The board will discuss the Company Law Board's recent approval on inducting a strategic partner and consider the way of finding a suitable one for itself.

Various suitors, including Larsen and Toubro, the Spice Group and the Hinduja Group have expressed an interest in acquiring a stake in the 7800 crore fraud-hit Satyam.

The Company Law Board on Thursday allowed the Government-appointed board to bring in a strategic investor through an open bidding process. For this purpose, the CLB also permitted the board to increase the authorised share capital and issue preferential shares.
