(i) Dabur is a market leader in the hair oil category while Sesa is a leading brand with strong recall and 3[rd] position in the ayurvedic hair oil category. The proposed amalgamation presents a strategic opportunity for Dabur to bring a premium brand with strong credentials around ayurveda to its product portfolio - a key whitespace in its current hair oil portfolio. This will strengthen Dabur's presence in the hair care category and present an opportunity to bring Sesa's range of ayurvedic hair care products to a wider consumer base, both domestically and internationally.
-
(ii) The amalgamation will enhance the growth potential of the combined entity in the hair oil segment which is expected to benefit from Dabur' s experience and expertise in advanced supply chain capabilities, extensive distribution network, deep category knowledge, market research abilities, technical engineering and access to key international markets. This strategic combination is expected to deliver long-term value to all stakeholders.
-
(iii) The amalgamation will result in synergies between their businesses including by pooling their financial, managerial, technical, distribution, marketing and other resources.
-
(iv) The amalgamation will result in greater efficiency with better control in cash and debt management of the combined entity and unfettered access to cash flow generated by the combined businesses which can be deployed more efficiently and therefore lead to a more efficient utilization of capital for enhanced development and growth of the consolidated business in one entity.
-
(v) The amalgamation is expected to result in optimisation of costs, coordination and streamlining of day-to-day operations of the business of the Transferor Company and Transferee Company.”

With regard to the shareholders (equity and preference) of the Transferor Company, the Applicants have prayed for dispensing with the requirement of convening a meeting of shareholders since 100% of the shareholders have provided their consent/no-objection to the proposed Scheme by way of affidavits. Since the Transferor Company has no secured creditors, the requirement to convene any meeting does not arise. With regards to unsecured creditors of the Transferor Company, it is noted that 98.94% in value have provided their consent to the proposed Scheme. Accordingly, in view of the threshold (90% in value) prescribed under sub-section (9) of Section 230 of the Companies Act, the requirement to convene meetings stands dispensed with for the Transferor Company.
-
With regard to the secured creditor and debenture holders of the Transferee Company, it is noted that 100% in value have provided their consent to the proposed Scheme; hence, the requirement to convene meetings of the secured creditor and debenture holders stands dispensed with.
