In external reconstruction if PC is discharged by Rs.5 per share in cash and by giving 1 equity shares for every 5 share held and for fractional shares cash is to be paid Rs.13 per share
Then whether the fractional share holder will get cash for only fractional share or arlso other Rs.5
NOTE:
Mr.A held 116 shares & Mr.B held 84 shares of vendor company.
Please guide me
A similar question has been asked in exam.
The above interpretation is right.
If i remember correctly in this question PC is discharged as follows (for every 5 shares held):
1. 2 Equity share of Rs. 10. Shares valued at Rs. 15,
2. 1 Preference share of Rs 10 and
3. Rs 5 shares for each share
For fractional shares the consideration is Rs. 13 per share.
So, if Mr. A has 116 shares, he will get for 115 shares :
1. 46 equity shares of rs 15 each
2. 23 preference shares of rs 10 each
3. Cash for 115 shares i.e. Rs 575
And for the one share left he will get Rs 13.
And if you analyze, for the 115 shares he got the same amount of Rs 13 per share.
For equity 46*15 - Rs 690
For preference 23*10 - Rs 230
Cash - 115*5 - Rs 575
Total- Rs 1495 for 115 shares
For 1 share 1495/115 = Rs. 13
So he is getting the same amount as for the fractional shares i.e. Rs. 13 per share.
So he will not be getting extra Rs 5 cash for the fractional shares held.
I think that clears your doubt.
