Ahmed violated sections of the regulator's takeover code by speaking publicly against the open offer, the Burmans wrote to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi). Mint has seen a copy of the letter.
The Burman entities cited various statements made by Ahmed in an interview to The Economic Times on 29 November. These are: "Yes, board has rejected the open offer. The offer price is below the share price"; "The merits of the open offer are not very good. They want to replace the board and the management"; and "The company has come out of heritage problems. At such a time, the offer looks a bit fishy".
These statements make Ahmed "biased" and "not independent", the Burmans alleged in an 8 December letter, adding that they also violate Sebi's Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers (SAST) Regulations, 2011.
Terming them "careless", the letter said these are "pejorative views being disseminated without any reasoning" and violate guidelines as they were not published to the stock exchanges.
