3. RATIONALE AND BENEFITS OF THE SCHEME

The circumstances which justify and/or have necessitated the said Scheme and the benefits of the same are, inter alia, as follows:

i. The Transferor Company and the Transferee Company have similar businesses of cement and clinker and operating under their respective brand names in the State of Gujarat. Further, the Transferee Company has recently ventured into the paint business including cement paints which complements the existing business of the Transferee Company. As such the businesses of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company can be combined conveniently and carried on in conjunction more advantageously and no useful purpose is being served in continuing with two separate legal entities. Amalgamation of the two companies is proposed accordingly.
ii. In such circumstances, for the optimum running, cost optimising, growth and development of the restructured businesses and undertakings of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company with their combined resources and a larger capital and asset base, it is considered desirable and expedient to amalgamate the Transferor Company with the Transferee Company in the manner and the terms and conditions stated in the said Scheme of Amalgamation.
iii. The proposed amalgamation will help pooling of resources of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company, streamlining the corporate structure and consolidation of investments within the Transferee Company and act as a gateway for growth and expansion of business operations and presence in India and abroad.
iv. The infrastructure resources of the Companies complement each other and as such the proposed amalgamation will enable appropriate consolidation and integration of operations and activities of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company thereby ensuring better management and enable the merged entity to offer a comprehensive package of solutions from one entity as opposed to multiple entities.
v. The business of the amalgamated entity will be carried on more efficiently and economically as a result, inter alia, of pooling and usage of common resources in manufacturing, engineering, manpower and other infrastructure, thus leading to optimum utilisation and elimination of duplication of administrative expenses and responsibilities which will be facilitated by and follow the amalgamation.
vi. The proposed amalgamation will create better opportunities and improvement in competitive position of the Transferee Company as a combined entity and achieving economies of scale including enhanced access to marketing resources/networks/customers. The amalgamated Transferee Company will have increased capability for offering products and services by virtue of its enhanced resource base and deeper client relationship, resulting in better and greater realisation of the potential of the business and prospects of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company in the merged entity.
vii. The consolidation of business would lead to development of long term internal and core competencies, augment the manufacturing footprint and capabilities of the amalgamated entity by increasing the scale of manufacturing operations, thereby helping in rationalising the number of vendors, aggregating the purchases and managing the supply chain more effectively and efficiently.
viii. The proposed amalgamation will enable the merged entity to compete and bid for new projects more competitively and effectively with the combined credentials, experience and track record of both the Companies.
ix. As such the amalgamation of the Transferor Company with the Transferee Company will also enhance the financial profile with higher growth, margin expansion and increased cash flows which will provide further headroom for inorganic growth opportunities and result in the formation of a larger and more profitable and broad based company having greater capacity to raise and access funds for growth and expansion of its business.
x. Additionally, the amalgamated entity will provide greater impetus to the paint business which has been recently acquired by the Transferee Company and result in unlocking greater value to the shareholders of the Transferor Company with access to the paint business.
xi. The Scheme shall not in any manner be prejudicial to the interests of the concerned shareholders, creditors or general public at large.
xii. The Scheme is in the best interests of the shareholders, employees and the creditors of each of the Parties (as defined hereinafter).

All costs and expenses incurred in this respect shall be borne by Transferee Company.
o.

Any fractional entitlements from such net proceeds shall be rounded off to the next Indian Rupee. It is clarified that any such distribution shall take place only on the sale of all the fractional shares of the Transferee Company pertaining to the fractional entitlements.
p.

y. For the purpose of giving effect to the said Scheme or to any modification thereof, the Boards of the Parties may jointly but not individually, give and are jointly authorised to give such directions including directions for settling any question of doubt or difficulty that may arise under the said Scheme or implementation hereof or in any matter whatsoever connected therewith, or to review the position relating to satisfaction of various conditions to the said Scheme and if necessary, to waive any of those (to the extent permissible under law) and such determination or directions, as the case may be, shall be binding on Parties, in the same manner as if the same were specifically incorporated in the said Scheme.

The amalgamation shall be accounted for in the books of account of the Transferee Company pursuant to the pooling of interest method prescribed for business combinations of entities under common control in Appendix C of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 103 notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, to the extent applicable. Accordingly on and from the Appointed Date and subject to the provisions hereof and such other corrections and adjustments as may, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Transferee Company, be required and except to the extent required otherwise by law, all assets and liabilities of the Transferor Company transferred to the Transferee Company under the Scheme shall be recorded in the books of account of the Transferee Company at the book values as recorded in the Transferor Company's books of account. All reserves of the Transferor Company shall be incorporated in the books of account of the Transferee Company in the same form in which they appear in the books of the Transferor Company. To the extent there are inter-company loans, advances and any other balances whatsoever between the Transferor Company and Transferee Company, the same shall stand cancelled without any further act or deed, upon the Scheme becoming operative. The corresponding assets and liabilities in the books of account shall be reduced accordingly. The difference between the amount recorded as share capital issued by the Transferee Company

The Board of Directors may adopt any other accounting treatment for the Amalgamation which is in accordance with accounting standards notified under the 2013 Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. Since the Transferor company shall stand dissolved without being wound up upon the scheme becoming effective and all such assets and liabilities of the Transferor Company shall be transferred to the Transferee Company in terms of the Scheme, no accounting treatment is prescribed under the said Scheme with regard to the Transferor Company.

As part of an overall strategy for diversification, growth and development, the Transferee Company acquired "Snowcem" Paint business through slump sale with effect from 1 May 2021. The said acquisition marks the Transferee Company's foray into acquiring and investing in the paint industry. In view of the aforesaid, Snowcem which has been one of the pioneers to introduce "Cement Paints" used in exteriors is now part of the Paint Division of the Transferee Company. Under the aegis of the Snowcem brand, the Transferee Company is looking to offer attractive range of quality products for a wide

spectrum of consumers. The Transferee Company which currently has presence primarily in the State of Gujarat, will now have diversified businesses at the PAN India level. The equity shares of the Transferee Company are listed on BSE Limited.

(C) RATIONALE

i. The Transferor Company and the Transferee Company have similar businesses of cement and clinker and operating under their respective brand names in the State of Gujarat. Further, the Transferee Company has recently ventured into the paint business including cement paints which complements the existing business of the Transferee Company. As such the businesses of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company can be combined conveniently and carried on in conjunction more advantageously and no useful purpose is being served in continuing with two separate legal entities. Amalgamation of the two companies is proposed accordingly.
ii. In such circumstances, for the optimum running, cost optimising, growth and development of the restructured businesses and undertakings of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company with their combined resources and a larger capital and asset base, it is considered desirable and expedient to amalgamate the Transferor Company with the Transferee Company in the manner and the terms and conditions stated in this Scheme of Amalgamation.
iii. The proposed amalgamation will help pooling of resources of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company, streamlining the corporate structure and consolidation of investments within the Transferee Company and act as a gateway for growth and expansion of business operations and presence in India and abroad.
iv. The infrastructure resources of the Companies complement each other and as such the proposed amalgamation will enable appropriate consolidation and integration of operations and activities of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company thereby ensuring better management and enable the merged entity to offer a comprehensive package of solutions from one entity as opposed to multiple entities.
v. The business of the amalgamated entity will be carried on more efficiently and economically as a result, inter alia, of pooling and usage of common resources in manufacturing, engineering, manpower and other infrastructure, thus leading to optimum utilisation and elimination of duplication of administrative expenses and responsibilities which will be facilitated by and follow the amalgamation.
vi. The proposed amalgamation will create better opportunities and improvement in competitive position of the Transferee Company as a combined entity and achieving economies of scale including enhanced access to marketing resources/networks/ customers. The amalgamated Transferee Company will have increased capability for offering products and services by virtue of its enhanced resource base and deeper client relationship, resulting in better and greater realisation of the potential of the business and prospects of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company in the merged entity.
vii. The consolidation of business would lead to development of long term internal and core competencies, augment the manufacturing footprint and capabilities of the amalgamated entity by increasing the scale of manufacturing operations, thereby helping in rationalising the number of vendors, aggregating the purchases and managing the supply chain more effectively and efficiently.

viii. The proposed amalgamation will enable the merged entity to compete and bid for new projects more competitively and effectively with the combined credentials, experience and track record of both the Companies.
ix. As such the amalgamation of the Transferor Company with the Transferee Company will also enhance the financial profile with higher growth, margin expansion and increased cash flows which will provide further headroom for inorganic growth opportunities and result in the formation of a larger and more profitable and broad based company having greater capacity to raise and access funds for growth and expansion of its business.
x. Additionally, the amalgamated entity will provide greater impetus to the paint business which has been recently acquired by the Transferee Company and result in unlocking greater value to the shareholders of the Transferor Company with access to the paint business.
xi. The Scheme shall not in any manner be prejudicial to the interests of the concerned shareholders, creditors or general public at large.

The Scheme is in the best interests of the shareholders, employees and the creditors of each of the Parties (as defined hereinafter).

LIMITED REVIEW REPORT ON UNAUDITED STANDALONE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SAURASHTRA CEMENT LIMITED

We have reviewed the accompanying statement of Unaudited Standalone Financial Results $1.$ ("statement") of Saurashtra Cement Limited ("the Company") for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ('the Regulations').
1. The preparation of the statement in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34, (IND AS 34) "Interim Financial Reporting" prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, is the responsibility of Company's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express conclusion on statement based on our review.
We conducted our review of the statement in accordance with the Standard on Review $\overline{3}$ Engagements (SRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to 4. believe that the accompanying statement, prepared in accordance with applicable Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and other recognized accounting practices and policies have not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulation, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

LIMITED REVIEW REPORT ON UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SAURASHTRA CEMENT LIMITED

1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of Saurashtra Cement Limited ("the Parent") and its subsidiary (the Parent and its subsidiary together referred to as "the Group"), for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 ("the statement"), being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ('the Regulation').
1. This statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent's Management and approved by the Parent's Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the statement based on our review.
We conducted our review of the statement in accordance with the Standard on Review 3. Engagements (SRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of Parent's personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD 1/44/2019 dated March 29, 2019, issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.

The statement includes the results of Agrima Consultants International Limited (a wholly owned 4. subsidiary)
Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above, 5. nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

To the Board of Directors. Gujarat Sidhee Cement Limited

1.

$3.$ We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

APPROACH FOR RECOMMENDATION OF FAIR EQUITY SHARE EXCHANGE RATIO

The Proposed Merger contemplates the merger ofGSCL into SCL. Arriving at the fair equity share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger of GSCL into SCL would require determining the relative value per equity share of GSCL and SCL. These values are to be determined independently, but on a relative basis for the Valuation Subjects, without considering the effect of the Proposed Merger.

Our choice of methodology of valuation has been arrived at using usual and conventional methodologies adopted for mergers and our reasonable judgment, in an independent and bona fide manner.

The Valuation Approach adopted by SSPA and EY is given in Annexure lA and 1 B respectively (Annexure lA and 1B together referred to as "Annexures").

BASIS OF FAIR EQUITY SHARE EXCHANGE RATIO

The basis of the merger of GSCL into SCL would have to be determined after taking into consideration all the factors and methods mentioned hereinabove. Though different values have been arrived at under each of the approaches / methods as mentioned in the Annexures, for the purposes of recommending the fair equity share exchange ratio of equity shares it is necessary to arrive at a final value for each Valuation Subject. It is however important to note that in doing so, we are not attempting to arrive at the absolute equity values of the Valuation Subjects, but at their relative values to facilitate the determination of the fair equity share exchange ratio. For this purpose, it is necessary to give appropriate weights to the values arrived at under each approaches / methods.

The fair equity share exchange ratio has been arrived at on the basis of a relative equity valuation of Valuation Subjects based on the various approaches / methods explained in the Annexures and various qualitative factors relevant to each company and the business dynamics and growth potentials of the businesses of the Valuation Subjects, having regard to information base, key underlying assumptions and limitations.

While we have provided our recommendation of the Fair Equity Share Exchange Ratio based on the information available to us and within the scope and constraints of our engagement, others may have a different opinion as to the Fair Equity Share Exchange Ratio. The final responsibility for the determination of the exchange ratio at which the Proposed Merger shall take place will be with the Board of Directors of the respective Companies who should take into account other factors such as their own assessment of the Proposed Merger and input of other advisors.

We have independently applied approaches/ methods discussed in the Annexures, as considered appropriate, and arrived at the relative value per equity share of the Companies. To arrive at the consensus on the fair equity share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger, suitable minor adjustments / rounding off have been done.

SSPA&Co. Ernst & Young Merchant Banking Services LLP

Recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger of Gujarat Sidhee Cement Limited into Saurashtra Cement Limited

In light of the above, and on a consideration of all the relevant factors and circumstances as discussed and outlined hereinabove, we recommend the following fair equity share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger of GSCL into SCL:

62 (Sixty Two) equity shares of SCL of INR 10/- each fully paid up for every 100 (One Hundred) equity shares of GSCL of INR I 0/- each fully paid up.

It should be noted that we have not examined any other matter including economic rationale for the Proposed Merger per se or accounting, legal or tax matters involved in the Proposed Merger.

Annexure IA-Approach to Valuation-SSPA

1. VALUATION APPROACH AND METHODOLOGIES

1.1. For the purpose of valuation, generally following approaches can be considered, viz.
a. the 'Cost' approach;
b. the 'Market' approach; and
c. the ·Income' approach

Each of the aforesaid approaches proceeds on different fundamental assumptions which have greater or lesser relevance and at times even no relevance, to a given situation. Thus, the approach to be adopted for a particular valuation exercise must be judiciously chosen.

1.2. COST APPROACH

The Cost Approach reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset; often referred to as current replacement cost.

In the present case, the business of GSCL and of SCL are intended to be continued on a 'going concern basis' and there is no intention to dispose-off the assets, therefore the Cost Approach is not adopted for the present valuation exercise.

1.3. MARKET APPROACH

1.3.1. In the present case, as mentioned earlier, the equity shares of GSCL are listed on NSE and BSE and the equity shares of SCL are listed on BSE. The equity shares of both the Companies are frequently traded on the recognized stock exchanges. Therefore, we have thought fit to use Market Price ('MP') Method and Comparable Companies' Multiple ('CCM') Method for valuation of equity shares of GSCL and SCL under Market Approach.

1.3.2. MARKET PRICE METHOD

The market price of an equity share, as quoted on a stock exchange, is normally considered as the fair value of the equity shares of that company where such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in, subject to the element of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the value of the shares.

The value of equity shares of GSCL under this method is determined considering the share prices of GSCL on NSE and of SCL on BSE over an appropriate period.

1.3.3. COMPARABLE COMPANIES' MULTIPLE METHOD

Under CCM Method, the value of equity shares of GSCL and of SCL is determined by using multiples derived from valuations of listed comparable companies. This valuation is based on the

SSPA & Co. Ernst & Young Merchant Banking Services LLP

Recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger of Gujarat Sidhee Cement Limited into Saurashtra Cement Limited

principle that market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation. Relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for material differences, if any.

In the present case, E nterprise Value ('EV') to E arnings before Interest, Tax. Depreciation and Amortisation ('EBITDA') multiple of comparable listed companies are considered to arrive at EV of the Companies.

To the value so arrived, appropriate adjustments have been made (as may be applicable) for contingent liabilities, loan funds, value of investments, cash and cash equivalents, cash inflow on account of ESOPs, value of surplus assets, value of Paint Division of SCL, and capital work-inprogress to arrive at the equity value of the respective Companies.

The value as arrived above is divided by the diluted number of equity shares to arrive at the value per equity share of GSCL and of SCL.

1.4. INCOME APPROACH

Under Income Approach, equity shares ofGSCL and ofSCL are valued using Discounted Cash Flow ('DCF') Method.

1.4.1. Under DCF method, the projected free cash flows from business operations, after considering fund requirements for projected capital expenditure and incremental working capital, are discounted at the Weighted Average Cost of Capital ("W ACC'"). The sum of the discounted value of such free cash flows and discounted value of perpetuity is the value of the business.
1.4.2. The free cash flows represent the cash available for distribution to both the owners and the creditors of the business. The free cash flows are determined by adding back to earnings before interest and tax (i) depreciation and amortizations (non-cash charge), and (ii) any non-operating item. The cash flow is adjusted for outflows on account of (i) capital expenditure, (ii) incremental working capital requirements and (iii) tax.
1.4.3. WACC is considered as the most appropriate discount rate in the DCF Method, since it reflects both the business and the financial risk of the company. In other words, W ACC is the weighted average of cost of equity and cost of debt of the respective Companies.
1.4.4. To the value so arrived, appropriate adjustments have been made (as may be applicable) for contingent liabilities, loan funds, value of investments, cash and cash equivalents, cash inflow on account of ESOPs, value of surplus assets, value of Paint Division of SCL and capital work-inprogress to arrive at the equity value of the respective Companies.

1.4.5. The value as arrived above is divided by the diluted number of equity shares to arrive at the value per equity share ofGSCL and ofSCL.

2. FAIR EQUITY SHARE EXCHANGE RATIO

1. 1. Our recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger of GSCL into SCL is in accordance with ICAI VS 2018 issued by the ICAI.
2.2. The fair basis of Proposed Merger of GSCL into SCL would have to be determined after taking into consideration all the factors and methodologies mentioned hereinabove. Though different values have been arrived at under different approaches, for the purposes of recommending a ratio of exchange it is necessary to arrive at a single value for the equity shares of GSCL and of SCL. It is however important to note that in doing so, we are not attempting to arrive at the absolute values of the shares of each company. Our exercise is to work out relative value of equity shares of GSCL and of SCL to facilitate the determination of a ratio of exchange. For this purpose, it is necessary to give appropriate weightage to the values arrived at under each approach.
2.3. As mentioned above, we have considered a combination of Market Price Method, Comparable Companies' Multiple Method and Discounted Cash Flow Method for arriving at the relative value per equity share ofGSCL and ofSCL. We have arrived at the relative value of equity shares ofGSCL and SCL by applying equal weights to the value arrived at under Market Price Method, CCM Method, and DCF method.
2.4. The recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger ofGSCL into SCL by SSPA is tabulated below:

Annexure lB-Approach to Valuation- EY

There are primarily three approaches in valuation (viz., Asset Approach, Income Approach and Market Approach). For any valuation, all the approaches may not be relevant and therefore will not give a fair estimate of value. Hence, the approach most suitable for that specific business I company must be applied in the valuation exercise, based on the experience and common practices adopted by valuers.

According to IVS 104 ·'Fair Value is the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the Valuation Date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion''.

We have adapted internationally accepted valuation standards and approaches in delivering our valuation conclusion. There are several principal valuation approaches under International Valuation Standard of which we have considered only those approaches to the extent, it is applicable and relevant.

The various approaches generally adopted in valuation are as under:

1. Asset Approach: Net Asset Value Method
1. Income Approach: Discounted Cash Flow Method
1. Market Approach: Comparable Companies Market Multiple Method, Comparable Transactions Method and Market Price Method

We have used the Income Approach and Market Approach (i.e. Market Price Method, Comparable Companies' Market Multiples Method) for valuation of GSCL and SCL.

Asset Approach - Net Asset Value (NAV) method: Under this approach, the net asset value method is considered, which is based on the underlying net assets and liabilities. In the present valuation analysis, we have not considered NAY method as it does not capture the earning capacity of the business and hence NA V would not be representative of fair value.

Income Approach - Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method: Under the DCF method the projected free cash flows to the firm are discounted at the weighted average cost of capital. The sum of the discounted value of such free cash flows is the value of the finn. Such DCF analysis involves determining the following:

Estimatingfitture free cash flows:

Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company that are available to the providers of the company's capital - both debt and equity.

Appropriate discount rate to be applied to cash flows i.e. the cost of capital:

This discount rate, which is applied to the free cash flows, should reflect the opportunity cost to all the capital providers (namely shareholders and creditors), weighted by their relative contribution to the total capital of the company. The opportunity cost to the capital provider equals the rate ofreturn the capital provider expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

Sona anas Presi ent (CS, Legaf & Strategy)	Page 14 of 16

Recommendation of fair equity share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger of Gujarat Sidhee Cement Limited into Saurashtra Cement Limited

We have used Discounted Cash Flow method based on the business plan provided to us by the Management for the Valuation Subjects.

Market Approach - Market Price (MP) method: Under this method, the value of shares of a company is determined by taking the average of the market capitalization of the equity shares of such companies as quoted on a recognized stock exchange over reasonable periods of time where such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in an active market, subject to the element of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the market price.

The equity shares ofGSCL are listed on the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange ('BSE') and are frequently traded while the shares of SCL are only listed on BSE and are traded frequently. In these circumstances the share prices observed on NSE for GSCL and BSE for SCL over a reasonable period have been considered for arriving at the value per equity share of GSCL and SCL under the Market Price method.

Market Approach - Comparable Companies' Market Multiples (CCMM) method: Under this method, one attempts to measure the value of the shares / business of a company by applying the derived market multiple based on market quotations of comparable public/ listed companies, in an active market, possessing attributes similar to the business of such company - to the relevant financial parameter of the company / business. This valuation is based on the principle that such market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation. Relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the circumstances. In the present valuation analysis, we have considered CCMM method (using EV/EBITDA Multiple Multiple) for arriving the value per equity share of GSCL and SCL.

Market Approach - Comparable Transaction' Multiples (CTM) method: Under this method, one attempts to measure the value of the shares / business of a company by applying the derived transaction multiple based on comparable transactions, possessing attributes.similar to the business of such company to the relevant financial parameter of the company/ business. This valuation is based on the principle that such transaction valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation. Relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the circumstances. In the present valuation analysis, we have not considered CTM method as we are unable to find any comparable company transactions in the recent past for which adequate information is available in the public domain ..

Fair Valuation:

We have arrived at the relative value of equity shares of GSCL and SCL by applying equal weights to the value derived under Market Price Method, CCMM and DCF method.
