2. Whether the transaction would fall within related party transactions? If yes, whether the same is done at “arms’ length”:

The Transferor Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Transferee Company. The proposed merger does not fall within the purview of related party transaction in lieu of general circular No. 30/2014 dated July 17, 2014 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and since the same is subject to the sanction of the National Company Law Tribunal.

4. Rationale for amalgamation/ merger:

The proposed scheme of merger and arrangement amongst the Transferor Company, the Transferee Company and their respective shareholders under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“Scheme”) provides for the merger of the Transferor Company with the Transferee Company.

The Scheme shall enable the Transferee Company to reap several benefits like cost effectiveness in operations, greater synergies, and optimisation of resources.

 

5. In case of cash consideration – amount or otherwise share exchange ratio:

As the Transferor Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Transferee Company, the entire share capital of the Transferor Company is held by the Transferee Company. Therefore, upon the Scheme becoming effective, all shares held by the Transferee Company in the share capital of the Transferor Company as on the effective date shall stand cancelled, without any further act or deed. Accordingly, in respect of the Scheme, other than extinguishment of the shares held by the Transferee Company in the Transferor Company no consideration whatsoever shall pass from the Transferee Company.

 

6. Brief details of change in shareholding pattern (if any) of listed entity:

There will be no change in shareholding pattern of the Transferee Company pursuant to the Scheme as no shares are being issued by the Transferee Company in connection with the Scheme. In fact, in terms of sub-paragraph (ii) of paragraph 4(d) of SEBI circular no. CFD/DIL3/CIR/2017/21 dated March 10, 2017, it is specifically recognised that a scheme of merger between a listed company and its wholly owned subsidiary, where the shareholding pattern of the listed company does not change, will be treated as ‘no change in shareholding pattern’.
