Following persons desires to change their status from promoters to public i.e. re-classification of promoters shareholders to public shareholders. With reference to SEBI regulations, advise whether they are eligible for reclassification? Mayank is holding 15% of total voting rights.

Answer & Explanation:

As per regulation 31A(3)(b)(i) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulation, 2015, the promoters seeking re-classification and persons related to the promoters seeking re-classification shall not together, hold more than ten percent of the total voting rights in the listed entity. Mayank is holding 15% of total voting rights in the listed entity. As Mayank, being a promoter, holds more than ten percent of the total voting rights in the listed entity, hence he is not eligible for re-classification as public shareholder.
