| 4 | Rationale for the amalgamation/ merger |
The Companies involved in the Scheme are intending to consolidate the sterile injectable contract development and manufacturing operations of Steriscience SG and the Carbapenem facility of BSL, under OneSource. Prior to such consolidation, the Board of Directors of the Companies intend to simplify the holding structure BSL to enable a smoother consolidation of the business/ entities from the perspective of OneSource. The proposed consolidation of Steriscience SG and BSL with OneSource would inter alia have the following benefits: 1. OneSource is currently engaged in contract development and manufacturing operations, and accordingly, the consolidation of BSL and Steriscience SG with OneSource, which are also engaged in a similar line of business, would complement the existing business of OneSource. 2. The consolidation will strengthen business capabilities and increase the ability to offer a broader product and service portfolio, leveraging a unified talent pool, access to established customer base with long term contracts, diversified technical expertise and higher scale of operations. 3. The consolidation will enable the management to implement cohesive and forward-looking business strategies for contract development and manufacturing operations, thereby unlocking wider avenues for brownfield expansion, partnerships, investments and global expansion. 4. The consolidation will result in integration synergies, improved supervision,coordination of business operations |
|
| and strengthen OneSource value proposition and create a multi-modality CDMO platform. 5. The consolidation will also bolster OneSource capabilities and capacities by adding a European Union site and a vertically integrated anti-infective site and diversifying OneSource's geographic footprint and catering to a key market. 6. The proposed consolidation will also lead to optimal utilization of infrastructure, enhanced productivity, and elimination of duplication across functions, ultimately driving operational efficiency and cost savings. 7. Further, the synergies arising out of the consolidation may lead to enhancement of net worth of the combined business and enhancement in earnings and cash flow would optimize the value of the OneSource and consequently enhance the shareholder’s value. Further, the amalgamation of SSPL with BSL would simplify the holding structure of BSL and reduction in shareholding tiers of the BSL and the amalgamation of SPSPL with the OneSource would rationalise the group structure by reducing the number of legal entities through which the business is carried out and would also result in reduction in regulatory and legal compliances and avoid multiple record keeping. Moreover, the Scheme is expected to increase the long-term value for the shareholders and other stakeholders of all the Companies. |
