Based on this assessment, the consideration has been determined at ` 666.50 cr (Indian Rupees Six Hundred and Sixty Six Crores and Fifty Lakhs) as on March 31, 2025, subject to final adjustments as of the Appointed Date. The consideration for the proposed transaction shall be discharged primarily through the issuance of Optionally Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (“OCRPS”) by JBL, as outlined in the BTA. As part of the strategic utilization of the transaction proceeds, the enhanced stake in JBL will reinforce the Company’s investment in its subsidiary, facilitating the development of an integrated CRDMO platform. This consolidation is expected to unlock operational synergies, support future growth initiatives and contribute to long-term value creation for shareholders.
The key terms and conditions of OCRPS includes (a) tenure of 10 years; (b) may be converted or redeemed at any time at the discretion of the issuer; (c) shares will be issued at face value of `10 each, priced at fair value, to be determined by a Registered Valuer closer to the Appointed date and redeemable at the issue price; (d) conversion shall be effected at the Net Asset Value of JBL as determined under Rule 11UAE of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, as of the Appointed Date; and (e) 8% of dividend coupon payable only, if any dividend is paid to Shareholders.
The Proposed Transaction involving the transfer of the Undertaking to JBL, qualifies as a related party transaction under Section 188(1)(b) of the Act and Regulation 23 of the Listing Regulations. While such transactions require shareholder approval if they exceed the prescribed thresholds, however, the Act and Listing Regulations provide exemptions for transactions with wholly-owned subsidiaries, provided their financial statements are consolidated and presented to shareholders at the general meeting. Accordingly, the proposed transaction is exempt from the requirement of member approval under both Section 188(1) and Regulation 23(4).
The sale of the said Undertaking will not have any impact on the Company’s existing business or on the economic interest of the shareholders since the proposed transaction is with a wholly-owned subsidiary Company.
The proposed transaction is at arm’s length as there is no change in the economic interest of the shareholder of the Company.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 180 (1) (a) of the Companies Act, 2013, (‘Act’) a company shall not, except with the consent of the members by way of a special resolution, sell, lease, or otherwise dispose off the whole, or substantially the whole, of the undertaking of the Company in which the investment of the Company exceeds 20% of its net worth as per the audited balance sheet of the preceding financial year or an undertaking which generates 20% of the total income of the Company during the previous financial year. Since the proposed transaction involves transfer of the Undertaking, which generated more than 20% of the total income of the Company during the previous financial year, approval of the shareholders under Section 180 (1) (a) of the Act and all other applicable laws is being sought. Your Directors recommend the passing of the resolution as Special Resolution.
The copies of BTA and other related documents are available for inspection, in physical or electronic form, during the specified business hours at the registered office of the Company until the conclusion of the postal ballot.
None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel of the Company or their respective relatives are concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the above Special Resolution except to the extent of their shareholding interest, if any.
