ITC shares surged by 7.55% to Rs 438 following the announcement that British American Tobacco (BAT) Plc intends to sell about 3.5% of its stake in ITC to institutional investors through block deals on Wednesday. Despite the reduction, BAT, as ITC’s largest shareholder, will retain approximately 25.5% ownership post-transaction, preserving its strategic position in the leading domestic cigarette maker.

The proposed sale will be conducted within a price range of Rs 384 and 400.25 per share, implying a discount of up to 5% at the lower end of the range, based on ITC’s closing price on Tuesday on the BSE.

In the pre-market block window, approximately 43.7 crore ITC shares, representing 3.5% of the total equity of the company, were traded in a block deal. The shares were transacted at an average price of ₹400.4 each, resulting in a total transaction value of Rs 17,491 crore, as reported.

“To some extent the principles behind accessibility are good universal design principles,” game director Matthew Gallant said in a video that highlighted some of the new accessibility options. “Thankfully we’re able to think abo…

Wargo talked to Shawnee Delaney, the current chief executive of Vaillance Group, and a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer. Delaney was keen to explain how her previous experience in intelligence services was more relevant to the casino sector than anyone outside the industry could suspect.

Casinos Continue to Be Target for Bad Actors and Hackers

She put a stop to the speculation by explaining that malicious actors – whether they are spies or social engineers – use the same technique to infiltrate systems and networks, accessing all sorts of information. Delaney said that casinos are particularly vulnerable in their relationships with third parties.

This, she argued, allows hackers to penetrate third-party systems and from there on – the casinos themselves. It’…

According to a report from a source, the controversial leader made his decision public via a press conference outside 10 Downing Street this afternoon although confusion abounds as to how long the 58-year-old intends to remain the nation’s Prime Minister. This move was purportedly prefaced by a swath of high-level ministerial resignations including from the man who had been in charge of overseeing the ‘white paper’ review as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Tech and the Digital Economy, Chris Philp.

Positive plan:

Johnson’s government reportedly launched its investigation into the current state of the country’s iGaming market some 20 mont…
