The main issue was allocation of shares, which is being done," Kiran Karnik, Chairman, Board of Satyam, said in New Delhi
Later Mahindra Satyam in a statement said its board of directors has allotted 19.86 crore additional shares to Venturebay, which would take Tech Mahindra's stake to approximately 43 per cent of the outstanding share capital.
