If a client holds stock on the record date, but he sells the stock after it. Now, can he participate in the buyback ?

  •  In such a case, the client will be eligible because he was holding the stock on the record date.
  •  If the client wants to participate now in the buyback, then, he have to buy the stock first and then apply for buyback.
