6. Rationale and Benefits of the Scheme of Arrangement
- (i) Rationale for Amalgamation of Transferor Companies with Transferee Company
All Transferor Companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Transferee Company. The amalgamation of Transferor Companies with Transferee Company would inter alia have the following benefits:
-
(a) Greater efficiency in overall combined business including economies of scale, efficiency of operations, efficient cash flow management eliminating inter-corporate dependencies.
-
(b) Optimum utilisation of resources by pooling in the managerial, technical and administrative resources and efforts.
-
(c) Reduction in legal and regulatory compliance enabling better compliance efficiency at the consolidated level.
-
(d) Certain pharmaceutical products manufactured by one of the transferor company i.e. Transferor Company No. 1 are sold in the regulated markets are exported through Transferee Company and this amalgamation would further help in consolidation of exports.
The amalgamation of the Transferor Companies with the Transferee Company will combine the business, activities and operations of the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company into a single company with effect from the Appointed Date (as defined hereinafter) and shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and rules framed thereunder including Section 2(1B) thereof or any amendments thereto.
Synergies of business of the entities involved in the Scheme
-
a) The consolidation of the activities by way of an amalgamation will provide seamless access to the assets (including intangible assets, licenses and intellectual properties) of the Transferor Companies, which will lead to synergies of operations, reduction in overheads including administrative, managerial and other expenditure, operational rationalization, organizational efficiency, competitive advantage and optimal utilization of resources.
-
b) Reorganising the legal entities in the group structure to ensure optimised corporate holding structure more aligned with the business requirements.
-
c) Significant reduction in the multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances required at present to be carried out by the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company.
-
(ii) Rationale for reclassification and transfer of the General Reserve of the Transferee Company to Retained Earnings
Over the years, the Transferee Company has built up significant reserves through transfer of profits to the general reserve in accordance with provisions of the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956 and erstwhile rules notified thereunder, namely, the Companies (Transfer of Profits to Reserves) Rules, 1975. While the excess reserves can be profitably utilized for the Company’s overall growth strategy, the Board of Directors of the Transferee Company is of the view that even after considering the foreseeable investments required for such opportunities over the next few years, the fund represented by the General Reserve are in excess of the Transferee Company’s current and anticipated operational needs.

2. RATIONALE FOR THE SCHEME
2.1 Rationale for Amalgamation of Transferor Companies with Transferee Company
All Transferor Companies ( as defined hereinabove ) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Transferee Company. The amalgamation of Transferor Companies with Transferee Company would inter alia have the following benefits:
-
(a) Greater efficiency in overall combined business including economies of scale, efficiency of operations, efficient cash flow management eliminating inter-corporate dependencies.
-
(b) Optimum utilisation of resources by pooling in the managerial, technical and administrative resources and efforts.
-
(c) Reduction in legal and regulatory compliance enabling better compliance efficiency at the consolidated level.
-
(d) Certain pharmaceutical products manufactured by one of the transferor company i.e. SPML are sold in the regulated markets are exported through Transferee Company and this amalgamation would further help in consolidation of exports.
The amalgamation of the Transferor Companies with the Transferee Company will combine the business, activities and operations of the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company into a single company with effect from the Appointed Date (as defined hereinafter) and shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and rules framed thereunder including Section 2(1B) thereof or any amendments thereto.
2.2 Rationale for reclassification and transfer of the General Reserve of the Transferee Company to Retained Earnings
Over the years, the Transferee Company has built up significant reserves through transfer of profits to the general reserve in accordance with provisions of the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956 and erstwhile rules notified thereunder, namely, the Companies (Transfer of Profits to Reserves) Rules, 1975.

37
the excess reserves can be profitably utilized for the Company’s overall growth strategy, the Board of Directors ( as defined hereinafter ) of the Transferee Company is of the view that even after considering the foreseeable investments required for such opportunities over the next few years, the fund represented by the General Reserve are in excess of the Transferee Company’s current and anticipated operational needs.

-
c) Valuation Report from an Independent Chartered Accountant is not required as no change in the shareholding pattern of the Company is envisaged pursuant to the Composite Scheme.
-
d) Appointed date for the Scheme is 1 April 2023.
-
e) With effect from the Appointed Date, whole of the undertaking of the Transferor Companies, as a going concern, including all its assets, all liabilities, employees, all statutory licences, permissions, approvals or consents to carry on the operations of the Transferor Companies shall stand vested in or transferred to the Transferee Company without any further act or deed and shall be appropriately mutated by the statutory
52
authorities concerned in favour of the Transferee Company upon the vesting and transfer of the undertaking of the Transferor Companies pursuant to this Scheme.
-
f) The benefit of all statutory and regulatory permissions, licenses, environmental approvals and consents or other licenses and consents shall vest in and become available to the Transferee Company pursuant to this Scheme.
-
g) Upon the Scheme becoming effective, the Transferor Companies shall be dissolved without winding up, and the Board of Directors and any committees thereof of the Transferor Companies shall without any further act, instrument or deed shall stand dissolved.
-

2. Need and Rationale for the Scheme
-
a) All Transferor Companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Transferee Company, and the amalgamation of Transferor Companies with Transferee Company would inter alia have the following benefits:

Greater efficiency in overall combined business including economies of scale, efficiency of operations, efficient cash flow management eliminating inter-corporate dependencies.
-
Optimum utilisation of resources by pooling in managerial, technical and administrative resources and efforts.
-
Reduction in legal and regulatory compliance enabling better compliance efficiency at the consolidated level.
-

-
b) Over the years, the Transferee Company has built up significant reserves through transfer of profits to the general reserve in accordance with provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and rules notified thereunder, namely, the Companies (Transfer of Profits to Reserves) Rules, 1975.
-
c) While the excess reserves can be profitably utilized for the Company’s overall growth strategy, the management is of the view that even after considering the foreseeable investments required for opportunities over the next few years, the fund represented by the General Reserve are in excess of the Transferee Company’s current and anticipated operational needs.
3. Impact of the Scheme on the Shareholders, KMPs, Promoters
-
a) The Transferor Companies are wholly owned subsidiary companies of the Transferee Company. The entire share capital of the Transferor Companies is held directly or indirectly by the Transferee Company.

As such, there is no impact on any of the stakeholders of the Company.
-
b) As far as the Equity Shareholders (Promoter Shareholders as well as Non- Promoter Shareholders) of the Transferee Company are concerned there will be no dilution in their shareholding in the Company as there will be no issuance of shares by the Company pursuant to the Scheme.
-
c) The Committee of Independent Directors and the Audit Committee have, in their reports, stated that the Scheme of Arrangement is not detrimental to the interest of the shareholders.
-
d) Further, there will be no change in the KMPs of the Transferee Company pursuant to Composite Scheme of Arrangement neither any KMPs has/have any material interest, concern or any other interest in the Scheme except to the extent of their shareholding in the Transferee Company, if any, or to the extent the KMPs is/are the partner(s), director(s), member(s) and/or beneficiary(ies) of the companies, firms, association of persons, bodies corporate and/or trust, as the case may be, that hold shares in the Transferee Company.
