock price reaches higher orbits.
Disc: Exited last week. Still tracking
@Vivek_Singh Are you still holding?

Previous promotors didn’t inform there shareholders about deal 
.
When I listen concall everyone is afraid that company is going to be delisted and it’s clear in concall no one have faith when they say it’s not going to delisted.
I am also earlier investor in route mobile but I have reduced stake in it.
That’s the main reason they are trading at PE multiple of 25.
Plus they always talk about they are going to improve there margin from next quarter but they always come with one reason.
Although I beleive they will improve there margins.

As per the post open offer advertisement, company will acquire 24.99% from public and increase their stake to 82.7%. If they do make a delisting announcement, which seems logical, won’t the price jump as investors will rush to buy? (out of the available 17% float, 5% has been cornered by an institution).
Does anyone know what happens if they don’t opt for delisting - will they be allowed 3 years time to dilute stake to 75% like it is permitted for newly listed companies?

Route mobile will cancel that shares so it’s like this .
Total number of shares:- 62788532−16405338(26% buyback shares)= 46383194
Public shareholder (non promoter):- 26374246−16405338= 9968908(21.49%)
New Promoter holding:- 79.51%
New EPS will also increase:- NET PROFIT/TOTAL SHARES.
DIVIDEND:- Will also increase.
I think they will stop buyback when they reach 75% as promoter.
Let’s see.
It was open offer & not buyback, so shares will not be cancelled .Proximus now holds 82.70% & they will have to bring it to 75% or they can go for delisting, which i have doubt.

Thanque for correcting.
Yes, it’s open offer where shares just change hands.
I don’t know if it will be of any help or not but I just watched Sanjiv Bhasin’s view on Route Mobile and he is quite optimistic about the company in the long term (2-3 years).
Watch from 4:05:
Disc : I am invested in the company.
They have to take down the holding to 75% in next 3 years
12 months not 3 years according to this article. 7.7% stake sale in another 1 year is causing this stock hit 52 week low.
“It now holds 82.7% in Route Mobile and has about 12 months, as per Sebi guidelines, to cut its stake down to 75% to ensure the public holding in the company is at least 25%.”
