  1. Learned Counsel for the Applicant Companies further submits that the First Applicant Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Second Applicant Company and the entire share capital of the First Applicant Company is owned and controlled by the Second Applicant Company and its nominees.

  2. Learned Counsel for the Applicant Companies further submits that the management of the Applicant Companies believe that amalgamation of the First Applicant Company with the Second Applicant Company would have, inter alia, the following benefits:

  3. a. Both the companies are under the same management. The Trans­ feror Company is wholly owned subsidiary of the Transferee Com­ pany. With a view to maintain a simple corporate structure and eliminate duplicate corporate procedures, it is desirable to merge and amalgamate all the undertakings of Ador Welding Academy Pri­ vate Limited into Ador Welding Limited. The amalgamation of all undertaking of Transferor Company into the Transferee Company shall facilitate consolidation of all the undertakings, in order to en­ able effective management and unified control of operations. Fur­ ther, the amalgamation would create economies in administrative and managerial costs by consolidating operations and would sub­ stantially reduce duplication of administrative responsibilities and multiplicity of records and. legal & regulatory compliances.

  4. The Merger is in the interest of the shareholders, creditors and all other stakeholders of the respective companies and is not prejudicial to the interests of the concerned shareholders, creditors or the public at large.

  5. The Petitioner Companies have approved the Scheme by passing Board Resolutions dated 28 th May, 2021 and have approached the Tribunal for sanction of the Scheme. The Appointed Date for the scheme is 1 st April 2021.
