Under the creation of Social Stock Exchange (SSE), the Sebi board said, it will be used for purpose of fund raising by social entrepreneurs. SSE will be a separate segment of the existing stock exchanges. Social Enterprises (SEs) eligible to participate in the SSE should be entities, Non-Profit Organizations, and for-profit social enterprises, having social intent and impact as their primary goal. The framework for the SSE has been developed on the basis of the recommendations of a working group and technical group constituted by the regulator.
The Sebi board has decided to amend rules pertaining to delisting of equity shares of a company following an open offer as part of efforts to make merger and acquisition transactions more rational and convenient. It also eased eligibility requirements relating to Superior Voting Rights shares framework.
