2. Average buy price

As per the rules, in a given financial year number of shares bought back cannot exceed 25% of total number shares.

1. Sasken preserves the rights to stop buyback at any point of time.
2. There is no need to panic as trading of scrip would continue at least for 4 years including the current fiscal.
3. Its a personal request that we need not sell off the shares in a hurry. As investors of Sasken, lets help the company in getting the shares price to reasonable levels.
4. There would be many people who didn't book profits when share price soared to 600 levels. Company is willing to give back our Rs.260, then why don't just accept it. Why should we sell and go into losses for no reason unless you need money rightback.

Have a wonderful day.
