The Transferee Company is holding 100% equity stake in the Transferor Company 1 &2. In order to consolidate and effectively manage the Transferor Company 1 &2 and the Transferee Company in a single entity and to achieve, inter-alia, economies of scale and efficiency, the merger is being undertaken. The amalgamation of the Transferor Company 1&2 with the Transferee Company would inter alia have the following benefits:

  • (a) Amalgamation to be value accretive to the shareholders of the Transferee Company as the shareholders would have direct access to the core business of the Transferor Company 1&2;
  • (b) Greater integration and greater financial strength and flexibility for the amalgamated entity, which would result in maximising overall shareholder value;
  • (c) Greater efficiency in cash management of the Transferee Company and unfettered access to cash flow generated by the combined business which can be deployed more efficiently to fund organic and inorganic growth opportunities, to maximize shareholder value;
  • (d) Improved organizational capability and leadership, anstng from the pooling of human capital having diverse skills, talent and vast experience to compete successfully in an increasingly competitive industry;
  • (e) Cost savings are expected to flow from more focused operational efforts, rationalization, standardisation and simplification of business processes, and the elimination of duplication, and rationalization of administrative expenses;
  • (£) Reduction in the multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances required at present to be separately carried out by the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company;
  • (g) To optimally leverage the larger assets base and cash flow of the amalgamated entity; and
  • (h) Amalgamation will result in the Transferee Company directly controlling and managing the business of the Transferor Companies which would lead to simplification of the shareholding structure and reduction of shareholding tiers.

In view of the aforesaid, the Board of Directors of the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company have considered and proposed the amalgamation of the entire undertaking and business of the Transferor Companies \vith the Transferee Company in order to benefit the stakeholders of all the companies. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company have formulated this Scheme of Amalgamation for the transfer and vesting of the entire undertaking and business of the Transferor Companies with and into the Transferee Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 230 to Section 232 and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
