(f) Benefits and rationale of the Scheme as perceived by the Board of Directors
Rationale for Demerger of Demerged Undertaking from Demerged Company into Resulting Company
The demerger of the Demerged Undertaking of the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company is sought to be undertaken with the end and intent of realigning the business operations. Such demerger is in the interests of the shareholders, creditors and employees of each of the companies as it would result in consolidation of the business operations of the Demerged Company and the Resulting Company and savings in the operational costs to the group.
Rationale for Amalgamation of Transferor Company (post demerger of its Demerged Undertaking into Resulting Company) with the Applicant Company
The Applicant Company is actively considering opportunities to acquire Indian entities with a view to expand its business, operations and revenue. Currently, the Applicant Company is one layer of subsidiary of the Transferor Company. Any acquisition(s) by the Applicant Company involving more than one layer of Indian subsidiaries would be impermissible having regard to the provisions of Section 2(87) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Companies (Restriction on number of layers) Rules, 2017. That being so, the Applicant Company is prevented from acquiring an Indian subsidiary company which has its own Indian subsidiary, should such an opportunity arise. The absence of the proposed structure could result in loss of business opportunities available to the Applicant Company, its growth and future revenues. Flexibility to the Applicant Company in structuring its affairs is desirable to enable it to consider suitable opportunity (ies) for acquisition of an Indian entity which has an existing Indian subsidiary of its own and/ or for the Applicant Company to set up a step-down subsidiary (ies), should it so require. This would enable the Applicant Company to enhance its growth and revenues which would be clearly to the advantage of and in the interest of its shareholders. To this end, the current structure is proposed to be
24
rationalized by eliminating the existing one layer (i.e. Transferor Company).

CHAPTER 2 – SCHEME OF AMALGAMATION
22. BACKGROUND OF COMPANIES AND RATIONALE
-
a. ADI BPO Services Limited (“ Transferor Company ”, defined hereinafter) was incorporated on January 9, 2006 in the name of ADI Publishing Services Private Limited in Delhi by the Registrar of Companies, NCT of Delhi and Haryana. The name of the company was changed to ADI BPO Services Private Limited vide fresh certificate of incorporation dated November 8, 2007. Further, the company was converted from private limited to public limited, i.e. the current name, vide certificate dated May 8, 2012. The registered office of the company was shifted from Delhi to the state of Tamil Nadu vide the order of the Regional Director, Northern Region dated July 7, 2017 and fresh certificate of incorporation was issued by the Registrar of Companies, Chennai on August 9, 2017. The Transferor Company is the holding company of the Transferee Company.
-
b. MPS Limited (“ Transferee Company ”, defined hereinafter) was incorporated on January 19, 1970 in the name of The Macmillan Company of India Private Limited in Tamil Nadu by the Registrar of Companies, Tamil Nadu. The company was converted from private limited to public limited and the name of the Company was changed to The Macmillan Company of India Limited vide fresh certificate of incorporation dated September 14, 1971. The name of the Company was thereafter further changed to Macmillan India Limited vide fresh certificate of incorporation dated October 4, 1980. The name of the Company was further changed to its current name i.e. MPS Limited vide fresh certificate of incorporation dated June 25, 2009. The registered office of the company is situated in the state of Tamil Nadu. The Company is engaged in providing content creation, production, transformation and technology services to global academic, scientific and educational publishers. The equity shares of MPS are listed on BSE Limited [“BSE”] and National Stock Exchange of India Limited [“NSE”].
The Transferee Company is actively considering opportunities to acquire Indian entities with a view to expand its business, operations and revenue. Currently, Transferee Company is the one layer subsidiary of Transferor Company. Any acquisition(s) by Transferee Company involving more than one layer of Indian subsidiaries would be impermissible having regard to the provisions of Section 2(87) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Companies (Restriction on number of layers) Rules, 2017. That being so, the Transferee Company is prevented from acquiring an Indian subsidiary company which has its own Indian subsidiary, should such an opportunity arise. The absence of this proposed structure could result in loss of business opportunities available to the Transferee Company, its growth and future revenues. Flexibility to the Transferee Company in structuring its affairs is desirable to enable it to consider suitable opportunity (ies) for acquisition of an Indian entity which has an existing Indian subsidiary of its own and/ or for the Transferee Company to set up a stepdown subsidiary (ies), should it so require. This would enable the Transferee Company to enhance its growth and revenues which would be clearly to the advantage of and in the interest of all its shareholders. To this end, the current structure is proposed to be rationalized by eliminating the existing one layer (i.e. Transferor Company).
Hence, it is proposed to amalgamate the Transferor Company (post demerger of its Infrastructure Management Business Undertaking in terms of Scheme of Demerger contained in Chapter 1) with the Transferee Company.
Upon the amalgamation taking full effect in accordance with the terms of this Scheme, the Transferor Company will stand dissolved without winding up.
The proposed amalgamation would be to the advantage to the Transferee Company and hence be in the interest of its stakeholders including public shareholders. It would enhance the future growth of the Transferee Company‟s business operations and help grow its revenues

OBJECTS/RATIONALE OF THE SCHEME
Transferee Company is actively considering opportunities to acquire Indian entities with a view to expand its business, operations and revenue. Currently, Transferee Company is the one layer subsidiary of Transferor Company. Any acquisition(s) by Transferee Company involving more than one layer of Indian subsidiaries would be impermissible having regard to the provisions of Section 2(87) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Companies (Restriction on number of layers) Rules, 2017. That being so, the Transferee Company is prevented from acquiring an Indian subsidiary company which has its own Indian subsidiary, should such an opportunity arise. The absence of this proposed structure could result in loss of business opportunities available to the Transferee Company, its growth and future revenues. Flexibility to the Transferee Company in structuring its affairs is desirable to enable it to consider suitable opportunity (ies) for acquisition of an Indian entity which has an existing Indian subsidiary of its own and/ or for the Transferee Company to set up a step-down subsidiary (ies), should it so require. This would enable the Transferee Company to enhance its growth and revenues which would be clearly to the advantage of and in the interest of all its shareholders. To this end, the current structure is proposed to be rationalized by eliminating the existing one layer (i.e. Transferor Company).
Hence, it is proposed to amalgamate the Transferor Company (post demerger of its Infrastructure Management Business Undertaking into ADI Media Private Limited) with Transferee Company.
