    Tata Sons seeks Wadia's removal

  • Following the ouster of Tata Sons Chairman Cyrus Mistry, an old confidante, Nusli Wadia, targeted Ratan Tata.

    The 72-year-old Wadia Group Chairman and Tata Steel's Independent Director wrote to the steelmaker's shareholders accusing Tata of "possibly" violating insider trading regulations.

    He alleged Tata along with Tata Trusts Trustee NA Soonawala sought sensitive information about group's companies, violating Securities and Exchange Board of India's rules.

    Tata's access to sensitive information could be considered insider trading

  • Tata Trusts owns over 60% of Tata Sons; Tata and Soonawala are on Tata Sons board but not on group companies'.

    Wadia said they weren't supposed to be privy to the group companies' confidential information.

    He added their access to sensitive information could be considered insider trading.

    Insider trading involves a company's insider with access to such information that is traded for making profits.

  • Nusli Wadia wrote Tata, Soonawala, and the Tata Sons Board sought access to information and documents of Tata Steel, Tata Motors and other group companies even after Insider Trading Regulations notification in Jan'15.

    He also alleged that they demanded that senior members of the companies' management brief them and make presentations on various business proposals from time to time to them.

  • Quote

    Ratan Tata's involvement

  • Wadia's allegations come as the 143-year-old Tata Group is in the center of an ugly corporate battle with ousted Tata Sons Chairman Mistry. Mistry alleged Ratan Tata's involvement in Tata Group's board "created the added risk of contravening insider trading regulations and exposed the Trust."

  • Wadia said Ratan Tata failed to continue the leadership style of JRD Tata - whom Wadia considers a "mentor and godfather."

    He also added he was invited by JRD to join the board of Tata Steel.

    In his letter, Wadia wrote, "If any member of the Board disagreed with JRD, he not only respected it but appreciated it," suggesting Ratan doesn't practice the same.

  • Quote

    Ratan Tata not practicing JRD Tata's tradition: Wadia

  • Nusli Wadia, in his letter, wrote, "It is both sad and unfortunate that Tata Sons and its interim chairman Ratan Tata are not only not practicing this great tradition (of JRD Tata) but effectively destroying it."
