Subject: Intimation pursuant to Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, in relation to the proposed acquisition of 46.67% shares of Outcry Media Solutions Private Limited by Rose Merc Limited
Dear Sir/Madam,
Reference is made to the intimations filed by Rose Merc Limited (“ Rose Merc ”) with the Stock Exchange on August 03, 2023, and September 04, 2023, in relation to, amongst others, the proposed acquisition by Rose Merc, of 46.67% shares of Outcry Media Solutions Private Limited (“ Outcry ”).
Reference is also made to the Share Purchase Agreement dated September 02, 2023 (" SPA "), executed by and between (i) Saurabh Chaudhary (“ Seller ”), (ii) Rose Merc ( as the Purchaser therein ), and (iii) Outcry to record the terms and conditions of the proposed acquisition of 46.47% shares of Outcry by Rose Merc.
In terms of the SPA, the Seller had agreed to sell 4,667 shares of Outcry, representing 46.67% of the then share capital of Outcry (“ Sale Shares ”) to Rose Merc for consideration other than cash, by way of a share swap transaction, against the issuance and allotment by Rose Merc to the Seller, of 7,00,000 equity shares of Rose Merc on preferential basis (“ Consideration Shares ”).
Pending the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent under the SPA, the Seller had, on September 02, 2023, transferred the Sale Shares to Rose Merc as contemplated under Clause 3.1.11 of the SPA.
Due to certain technical commercial difficulties, the parties to the SPA have not been able to fulfil certain conditions precedent under the SPA and achieve a closure of the transactions contemplated thereunder.
We wish to inform the Stock Exchange that in view of the aforesaid, Rose Merc, the Seller and Outcry have executed a termination letter dated February 05, 2024, to record the termination of the SPA. Consequently, the SPA stands terminated in its entirety and the transactions contemplated under the SPA are void-ab-initio. We have set out the requisite disclosures in Annexure A .
Further, considering that pending the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent under the SPA the Seller had transferred the Sale Shares to Rose Merc, Rose Merc has, as a consequence of termination of the SPA, retransferred the Sale Shares to the Seller (" Re-Transfer "). Subsequent to the Re-Transfer, the Seller continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of the relevant number of the Sale Shares.
We also wish to inform the Stock Exchange that Outcry and its promoters have approached Rose Merc to invest in Outcry. At the request of Outcry and its promoters, Rose Merc has agreed to invest Rs.7,00,16,000 towards
subscription to 8,752 equity shares of Outcry, representing 46.67% of the post issue share capital of Outcry on a fully diluted basis, on terms and conditions recorded in the Subscription Letter dated February 05, 2024, executed by and between Rose Merc, Outcry and its promoter. We have set out the requisite disclosures in Annexure B and Annexure C .
We request the Stock Exchange to take on record the aforesaid and acknowledge the receipt of the same.
Thanking You, Yours Faithfully
For Rose Merc Limited
