d) Rationale for The Transferor Company is fully held by the Transferee Company / Demerged the Scheme Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. Further, the Resulting Company is the subsidiary of the Transferee Company / Demerged Company. The Scheme is designed to strategically reposition the Resulting Company as a diversified mobility solutions provider by rationalising the corporate structure and, in the process, enhance stakeholder value. The amalgamation of the Transferor Company with and into the Transferee Company and subsequent demerger of the Demerged Undertaking of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company is, inter-alia, expected to yield the following benefits:
-
Consolidate the business of the Demerged Undertaking of the Demerged Company in automotive components and products like drive train products including transmissions for EVs, Body in White and NVH Products and solutions, brass and steel synchroniser rings, aluminium forgings, brake fluids, radiator coolants and diesel exhaust fluids (DEF) / Ad-Blue for 2W, 3W and 4W vehicles and trucks and PU and PVC based adhesives in the Resulting Company, thereby transforming the Resulting Company from a mono-product suspension company into a diversified, technology-driven mobility solutions provider, and reducing the dependency on a single product line by expansion into new segments, geographies, the aftermarket product range and railways product range;
| • | Optimize the Resulting Company’s supply chain, enhance marketing |
|---|---|
| strategies and strengthen customer relationships, establishing a robust | |
| foundation for growth; | |
| • | Enables the Resulting Company to position as a preferred global OEM |
| partner, delivering platform flexibility and ensuring alignment with future | |
| industry needs; | |
| • | Enhancing the Resulting Company to project as a preferred partner for |
| future foreign collaborations in the automotive components space, and | |
| enhancing its presence in foreign markets, specifically the US and | |
| European market, ensuring its potential to attract capital for future | |
| growth and fostering the development of new technologies; | |
| • | Eliminate intra-group transactions and consequent cash flow blockages |
| which shall result in streamlined cash flow management and efficient | |
| utilization of capital; | |
| • | Assist in rationalizing the corporate structure and reduction of |
| shareholding tiers; | |
| • | Create substantial value for stakeholders through EPS accretion; and |

| • Achieve cost efficiencies through economies of scale and savings of administration and other costs associated with managing separate entities. Accordingly, the Management of respective companies, have formulated this Scheme pursuant to the provisions of Sections 230-232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (including any statutory modification or re-enactment or amendment thereof). The Demerged Company, being the holding company of the Resulting Company, shall indemnify the Resulting Company and keep the Resulting Company indemnified for any liability, claim and demand, if any, relating to any period prior to the Effective Date (as defined hereinafter) which may devolve on the Resulting Company on account of the Demerger as per Part D of the Scheme. There is no likelihood that the interests of any shareholder(s) or creditor(s) of the respective companies would be prejudiced as a result of the Scheme. The Scheme does not affect the rights of the creditors of the respective companies. There will not be any reduction in the amount payable to the creditors, nor shall there be any change in terms with creditors which is averse to their interests, pursuant to the sanctioning of this Scheme. Without prejudice to the above, the Scheme is an arrangement between the respective companies and their respective shareholders, as contemplated under Section 230(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 2013 and not a Scheme envisaged under Section 230(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013. |
