Dear Sir/Ma'am,
-
- Bata India Limited ("BIL") is a public company incorporated and existing under the laws of India, and having its registered office at 204, Rashbehari Avenue, Kolkata - 700029, India. The equity shares of BIL are listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
-
- The promoter of BIL is its immediate parent, Bata BN ("BBN"), a financial holding company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Netherlands, having its registered office at Europaplein 1, 5684 ZC, Best, the Netherlands. BBN holds 52.96% (fifty two point nine six percent) of the equity shares of BIL. The shareholding pattern of BIL as of November 1, 2019 is as under:
| Category of shareholder | Number of shares | Percentage of Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Promoter (BBN) | 68,065,514 | 52.96% |
| Public shareholders | 60,462,026 | 47.04% |
-
- At present, BBN is a wholly owned subsidiary of International Footwear Distributors S.à r.l. ("IFDS"), which is a private limited liability company organised and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 6 Rue Eugène Ruppert, 2453 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The entire share capital of IFDS is in turn held by Western Investment & Trading Company Limited ("Western"), a company organised and existing under the laws of Bermuda, having its registered office at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda.
-
- It has been proposed to undertake an internal reorganisation of the group companies which are under the ownership and control of Western, as part of which the entire share capital of IFDS held by Western (12500 ordinary shares representing 100% of the share capital of IFDS) would be transferred by Western to Global Footwear Services Private Limited ("GFSPL") a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of Singapore, having its registered office at 111 North bridge Road, #19-04 Peninsula Plaza, Singapore – 179098, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western (the "Proposed Transaction").
-
- IFDS and GFSPL are both wholly owned subsidiaries of, and controlled by Western.
-
- Upon the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, GFSPL will hold the entire share capital of IFDS, and therefore indirectly hold the entire share capital of BBN. GFSPL will therefore indirectly hold 52.96% (fifty two point nine six percent) of the equity shares of BIL. However, the Proposed Transaction would not result in any change in the shareholding in BIL. Please see enclosed a diagrammatic depiction of the direct and indirect ownership structure of BIL before and after the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, in Annexure I.
- We enclose herewith, the intimation in terms of Regulation 10(5) of the Takeover Regulations, in the format specified therein, in relation to the Proposed Transaction.
Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this letter.
