Explanatory Statement
Pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act 2013 read with rules made thereunder (‘the Act’) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (‘SEBI Listing Regulations’) and others, the following statement set out all material facts of the special business as mentioned under item no. 1 of the accompanying Notice of the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (‘Notice’):
Item no. 1
The Medical Devices Business has achieved a significant market share over time. To further enhance its growth trajectory, the company initiated in-house manufacturing of key products, which has driven cost reductions and accelerated growth.
To ensure a concentrated focus on the Medical Devices Business and provide operational independence, it has been decided to hive off this business into a subsidiary. This move will enable the formation of dedicated teams to manage the increasing scale of operations of this large and fast-growing business and will address the unique aspects of its operations. Given the ambitious growth plans for the Medical Devices Business, the company also intends to bring in fresh capital, necessitating the establishment of a separate subsidiary to manage this rapidly expanding segment effectively.
On January 8, 2025, the company incorporated a new subsidiary, Morepen Medtech Limited, to undertake the Medical Devices Business. This step aims to enhance capabilities, expand business operations, and ensure strategic alignment. The subsidiary will take over the Medical Devices Business and execute a Business Transfer Agreement (‘BTA’) and other related documents to complete the transaction.
Accordingly, at its meeting on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, the Board of Directors of the company approved the transfer of the Medical Devices Business as a going concern to the newly formed subsidiary by way of a 'Slump Sale,' as defined under Section 2(42C) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Under this arrangement, no individual values will be assigned to the assets and liabilities. Instead, all assets and liabilities related to the Medical Devices Business will be transferred to the subsidiary as part of the proposed transaction.
The slump sale will be executed at fair market value, derived by IBBI registered valuer, basis report of registered independent valuer for Building and Plant & Machinery and net current assets, other non-current assets and liabilities as per the Balance Sheet as on December 31, 2024 subject to determination of final consideration post adjustments up-to the effective date of transfer of Medical Devices Business and will not be less than value arrived at under Rule 11 UAE of Income Tax Rules 1962. The said slump sale of the Medical Devices Business is expected to be completed on or before September 30, 2025, subject to receipt of requisite regulatory and other approvals and fulfilment of customary conditions precedent and in accordance with the provisions of the BTA.
In light of this decision, resolution passed by the Board of Directors and members in their respective meetings held on September 1, 2021, and September 28, 2021, for transfer of Medical Devices Business to Morepen Devices Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary are not being proceeded with.
Object of and commercial rationale for Slump Sale
The company recognizes the immense potential of the Medical Devices Business to grow as a separate, independent entity. To unlock this potential, the management is considering hiving off or transferring the business into a newly incorporated subsidiary, Morepen Medtech Limited, through slump sale. This move aims to make the business operationally independent and position it to maximize its capabilities. The proposed segregation will provide clarity and focus for working teams, trade partners, customers, and other stakeholders, ensuring a streamlined approach to operations.
