| b) Whether the transaction would fall within related party transaction? Ifyes, |
The Transferor Companies are directly and indirectly wholly owned Subsidiaries of Transferee Company, which are related parties of the Company. According to the Ministryof Corporate Affairs' General Circular No. 30/2014 dated July17,2014, |
1
whether the same is done at “arm’s length”;
transactions resulting from compromises, arrangements, and amalgamations under the Companies Act, 2013, are exempt from Section 188 of the Act. Additionally, as per Regulation 23(5)(b) of the Listing Regulations, transactions between a holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiary (whose accounts are consolidated and presented to shareholders for approval) are exempt from certain provisions of Regulation 23, specifically sub-regulations (2), (3), and (4), which relate to approvals by the Audit Committee and shareholders.
Further, compliance with the SEBI Master Circular No. SEBIAIO/CFDPOD2m/CIR/2023/93 dated 20[th] June 2023 is not applicable for amalgamation of wholly owned subsidiaries with the parent company. Hence, no valuation report is required on such amalgamation since there is no change in shareholding and there is no requirement for issue of any additional shares. In view of the above, since the Transferor Companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, which are proposed to be amalgamated with the Transferee Company through a Scheme of Amalgamation, requirement of arm 's length criteria is not applicable.
- c) Area of business of the entity(ies);
The Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company are engaged in the same line of business namely Semiconductor & Embedded design services.
-
d) Rationale for Amalgamation; 1) The Transferor Company-1 is direct wholly owned subsidiary Company of the Transferee Company and engaged in the similar nature of business and the Transferor Company-2 is indirect wholly owned subsidiary Company of the Transferee Company. In order to consolidate the similar nature of business at one place and effectively manage the Transferor Companies and Transferee Company as a single entity, which will provide several benefits including streamlined group structure by reducing the number of legal entities, reducing the multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances, rationalizing costs, it is intended that the Transferor Companies be amalgamated with the Transferee Company.
-
2) The independent operations of the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company leads to incurrence of significant costs and the amalgamation would enable economies of scale by attaining critical mass and achieving cost saving. The amalgamation will thus eliminate a multi-layered structure and reduce managerial overlaps, which are necessarily involved in running multiple entities and also prevent cost duplication that can erode financial efficiencies of holding structure and the resultant operations would be substantially cost-efficient. This Scheme would result in simplified corporate structure of the Transferee Company and its businesses, there by leading to more efficient utilization of capital and creation of a consolidated base for the future growth of the Transferee Company.
-
3) The amalgamation will contribute in furthering and fulfilling the objectives and business strategies of all the companies thereby accelerating growth, expansion and development of the respective businesses through the Transferee Company. The amalgamation will thus enable further expansion of the Transferee Company and provide a strong and focused base to undertake the business more advantageously. Further, this arrangement would bring concentrated management focus, integration, streamlining of the management structure, seamless implementation of policy changes and shall also help enhance the efficiency and control of the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company.
-
4) The synergies created by the Scheme would increase operational efficiency and integrate business functions.
-
5) This Scheme provides for the amalgamation of the Transferor Companies with the Transferee Company and the consequent treatment of assets and liabilities of respective Companies in the manner provided for in the Scheme.

| 6) The proposed amalgamation will strengthen the ‘MosChip’ brand leading to a stronger market presence providing customers with a seamless experience, and removing any other brand perception / distinction in the customers mind, and provide greater integration and flexibility to the Transferee Company and strengthen its position in the industry, in terms of the asset base, revenues, product and service range. 7) The other benefits of the proposed amalgamation include: (a) Optimum and efficient utilization and rationalization of capital, resources, assets and facilities; (b) Enhancement of competitive strengths including financial resources; (c) Obtaining synergy benefits; (d) Better management and focus on growing the businesses. 8) In view of the above, it is considered desirable and expedient to amalgamate the Transferor Companies with the Transferee Company in accordance with this Scheme, pursuant to Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with applicable Rules. |
|
|---|---|
| e) In case of cash consideration – amount or otherwise Share Exchange ratio; |
Since the Transferor Companies are directly and indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of the Transferee Company, no cash consideration is involved. Pursuant to this Scheme, no shares of the Transferee Company shall be allotted in respect of its holding in the Transferor Companies. Upon the Scheme becoming effective, the entire share capital of the Transferor Companies shall be cancelled and extinguished. |
| f) Brief details of change in shareholding pattern (if any) of listed entity: |
Since the Transferor Companies are directly and indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of the Transferee Company, no shares of the Transferee Company shall be allotted in respect of its holding in the Transferor Companies. There shall be no change in the shareholding pattern of the Transferee Company. |
