EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
ANNEXURE TO NOTICE - EXPLANATORY STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
ITEM NO. 1:
The Company’s revenue has been stagnating in the last 3 years, inspite of good business potential in the EPC space due to constraints in the working capital, despite sizable executable orderbook, primarily non-fund based limits. The ability of the Company to perform well is scuttled by such constraints.
New business could not be undertaken due to non-fund based constraints. The infusion of funds by the present Promoters have gone more into servicing of debt obligations rather than being used for growth of the Company. The Company needs a strategic investor, who could infuse funds into the Company and simultaneously reduce the debt level and to sustain and grow.
Based on the foregoing, the Company held discussions with MARK AB CAPITAL INVESTMENT LLC (MARK AB ), with experience in EPC companies in Kuwait, UAE, and Russia among others.
In view of the foregoing, MARK AB has presented a Business Plan to the Company, which has been submitted as a Resolution Plan to the Punjab National Bank, the Lead Banker under RBI Circular dated June 07,2019.
The key highlights of the Resolution Plan submitted:
1. Equity Infusion by MARK AB – Minimum of Rs. 350 Crores Preferential Issue of Equity Shares subject to the pricing as per the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations 2015 to MARK AB for 26.4% stake in the Company.
2. Conversion of a part of the existing bank debts into Rs. 175 crores of Non Convertible Debentures (NCD) and Rs. 175 crores of Compulsory Convertible Debenture (CCD).
3. Certain other concessions in Repayment of term loans and interest on balance debt
4. Banks to allow utilization of vacancy in Non-Fund Based Facilities and Fund based limits already sanctioned and available to the Company, post implementation of the plan.
5. Change in Management control of the Company.
6. MARK AB to provide Corporate Guarantee to lenders for entire facilities.
Rationale for MARK AB to invest in the Company
MARK AB CAPITAL INVESTMENT LLC , (Mark AB) is an investment company holding an investment licence in Commercial Enterprises and Management operating out of Dubai. MARK AB manages USD 1.09 Billion Assets Under Management (AUM) and has experience in EPC companies in Kuwait, UAE, North Africa and Russia.
The transaction will enable MARK AB to get ready access/expertise to Indian EPC Market. MARK AB can leverage on established relationships the Company has with its marquee clients/reliable vendors and reputed technology providers.
MARK AB’s network in countries where it has investments can bring more business opportunities to the Company thereby cementing the relationships. SEPC’s footprint in the Sultanate of Oman in the Middle East and in Tanzania, Africa can be used for mutual benefits.
As a special dispensation for stressed listed companies, SEBI vide their circular dated June 22,2020 i.e. the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) (Second Amendment) Regulations,2020 provides for exemption from open offer for certain type of companies complying with certain conditions. The Company satisfies the above eligibility criteria to avail the exemption from open offer.
The Equity Shares that are to be issued to MARK AB under the Preferential Allotment shall be listed at the BSE and the NSE. The consent of the shareholders is also being sought pursuant to the provisions of Section 62, Section 42 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules thereunder and in terms of the applicable provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.
