The Company in the ordinary course of business does transaction for purchase and sale of goods, receiving and rendering of services, receipt/ payment of lease rent and other transactions related to immovable properties, inter corporate deposit(s), reimbursements receivable/ payable and other transactions for business at arm’s length basis with Raymond Consumer Care Limited (‘RCCL’), Associate Company and a Related Party for which necessary omnibus approval was granted by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors of the Company at its Board meeting held on May 9, 2023 has approved to offer and issue Unsecured, Redeemable, Non-convertible Debentures (‘NCD’) up to Rs.2,200 Crores in two or more tranches, through private placement to RCCL based on the recommendation and approval of the Audit Committee.
The Management has provided the Audit Committee with the relevant details of various proposed Related Party Transactions (‘RPTs’) including rationale, material terms and basis of pricing. The Audit Committee, after discussion and deliberation has granted approval for entering into the RPTs with RCCL for an aggregate value of up to Rs.2,450 Crores (of which Rs.2,200 Crores to be received through NCD offer and approx. Rs.200 Crores interest payable thereon) to be entered during the FY2023-24. The Audit Committee has noted that the said transactions will be on an arms’ length basis and in the ordinary course of business.
As per Regulation 23 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (‘Listing Regulations’), prior approval of Members of the listed entity is required by way of an Ordinary Resolution for all Material RPTs, even if such transactions are in the ordinary course of business of the concerned Company and at an arm’s length basis. Effective from April 1, 2022, a transaction with a related party shall be considered as material if the transaction(s) to be entered into, either individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year, exceed(s) Rs.1,000 Crore or 10% of the annual consolidated turnover as per the last audited financial statements of the listed entity, whichever is lower.
Since the proposed transaction along with transactions already carried out during the current financial year with RCCL will exceed the thresholds as mentioned above during the financial year 2023-2024, the approval of the Members of the Company by way of Ordinary Resolution is being sought to approve the material related party transactions with RCCL as set out at item no.2 of this Notice.
The Information required under Regulation 23 of the Listing Regulations read with SEBI Circular dated November 22, 2021 is as under:
| Particulars | Information |
|---|---|
| Name of the Related Party and its relationshipwith the Company |
Name: Raymond Consumer Care Limited (‘RCCL’) Relationship: Associate Company |
| Type of transaction | Issue of Unsecured, Redeemable, NCDs through private placement, interest payable on such NCDs, purchase and sale of goods, receiving and rendering of services, receipt/payment of lease rent and other transactions related to immovable properties, inter corporate deposit(s), reimbursements receivable/payable, royalty and other transactions for business. |
| Material terms and particulars of the proposed Transaction |
Issue of NCDs – Interest Rate – 9% or such other rate as may be prevailing at the time of issue, tenure – Redeemable within a period of 2 years, interest payable annually. For other transactions, terms and conditions would be based on prevailing market price and commercial terms as on the date of enteringinto the transaction(s). |
| Tenure of the proposed transaction |
For NCDs and interest thereon – up to 2 Years For other transactions: Financial Year 2023-2024 or as mentioned in respective agreement(s) |
| Value of the proposed transaction | Aggregate amount not exceeding Rs.2,450 Crores (Rupees Two Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Crores). The proposed transactions are primarily related to the issue of NCDs up to Rs.2,200 Crore and interestpayable thereon of approx. Rs.200 Crore. |
| Percentage of the Company’s annual consolidated turnover for FY 2022-23 that is represented by the value of the proposed transaction |
Since the proposed transactions are primarily related to the issue of NCDs and interest payable thereon, said transactions will have no impact on the consolidated turnover of the Company. The income, if any, to be represented by the balance transactions compared to annual consolidated turnover of the Company for FY 2022-23 would be negligible (less than 1%). |
| If the transaction relates to any loans,inter–corporate deposits, |

| Justification as to why the RPTs are in the interest of the Company |
The issue proceeds of NCDs will be primarily used for repayment of external debt, working capital, general business purpose and as growth capital. Considering the future demerger plan as already announced, the Company would be able to achieve the zero net debt position with significant liquidity surplus available which will enable focused strategy and specialization for sustainable growth and profitability. Other RPTs are insignificant in the overall context however, the same are aimed at achieving synergies; reduce operational costs; ensure consistent supply of materials required by each of the entities and thereby mutually benefiting each of the entities. The transactions will be purely on day-to-day commercial business requirements at a prevailing market price. The Members may note that entering into RPTs is a common practice amongst Companies to optimize synergies. They allow sharing of resources including material, capacity, talent, knowledge etc. and serve the best interest of Members of such Companies, as long as the same are done on an arm’s length basis and in the ordinary course of business to enhance Shareholder value. The Company will benefit from such transactions with RCCL and hence, the Material RPTs are recommended for approval of the Members. |
