The Company is principally engaged in telecom businesses viz. “Networking, Voice and Data Centre” which is highly capital intensive and subject to regulatory controls. The Management has carried out a comprehensive review of the business and its future growth possibilities. Based on the review and recommendation, the Board of Directors has decided to transfer the non-telecom businesses viz. “eLearning business”, “Software Development Team Associates with product development / monitoring / implementation and products comprising Forum, ITEST, SLEM, BEACON and DMS” along with all the employees, assets and liabilities of the undertakings including all the contracts, consents, goodwill, licences, permits, Intellectual Property Rights and approvals, whatsoever, to “Sify Networks Private Limited” (or such other name as may be changed before the Transfer Date), a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, with effect from October 1, 2009 or such other date as may be decided by the Board of Directors of the Company for a consideration of Rs.45 crores (subject to adjustment in values arising out of the transactions between the Company and the Subsidiary between the Valuation Date and the actual date of Transfer) arrived at on the basis of the independent valuation of the Undertakings done by M/s Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Pvt. Ltd., based on the audited financials of March 31, 2009, as a going concern and by way of slump sale. The rationale for transferring these businesses is to enable the Company to focus on its telecom business. The non-telecom businesses will consequently get better focus by the subsidiary Company with independent management to take advantage of the huge untapped potentials prevailing in the market for scaling up the business.
a)   eLearning:
This Division is engaged in developing custom e-learning content services, content management and learning technology services delivered as Web based Training (WBT) or Instructor Led Training (ILT) programs.
The business has been valued at Rs.30.60 crores including the working capital on the Earnings Based Model based on the audited financials of March 31, 2009 to be suitably adjusted at the actual date of transfer. The business will be transferred as a going concern and by way of a slump sale.
b)   Software Development along with Team Associates and products:
  (i)   Software Development:
 
      This Division is engaged in developing Software products (ITEST, SLEM, BEACON, DMS), Web development / application business.
 
      The business has been valued at Rs.4.50 crores on the cost aggregation method based on the audited financials of March 31, 2009 to be suitably adjusted at the actual date of transfer. The business will be transferred as a going concern and by way of a slump sale.

      customers’ business to the critical components in a supply chain. It helps greatly in planning, logistics, inventory management, sharing crucial market information and speed up service.
 
      The business has been valued at Rs.6.52 crores on relief from royalty method based on the audited financials of March 31, 2009 to be suitably adjusted at the actual date of transfer. The business will be transferred as a going concern and by way of a slump sale.
 
  (iii)   Value of Human Resources assets:
 
      The HR assets have been valued based on cost to maturity method. Cost of development of the Human Capital to be transferred forms the basis and the value of the HR assets is Rs.384 lakhs.
The above non telecom businesses have been valued at Rs.45 crores (subject to adjustment in values arising out of the transactions between the Company and the Subsidiary between the Valuation Date and the actual date of Transfer), based on the valuation by M/s Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Pvt. Ltd., on the basis of the audited financials of March 31, 2009. The transfer will be effective October 1, 2009. The consideration will be paid by the Subsidiary either in the form of issue of fresh shares or debt or cash or any combination thereof.
The Board of Directors at its meeting held on August 31, 2009 recommended the sale and the transfer of the above businesses, which is subject to the approval of the shareholders.
Accordingly, the Company is proposing to transfer the above businesses along with all the employees, assets and liabilities including all the contracts, consents, goodwill, licences, permits, Intellectual Property Rights and approvals of the above businesses, as a “going concern” and by way of a slump sale to the above mentioned wholly owned Subsidiary Company through sale and transfer including but not limited to business transfer agreements and by executing incidental documents such as Memorandum, Deed of Assignment or through such other documents as may be determined by the Board of Directors.
Sify Networks Private Limited is in the process of converting its status into a public limited company and changing its name to “Sify Software Limited” in order to reflect the new activities proposed.
The above proposals are subject to the approval of the shareholders and other concerned authorities.
The proposed transfer of businesses into the wholly owned Subsidiary Company on a going concern basis requires the approval of the shareholders under Section 293(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 1956. Accordingly, the approval of members is being sought through the Ordinary Resolution set out in Item No.5 in the Notice of the meeting.
The Valuation Report of M/s Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Pvt. Ltd. is open for inspection by the Members at the Registered Office of the Company on all working days during office hours till the date of the meeting.
The Board of Directors and the Management are of the opinion that the above proposal is in the best interest of the Company by enabling the Company to concentrate on its telecom business, in addition the opportunities for the non-telecom businesses will be well served by transferring them to the Subsidiary Company, thus enhancing the overall value, which would benefit the shareholders and hence recommends the Resolutions for your approval.
