RIL’s subsidiary approaches SAT against Rs 11 crore SEBI penalty

10 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Reliance Petroinvestments, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries’ subsidiary, has moved Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) against Rs 11 crore penalty imposed by SEBI in an over six-year-old insider trading case. The appeal, which would be heard by the Tribunal on July 11, challenging SEBI’s order dated May 2 in a case of insider trading in the shares of IPCL, an erstwhile subsidiary of RIL.

SEBI imposed a penalty of Rs 11 crore on Reliance Petroinvestments, after finding the company guilty of violating the insider trading regulations with regard to its dealings in shares of Indian Petrochemicals Corp (IPCL) in early 2007, a company that RIL had acquired and in which RPIL held a controlling stake, resulting into a gain of Rs 3.82 crore.

In the year 2007, the RIL’s arm bought about 2.13 million shares of IPCL at an average price of Rs 259.42 per share for Rs 55.5 crore just prior to the two big announcements, pertaining to IPCL’s amalgamation with RIL and regarding a dividend that IPCL was to announce, thereby underscoring that the company had clear access to this information being an insider. Reliance Petroinvestments was listed as a ‘promoter having control over the company’ and Reliance Industries as a ‘person(s) acting in concert’, according to disclosures made by IPCL.
