None of the directors of the Transferor Company and their respective relatives (as defined under the Companies Act, 2013, and the rules framed thereunder) have any material interest in the Scheme, except to the extent that one of the directors, namely, Mr. Ajay Kapur, who is a common director in the Transferee Company and/ or to the extent that the said directors and their respective relatives may be holding shares in the Transferee Company and/or to the extent that the said directors and their respective relatives are the partners, directors, members of the companies, firms, bodies corporate, trustee and/ or beneficiaries of trust that hold shares in the Transferee Company, if any. None of the directors of the Transferor Company and/or their relatives are holding more than two per cent. of the paid-up equity share capital of the Transferee Company.

Further, as on date, the Transferee Company has no secured creditors and therefore, the question of any effect of the Scheme on any secured creditors does not arise.

7. VALUATION APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
7.1. Valuation Procedures
Arriving at the Share Exchange Ratio for the Proposed Transaction would require determining the fair value of equity shares of ACL and equity shares of Ambuja. These values are to be determined independently without considering the effect of the Proposed Transaction.
In connection with this exercise, we have adopted the following procedures to carry out the equity valuation of the Specified Companies:
7.1.1. Data Collection and Planning:
-
a) Collected financial data and key performance indicators for the historical period.
-
b) Held discussions with the Management pertaining to the business and the expected performance indicators during the projected period.
c) Any details needed for industry data, market share, surplus assets, assets and liabilities classified as held for sale, contingent liabilities and other data required based on further understanding.
7.1.2. Data Analysis and Management Discussions:
-
a) Sought discussions with the Management to understand the business and fundamental factors that affect the earning-generating capability including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunity and threats analysis and historical financial performance.
-
b) Where needed, analyzed publicly available information whether or not provided by Management.
7.1.3. Undertook Industry Analysis:
-
a) Research publicly available market data including economic factors and industry trends that may impact the valuation.
-
b) Analysis of the market to identify comparable companies and comparable transactions. c) Other publicly available information.
7.1.4. Performing Valuation Analysis:
-
a) Selected appropriate Internationally acceptable valuation methodologies to be used based on the information received, understanding gathered through interviews with the Management, publicly available information and prior experience.
-
b) Understood key drivers of valuation and supporting assumptions. c) Identified key assumptions and arrived at fair value of equity shares of the Specified Companies in order to determine the Share Exchange Ratio for the Proposed Transaction.
7.2. Valuation Parameters
-
7.2.1. Valuation Base: Valuation base means the indication of the type of value being used in an engagement. Different valuation bases may lead to different conclusions of value. The standard of value used in our analysis is “Fair Value” which is often understood as the price, that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the valuation date. Fair value is the price in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the valuation date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
-
7.2.2. Premise of Value: A premise of value or assumed use describes the conditions and circumstances of how an asset is deployed. We have considered the “going concern value” as Premise of Value.
-
7.2.3. Intended Users: This Report is intended for consumption of the Client, its advisors supporting the Proposed Transaction as well as relevant regulatory and statutory authorities.
-
7.2.4. Valuation Date: The Valuation Date considered for this engagement is 26 June 2024.

- 7.2.5. Valuation Standards: The report is being prepared in accordance with the relevant ICAI Valuation Standards, 2018 such as ICAI Valuation Standard 102 – Valuation Bases, ICAI Valuation Standard 103 – Valuation Approaches and Methods, ICAI Valuation Standard 301 – Business Valuation.
7.3. Valuation Approach & Methodology
-
7.3.1. Valuation of a business is not an exact science and ultimately depends upon what it is worth to a serious investor or buyer who may be prepared to pay a substantial goodwill. This exercise may be carried out using various methodologies, the relative emphasis of each often varying with:
-
a) Specific nature of the business
-
b) Whether the entity is listed on a stock exchange
-
c) Industry to which the company belongs.
-
d) Past track record of the business and the ease with which the growth rate in cash flows to perpetuity can be estimated.
-
e) Extent to which industry and comparable company information is available.
-
7.3.2. The results of this exercise could vary significantly depending upon the basis used, the specific circumstances and professional judgment of the valuer. Certain valuation techniques have evolved over time and are commonly in vogue.
-
7.3.3. It should be understood that the valuation of any business/ company or its assets/ equity shares is inherently subjective and is subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. Valuation results could fluctuate with lapse of time, changes in prevailing market conditions and prospects, industry performance and general business and economic conditions, financial and otherwise, and other factors which generally influence the valuation of companies.
-
7.3.4. The application of any method of valuation depends on the purpose for which the valuation is done. Although, different values may exist for different purposes, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that a valuer can only arrive at one value for one purpose. The choice of methodology of valuation has been arrived at using usual and conventional methodologies adopted for transactions of a similar nature, regulatory guidelines, and our reasonable judgement, in an independent and bona fide manner based on our previous experience of assignments of similar nature.
-
7.3.5. The Management is contemplating merger of ACL and Ambuja in accordance with the provisions of section 230 to 232 of the Companies Act 2013.
-
7.3.6. We have evaluated the following valuation methodologies as per any internationally accepted pricing methodology on arm’s length basis. The valuation techniques can be broadly categorized as follows:
-
a) Market Approach
-
i. Market Price Method
-
ii. Comparable Companies Multiple (“CCM”) Method
-
iii. Comparable Transaction Multiple (“CTM”) Method
-
-
b) Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Method
-
c) Asset / Cost Approach – Net Asset Value Method

7.4. Valuation Methods
7.4.1. Market Price Method
The market price of an equity shares as quoted on stock exchanges is normally considered as the value of the equity shares of that company where such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in, subject to the element of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the value of the shares.
The equity shares of Ambuja are listed on NSE and BSE and there are regular transactions in its equity shares with adequate volumes. Thus, the share prices observed on NSE over a reasonable period, considering the volume traded was higher on NSE than BSE, have been considered for arriving at the value per equity share of Ambuja under the Market Price method.
As mentioned above, since as part of the Proposed Transaction, shares of Ambuja, i.e., a listed company, will be made to the shareholders of ACL, i.e., an unlisted company, it is required to follow the pricing conditions that apply to preferential issue under ICDR regulations. Thus, the market price is arrived as per the pricing formula provided under regulation 164(1) under Chapter V – Preferential Issue of SEBI ICDR regulations.
As per the said regulation “If the equity shares of the issuer have been listed on a recognized stock exchange for a period of 90 trading days or more as on the relevant date, the price of the equity shares to be allotted pursuant to the preferential issue shall be not less than higher of the following:
-
a) the 90 trading days' volume weighted average price of the related equity shares quoted on the recognised stock exchange preceding the relevant date; or
-
b) the 10 trading days' volume weighted average prices of the related equity shares quoted on a recognised stock exchange preceding the relevant date. "
Therefore, we have considered the higher of 90 days or 10 days volume weighted average price as Market Price for computation.
Since the equity shares of ACL are not listed on any recognized stock exchanges, we have not considered the Market price method to estimate the fair value of equity shares of ACL.
7.4.2. CCM Method
Under this methodology, appropriate valuation multiples of comparable listed companies are computed and applied to the financials of the company being valued in order to arrive at a multiple based valuation. This is based on the premise that the market multiples of comparable listed companies are good benchmarks to derive valuation.
In the present valuation analysis, based on research from international databases and discussions with the Management, we were able to identify companies listed on recognized stock exchanges which can be considered as comparable to Ambuja. In identifying the comparable companies’ certain parameters like similarity in business activity, financial performance, size of operations etc. were considered. Based on this analysis, we have considered the Comparable Companies Multiple Method to estimate the fair value of equity shares of Ambuja.
While we have screened for publicly listed companies comparable to ACL, given the current status, size, scale of operations and the expected revenue growth rates and expected profitability of ACL, we did not find publicly listed companies comparable to ACL. We have therefore not considered this method to estimate the fair value of equity shares of ACL.
7.4.3. Comparable Transactions method
This method is similar to the above CCM method, with the exception that the companies used as guidelines are those that have been recently acquired. Under the CTM Method, acquisitions or divestitures involving similar companies are identified, and the multiples implied by their purchase prices are used to assess the subject company's value. There is no rule of thumb for the appropriate age of a reasonable transaction; however, it is important to be aware of the competitive market at the time of the transaction and factor any changes in the marketplace environment into the analysis. All other things being equal, the more recent the transaction, the more reliable the value arrived at using this technique.

We were unable to use this method for our valuation analysis of the Specified Companies due to lack of credible and sufficient information available in the public domain relating to comparable transactions of companies at similar stage, size and scale of operations in the recent past.
7.4.4. Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Method
Under the DCF method the projected free cash flows to the firm/ equity are discounted at the weighted average cost of capital/ cost of equity. In general, the DCF method is a strong and widely accepted valuation tool, as it concentrates on cash generation potential of a business. DCF analysis is based mainly on the following elements:
-
Projection of financial statements (key value driving factors),
-
The cost of capital to discount the projected cash flows.
Considering the above, we have used this method to estimate the fair value of equity shares of Ambuja, since it captures Ambuja’s growth and cash generating potential. Similarly, we have used this method to value some of the assets of ACL including investment in ACIL, the mining rights in Gujarat and the grinding unit being set up in Raigad.
We have used the free cash flows to firm (the “FCFF”) approach under the DCF method to estimate the value of equity shares of Ambuja and some of the assets of ACL as mentioned above, based on the financial projections provided to us by the Management.
Please note that we have relied on explanations, financial projections and information provided by the Management. Projections and assumptions for the projected period are only the best estimates of the Management for the Company’s growth and sustainability of profitability margins. Although, we have reviewed the data for consistency and reasonableness, we have not independently investigated or otherwise verified the data provided.
7.4.5. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) Method
The value arrived at under this approach is based on the latest available audited/ unaudited/ provisional financial statements of the business and may be defined as the Shareholder’s Funds or Net Asset Value of the company.
Under this method, the net assets as per the financial statements are adjusted for market value of surplus/ nonoperating assets, potential and contingent liabilities, if any. The NAV is generally used as the minimum break-up value for any business since this methodology ignores the future return the assets can produce and is calculated using historical accounting data that does not reflect how much the business is worth to someone who may buy or invest in the business as a going concern.
In the present case, we have considered Sum of the Parts (“SOTP”) approach under this method to value ACL as a whole since ACL is an investment holding company with investments in equity shares of ACIL, proposed grinding unit in Raigad, mining rights in Gujarat and investments in other projects.
Based on our discussions with the Management, and analysis of the historical and projected profit and loss statements of Ambuja, we understand that the current NAV only reflects the historical costs and accumulated profits of Ambuja which do not reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities as of the Valuation Date.
Since, the current NAV is not reflective of Ambuja’s future cash generation and performance, keeping in mind the context and purpose of the Report, we have not used this method to estimate the fair value of equity shares of Ambuja.

-
Comparable Transactions Method is not adopted due to lack of credible and sufficient information available in public domain relating to comparable transactions.
-
Comparable Companies Multiple Method is not adopted for ACL since there are no closely comparable listed companies.
-
Income approach is adopted as we have been provided with financial forecast for the business of the Specified Companies from the Management, and this methodology captures the future cash flows.
-
The Cost approach is not used for Ambuja as in the present case, it is a going concern and hence an actual realization of their operating assets is not contemplated.

-
The Scheme will enable the Ambuja to absorb the business of ACL and enhance its manufacturing capacity to carry out the manufacturing operation more effectively and seamlessly.

Summary of methods considered for arriving at the Share-Swap Ratio and the rational of using the methods :
Methods used by GT Valuation Advisors Private Limited (“GT”):
Ambuja Valuation:
Market Price Method, Comparable Companies Method and Discounted Cash Flow method was used to estimate the fair value of equity shares of Ambuja. Since shares of Ambuja, i.e., a listed company, will be made to the shareholders of ACL, i.e., an unlisted company, GT followed the pricing conditions that apply to preferential issue under SEBI ICDR. As per SEBI ICDR, the

Cement
==> picture [38 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
market price arrived as per the pricing formula provided under regulation 164(1), under Chapter V – Preferential Issue, of SEBI ICDR should be the floor price for the proposed transaction.
ACL Valuation:
GT used DCF method under the Income Approach to value some of the assets of ACL including equity investment in Adani Cement Industries Limited (ACIL), the mining rights in Gujarat and a grinding unit being set up in Raigad. Subsequently, GT considered Sum of the Parts (“SOTP”) approach under Net Asset Value method to value ACL, which includes the value of the assets derived through DCF method.
Comparable Companies Method and Comparable Transaction Multiple Method under the Market Approach were not considered for valuation of ACL in absence of exact comparable public listed companies and non-availability of comparable transactions of companies at similar stage, size and scale of operations.
Further, Market Price Method has not been considered for valuation of ACL as the shares are not listed on recognized stock exchange.

10. NSE: Clause i) x. / BSE: Clause h) x.
Particulars:
Details of potential benefits and risks associated with the merger, including integration challenges, market conditions and financial uncertainties.
Details:
The proposed scheme of amalgamation of ACL with Ambuja will enable Ambuja to absorb the business of ACL and enhance its manufacturing capacity to carry out the manufacturing operation more effectively and seamlessly. The business of ACL will be carried-on more efficiently and economically. Further, improved utilisation of the combined resources of both the aforesaid companies would result in reduction of overheads and elimination of duplication of work and reduction in compliance requirements. The amalgamation will help Ambuja to quickly start the construction activity at various sites of ACL and that of the wholly owned subsidiary of ACL, i.e., Adani Cement Industries Limited. The amalgamation would lead to enhanced value addition for both the aforesaid companies and consequently the value for shareholders will increase.
There are no major risks associated with the proposed merger as Ambuja is already in the cement business since long time. It has the expertise to conduct the business operations smoothly.
