Promoter Pledges Shares

Pledging of shares by promoters is a common thing in India and has been done for a number of years now. This is a simple practice where the promoters of a company raise a loan from a bank by pledging their equity stake in the company. The loan can then be used for either personal purposes or for the business itself.

While this is not a bad practice in itself, there is one situation where pledging of shares becomes dangerous for the company.

This is where the company is managed by the promoters and the stock market falls rapidly. In such a case, the bank will ask the promoters to shore up their collateral (pledged shares) with more cash or more shares. If the promoter is not able to shore up his collateral — the bank will sell off the pledged shares and the promoters will lose control of the management of the company.

This will cause uncertainty in the markets and the stock price will surely take a big hit.

This practice is legal in India and US, but, while in US the promoters are required to disclose their pledged shares, in India it is not so.

In the recent past SEBI has asked all Indian companies to disclose the amount of pledged shares by their promoters.

Here is a list of the companies that has responded to SEBI and disclosed the information. This list of companies shows the percentage of shares that have been pledged by the promoters as at Feb 2009.
