🔍 Reclassification Process (Reg 31A Explained)

Aceso Company Pte. Ltd. wanted to exit as promoter. But SEBI doesn’t allow that without full compliance.
As per Regulation 31A, a promoter can only be reclassified if:

✅ They no longer hold >10% voting rights
✅ They have no board or management control
✅ No special rights (like shareholder agreements)
✅ No nominee directors
✅ Not declared wilful defaulters
✅ Not fugitive economic offenders

And guess what? Aceso ticked every single box ✅

DateCMPChange

1-Year Highâ‚č695
1-Year Lowâ‚č322
Market Capâ‚č7,000 Cr+

Stock is still 20%+ below highs, but holding strong after the ownership shift.
Investors are now waiting to see Hector’s strategy.


🧠 EduInvesting Take

This is NOT a regular promoter exit.

✅ What’s Good:

  • Clean, regulatory-compliant transfer
  • New promoter with deep pockets
  • Open offer = potential liquidity event
  • Oncology sector = high-margin, high-growth
  • PE control could mean better governance

❌ What’s Uncertain:

  • What’s Hector’s roadmap?
  • Will they delist eventually?
  • Any changes to hospital expansion strategy?
  • Impact on current doctor/management ecosystem?

🔼 What to Expect Next?

  1. Closure of open offer — watch for retail participation
  2. Business strategy update from Hector Asia
  3. Potential board reshuffle or CEO change?
  4. Aggressive expansion via M&A or greenfield projects
  5. Valuation rerating?

📊 Valuation Snapshot

MetricValue
Revenue (FY24)â‚č1,800 Cr (est.)
EBITDA Margin18–20%
PATâ‚č100 Cr+
P/E (TTM)~70x
CMPâ‚č540

Valuation is rich, but if Hector delivers higher profitability — rerating is possible.


🧯 Final Word

“HCG just got a new doctor — and this one carries a stethoscope AND a spreadsheet.”

Aceso out. Hector in.
Stock flat. But story just began.

For investors: This isn’t hype. It’s structured transition.
Watch the open offer response and follow the Hector playbook.
