This means that investors will have to hold shares in Tata Motors DVR on September 1, to be eligible for the conversion.

The company’s DVR conversion plan was approved by the shareholders in May, with 99.8% votes in favour. The DVR conversion plan is a step towards simplifying the company’s capital structure and providing equal voting rights to all shareholders.

The scheme, initially announced in July last year, involves issuing seven ordinary shares of Tata Motors for every 10 A-ordinary shares held. After this exchange, all outstanding A-ordinary shares will be cancelled.
