RISK FACTORS:

Given below are the risks related to the proposed Offer and those associated with the Acquirer:

Risks Relating to the Underlying Transaction and the Proposed Open Offer:

  • 1) This Offer is a mandatory offer in terms of Regulation 3(1) and Regulation 4 of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011.
  • 2) The consummation of the Underlying Transaction is subject to various conditions as specified under the Share Purchase Agreement, requisite approvals from the public shareholders' and BSE.
  • 3) There are no other statutory approvals required by the Acquirer to complete this Offer. However, in case of any statutory approvals are required by the Acquirer at a later date before the expiry of the tendering period, this Offer shall be subject to such approvals, and the Acquirer shall make the necessary applications for such statutory approvals. In case of delay in receipt of any such statutory or regulatory approvals, as per Regulation 18(11) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011, SEBI may, if satisfied, that non-receipt of such approvals was not attributable to any wilful default, failure or neglect on the part of the Acquirer to diligently pursue such approvals, grant an extension of time for the purpose of completion of this Open Offer, subject to the Acquirer agreeing to pay interest to the Public Shareholders for delay beyond 10th Working Day from the date of Closure of Tendering Period, at such rate as may be specified by SEBI. Further, if delay occurs on account of wilful default by the Acquirer in obtaining the requisite approvals, Regulation 17(9) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011 will also become applicable and the amount lying in the Escrow Account shall become liable for forfeiture. Where the statutory or regulatory approvals extend to some but not all the Public Shareholders, the Acquirer shall have the option to make payment of the consideration to such Public Shareholders in respect of whom no statutory or regulatory approvals are required in order to complete this Offer in respect of such Public Shareholders.
  • 4) In case of over-subscription in the Offer, as per the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011, acceptance would be determined on a proportionate basis and hence there is no certainty that all the Equity Shares tendered by the shareholders in the Offer will be accepted.
  • 5) Shareholders who tender the Equity Shares in acceptance of the Offer shall not be entitled to withdraw their shares, even if the acceptance of equity shares under this Offer and dispatch of consideration are delayed.

Relating to the Acquirer:

  • 1) The Acquirer cannot provide any assurance with respect to the market price of the Equity Shares of the Target Company before, during or after the Offer and expressly disclaims any responsibility or obligation of any kind (except as required by applicable law) with respect to any decision by any Shareholder on whether to participate or not to participate in the Offer.
  • 2) The Acquirer and the Manager to the Offer accepts no responsibility for the statements made otherwise than in the Public Announcement ("PA")/Detailed Public Statement ("DPS")/Draft Letter of Offer ("DLoF")/Letter of Offer ("LoF") and anyone placing reliance on any other sources of information, not released by the Acquirer, would be doing so at his/her/its own risk.

The Risk Factors set forth above pertain to the Offer and do not relate to the present or future business or operations of the Target Company or any other matters and are neither exhaustive nor intended to constitute a complete or comprehensive analysis of the risks involved in or associated with the participation by any Shareholder in the Offer. Each Shareholder of the Target Company is hereby advised to consult with legal, financial, tax, investment or other advisors and consultants of their choice, if any, for further risks with respect to each such Shareholder's participation in the Offer.

THE ACQUIRER AND PAC DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR OTHERWISE OF SUCH SUMMARY OF INCOME TAX IMPLICATIONS.

THE SUMMARY ON TAX CONSIDERATIONS IN THIS SECTION SETS OUT THE PROVISIONS OF LAW IN A SUMMARY MANNER ONLY AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR LISTING OF ALL POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DISPOSAL OF EQUITY SHARES. THIS NOTE IS NEITHER BINDING ON ANY REGULATORS NOR CAN THERE BE ANY ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE A POSITION CONTRARY TO THE COMMENTS MENTIONED HEREIN. HENCE, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS FOR THE TAX PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE LAW STATED BELOW IS AS PER THE INCOME-TAX ACT, 1961.

(1) General:

  • (a) Securities transaction tax ("STT") will not be applicable to the Equity Shares accepted in this Offer.
  • (b) In case of delay in receipt of any statutory approvals as may be required as per Regulation 18(11) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, SEBI may, if satisfied, that non-receipt of such approvals was not attributable to any wilful default, failure or neglect on the part of the Acquirer to diligently pursue such approvals, grant an extension of time for the purpose of completion of this Open Offer, subject to the Acquirer agreeing to pay interest to the Public Shareholders for delay beyond 10 (Ten) Working Days at such rate, as may be specified by SEBI from time to time.
  • (c) In accordance with Regulation 18 (11A) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, if any waiver is not granted by SEBI, then the Acquirer shall pay interest to all such Public Shareholders whose Equity Shares have been accepted in the Open Offer, at the rate of 10% (Ten Percent) per annum, in the event the Acquirer is unable to make payment to the Public Shareholders who have accepted Equity Shares in the Open Offer within the statutory period as prescribed.
  • (d) The basis of charge of Indian income tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961 ("IT Act") depends upon the residential status of the taxpayer during a tax year. The Indian tax year runs from April 1 until March 31. A person who is an Indian tax resident is typically liable to income tax in India on his/her worldwide income, subject to certain tax exemptions, which are provided under the IT Act as amended from time to time.
  • (e) A person who is treated as a non-resident for Indian income-tax purposes is generally subject to tax in India only on such person's India-sourced income (i.e., income which is received or deemed to be received or accrues or arises or deemed to accrue or arise in India). In case of shares of a company, the source of income from shares would depend on the "situs" of such shares. As per judicial precedents, generally the "situs" of the shares is where a company is "incorporated" and where its shares can be transferred.
  • (f) Accordingly, since the Target Company is incorporated in India, the Target Company's shares should be deemed to be "situated" in India and any gains arising to a non-resident on transfer of such shares should be taxable in India under the IT Act.
  • (g) Non-resident Public Shareholder can avail benefits of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement ("DTAA") between India and the respective country of which the said non-resident Public Shareholder is tax resident subject to fulfilling of the relevant conditions including, but not limited to, those set out under limitation of benefits provisions present in the said DTAA, if any, non-applicability of General Anti-Avoidance Rule ("GAAR"), conditions under Multilateral Instruments ("MLI") as ratified by India with the respective country of which the said non-resident shareholder is tax resident; and providing and maintaining necessary information and documents as prescribed under the IT Act and DTAA.
  • (h) The IT Act also provides for different income-tax regimes/rates applicable to the gains arising from the tendering of shares under the Offer, based on the period of holding, residential status, classification of the Public Shareholder, nature of the income earned, date of acquisition and mode of acquisition etc.
  • (i) The Public Shareholders may be required to undertake compliances such as filing an annual income tax return, as may be applicable to different categories of persons, with the income tax authorities, reporting their income for the relevant year.
  • (j) The summary of income tax implications on tendering of listed equity shares through off market transaction is set out below. All references to Equity Shares herein refer to listed Equity Shares unless stated otherwise.
  • (2) Classification of Shareholders: Public Shareholders can be classified under the following categories:
  • (a) Resident Public Shareholders being:
  • (i) Individuals, Hindu Undivided Family ("HUF"), Association of Persons ("AOP") and Body of Individuals ("BOI")
  • (ii) Others
    • a. Company
    • b. Other Than Company
  • (b) Non-Resident Public Shareholders being:
  • (i) Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)
  • (ii) Foreign Institution Investors (FIIs) /Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs)
  • (iii) Others:

    • a. Company
    • b. Other Than Company
  • (3) Classification of Income: Shares can be classified under the following two categories:

  • (a) Shares held as investment (Income from transfer of such shares taxable under the head "Capital Gains").
  • (b) Shares held as stock-in-trade (Income from transfer of such shares taxable under the head "Profits and Gains from Business or Profession").

As per the current provisions of the IT Act, unless specifically exempted, gains arising from the transfer of shares may be treated either as "Capital Gains" or as "Business Income" for income-tax purposes, depending upon whether such shares were held as a capital asset or trading asset (i.e. stock-in-trade). Shareholders may also refer to Circular No.6/2016 dated February 29, 2016 issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) in this regard.

(4) Income from sale of shares classified as Investment:

(a) As per the provisions of the IT Act, where the shares are held as investments (i.e., capital asset), income arising from the transfer of such shares is taxable under the head "Capital Gains". Additionally, securities held by FIIs/ FPIs are treated as capital assets under Section 2(14) of the IT Act (whether or not such asset is being held as a capital asset). Therefore, gains arising out of securities held by FIIs/FPIs will be taxable in India as capital gains.

Capital gains in the hands of shareholders would be computed as per provisions of Section 48 of the IT Act and the rate of income-tax would depend on the period of holding and status of Public Shareholder.

(b) Period of holding:

Depending on the period for which the shares are held, the gains would be taxable as "short-term capital gain" or "long-term capital gain":

  • (i) In respect of Equity Shares held for a period less than or equal to 12 months prior to the date of transfer, the same should be treated as a "short-term capital asset", and accordingly the gains arising therefrom should be taxable as "short term capital gains" ("STCG").
  • (ii) Similarly, where Equity Shares are held for a period more than 12 months prior to the date of transfer, the same should be treated as a "long-term capital asset", and accordingly the gains arising therefrom should be taxable as "long-term capital gains" ("LTCG").
  • (c) Tendering of Equity Shares in the Offer through a recognized Stock Exchange in India

Where a transaction for transfer of such equity shares (i.e., acceptance under an open offer) is transacted through off-market mechanism and is not chargeable to STT, then the tax will be as under (for all categories of Public Shareholders):

(i) Section 112A of the IT Act levies a tax on LTCG exceeding INR 1,25,000 (Rupees One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand only) at the rate of 12.5% (Twelve Point Five Percent) on transfer of equity shares that are listed on a recognized stock exchange, which have been held for more than 12 (twelve) months and have been subject to STT upon both acquisition and sale.

I. In the case of resident Public Shareholders and non-resident Public Shareholders (other than a FIIs/FPIs, or an NRI who is governed by the provisions of Chapter XII-A of the IT Act) LTCG would be chargeable to tax at the rate of 12.5% (Twelve Point Five Percent) in accordance with provisions of Section 112 of the IT Act. While computing the LTCG, the benefits of foreign exchange fluctuation in accordance with first proviso to Section 48 of the IT Act will not be available.

  • II. In the case of FIIs/FPIs, LTCG would be chargeable to tax at the rate of 12.5% (Twelve Point Five Percent) in accordance with provisions of Section 115AD of the IT Act (without benefit of foreign exchange fluctuation under first proviso to Section 48 of the IT Act).
  • III. In the case of NRI who is governed by the provisions of Chapter XII-A of the IT Act, LTCG would be chargeable to tax at the rate of 12.5% (Twelve Point Five Percent) under Section 115E of the IT Act on meeting certain conditions. While computing the LTCG, the benefit of foreign exchange fluctuation in accordance with first proviso to Section 48 of the IT Act is available subject to meeting certain conditions.
  • IV. Long term capital loss computed for a given year is allowed to be set-off only against LTCG computed for the said year, in terms of Section 70 of the IT Act. The balance loss, which is not set off, is allowed to be carried forward for subsequent eight assessment years, for being set off only against subsequent years' LTCG, in terms of Section 74 of the IT Act.

No deduction under Chapter VI-A would be allowed in computing LTCG subject to tax under Section 112 and Section 115AD of the IT Act. Further, in case of resident Individual or HUF, the benefit of maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax is to be considered while computing the income-tax on such LTCG taxable under Section 112 of the IT Act.

In accordance with Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024, the benefit of indexation under second proviso to Section 48 of the IT Act shall not be available on any long-term capital gain arising to Public Shareholder from transfer of Equity Shares under this Offer.

(ii) Section 111A of the IT Act provides for taxation of STCG at the rate of 20% (Twenty Percent) on transfer of equity shares that are listed on a recognized stock exchange, which have been held for 12 (twelve) months or less and have been subject to STT on the transaction.

However, since STT will not be applicable to the Equity Shares transferred in this Offer, the provisions of Section 111A of the IT Act shall not be applicable and such STCG will be chargeable to tax as follows:

  • a. STCG would be leviable to tax at the rates prescribed in First Schedule to the Finance Act, 2025 (i.e., tax rates applicable to different categories of persons).
  • b. In the case of FIIs/FPIs, STCG would be taxable at the rate of 30% (Thirty Percent) in accordance with provisions of Section 115AD of the IT Act.
  • c. As per Section 70 of the IT Act, short term capital loss computed for a given year is allowed to be set off against STCG as well as LTCG computed for the said year. The balance loss, which is not set off, is allowed to be carried forward for subsequent eight assessment years, for being set-off against subsequent years' STCG as well as LTCG, in terms of Section 74 of the IT Act.
  • (iii) Non-resident Public Shareholders can avail benefits of the DTAA between India and the respective country of which the said non-resident shareholder is tax resident subject to fulfilling of the relevant conditions including, but not limited to, those set out in limitation of benefits provisions present in the said DTAA, if any, non-applicability of GAAR, conditions under MLI as ratified by India with the respective country of which the said non-resident Public Shareholders is tax resident and providing and maintaining necessary information and documents as prescribed under the IT Act.

(8) Taxability of business income in hands of shareholders (Shares held as stock-in-trade):

Income from sale of shares may also be classified as Income from "Profits and Gains from Business and Profession" (i.e. Business Income). Such characterization of Income from sale of shares is dependent on the facts of each case.

(a) Profits of resident Public Shareholders

(9) Other matters

The provisions of Minimum Alternate Tax on the book profits as contained in Section 115JB of the IT Act or Alternate Minimum Tax contained in Section 115JC of the IT Act, as the case may be, also need to be considered by the shareholders (other than resident company which has opted for concessional tax regime under Section 115BAA or Section 115BAB of the IT Act). Foreign companies will not be subject to MAT if the country of residence of such of the foreign country has entered into a DTAA with India under Sections 90/90A of the IT Act and such foreign company does not have a permanent establishment in India in terms of the DTAA.
