C.O. No. 4862 of 2026

In the matter of:

Systems Limited and Confiz Limited

Sr. No. of Order/Proceeding Date of order/Proceeding Order with signature of Judge, and that of parties or counsel, where necessary
06.05.2026. M/s. Mikael Azmat Rahim, Uzair Shafique & Arshad Nazir Mirza, Advocates for the petitioners Hafiz Tallaha, Advocate for the respondent/SECP

Through this petition, the petitioners are seeking sanction of this Court to the Scheme of Arrangement (hereinafter referred to as the “Scheme”) to merge the Petitioner No. 2 / Confiz Limited (“Confiz”), including its entire undertakings, business, assets, liabilities, obligations etc., with and into the Petitioner No. 1 / Systems Limited (“Systems”).

  1. Vide Order dated 26.01.2026, M/s. Jahanzeb Inam and Aamir Sana, Advocates were appointed as Joint Chairpersons for the Extraordinary General Meetings of the petitioner companies under Section 279(1) of the Act, read with Rule 55 & Rule 61 of the Companies (Court) Rules, 1997 (“Rules”). Notices were issued to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (“SECP”) as well as the secured creditors of the Petitioner No. 1 (noting that the Petitioner No.2 did not have any secured creditors).

  2. The Learned Chairpersons submitted their reports on 30.03.2026, according to which separate Extraordinary General Meetings of the respective

Petitioner Companies were held on 27.02.2026 and 11.03.2026 respectively, wherein shareholders of the petitioner companies approved the Scheme. It was highlighted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner No.1 that 99% of the members of the Petitioner No. 1, present and voted at the meeting, approved the Scheme, and 99.5% of the members of the Petitioner No. 2, present and voted at the meeting, approved the Scheme, thus significantly exceeding the statutory requirement under Section 279 of the Act.

  1. The Petitioner No. 1 has also submitted / brought on record the No Objection Certificates (with respect to the Scheme) which have been issued by all its secured creditors.

  2. In furtherance of the report filed by the Joint chairpersons appointed by this Court, the respondent/SECP has raised various observations in the nature of objections against the Scheme of Arrangement sought to be approved through the process of this Court. The main thrust of the objections is rooted in SECP’s observation qua Article 9.9 of the Scheme, which deals with the swap ratio. It is contended by learned counsel for SECP that the final swap ratio of 0.9975 falls outside the independent Valuers range of 1.00 to 1.08; further contends that while responding to the observations raised by SECP, the petitioners have only relied upon the notion of commercial discretion and shareholder’s approval, however, per learned counsel for SECP, neither the commercial discretion nor the shareholder’s approval absolve the petitioners from

demonstrating that the swap ratio is fair and reasonable in terms of Section 282(6) of the Companies Act, 2017. It is next contended by the learned counsel for SECP that as per Article 9.9 of the Scheme, the cash dividend on consideration has not lawfully been explained by the petitioners. Lastly contends that the petitioners have failed to substantiate their position on the basis of any numerical analysis to reflect as to how the cash dividend, if any, would compensate Confiz Limited's shareholders since the swap ratio is below the independent Valuers lower bound; adds that the foregoing clearly indicates that the shareholders of Confiz Limited will end up deriving an additional benefit from such surplus cash.

  1. In response, learned counsel for the petitioners has filed a rejoinder to explain the impact of Article 9.9 has been explained. Learned counsel for the petitioners contend that the interplay between the swap ratio and the potential cash dividend is unequivocal and clear as envisaged in the Scheme; adds that this is apart from the fact that the Scheme was presented before the shareholders and has been deliberated in the Companies' meetings, including the meetings held under the chairmanship of Joint Chairpersons appointed by this Court. In order to refute the contentions of learned counsel for SECP, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that for the purposes of approved swap ratio, an anchor valuation of petitioner No.2 has been agreed and since it is an admitted position that the mergers take time and the

petitioner No.2 would continue as a going concern, its value could increase or decrease based on operations and in the event of increase of value prior to the order of sanction of Scheme by this Court, there would be a payout to the shareholders of petitioner No.2/Confiz Limited in the form of dividends, which payment has been confined and made subjected to the existence of distributable reserves. In order to substantiate his submissions, learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to Article 9.9 of the Scheme of Arrangement, which explicitly supplies that payout to the shareholders of Confiz Limited is ‘subject to the existence of distributable reserves’. Learned counsel has also placed reliance upon the judgments in the case of International Multi Leasing Company v. Capital Assets Leasing Corporation Ltd and another (2004 CLD 1), Brooke Bond Pakistan Ltd. and another v. Aslam Bin Ibrahim and another (1997 CLC 1873), Dewan Salman Fibre Ltd, Islamabad v.

In the matter of the Companies Act, 2017 and Beach Luxury Holdings (Pvt.) Ltd. Spencer and Company (Pvt.) Ltd. and Physons (Pvt.) Ltd. (2025 CLD 1438).

  1. In order to appreciate the contentions of the parties, the relevant clause of the Scheme of Arrangement i.e. Article 9.9 has been considered and the same clearly transpires that the distribution or payout, as the case may be, to the members of petitioner No.2/Confiz Limited in the form of dividends is clearly subject to the existence of distributable reserves, which is solely a commercial expediency and does not call for any unwarranted interference by the regulator as well as by this Court for the reason that the said Article 9.9 has been considered, deliberated and approved by more than 99% of the members of the companies, who participated in the meetings, which were scheduled in connection with the proposed Scheme of Arrangement placed for sanction of this Court. Thus, the members/shareholders being the best judge of the commercial expediencies and exigencies have a right to make decision in this regard as there is no statutory or regulatory prohibition against the proposed arrangement. It is well settled that the members/shareholders of the companies, who have joined hands to propose a Scheme of Arrangement are the best judges of their own interest and unless the Court finds that the Scheme is unfair or inherently unreasonable, the Court cannot interfere and question the collective wisdom of members of the companies, nor the Court exercises any such jurisdiction while

considering the Scheme of Arrangement for launching an investigation upon the commercial merits and demerits of the Scheme.¹ Likewise, the Company Court does not act as a Court of appeal nor it sits in the judgment over the informed and consciously deliberated decision making process of the shareholders of the companies, who join hands for reaching a consensus and compromise. The reason for this restraint adopted by the Courts is rooted in the well settled realm of ‘corporate and commercial wisdom of the concerned parties’ for which the Courts neither have any expertise nor expected to pass decisions in such jargons. In short, the Court must act as an umpire to ensure that the process has been undertaken in a fair, lawful and transparent manner, therefore, the question of ratio of exchange of shares including the swap ratio and the method of valuations are best left at the wisdom of the shareholders and their auditors, who are the best judges and experts for these matters.² The overwhelming majority of the members has approved this commercial arrangement, which is under consideration, therefore, the sanction cannot be withheld on the observations of SECP as no element of lack of fairness and reasonableness has been made out. The sanctioning of the Scheme of Arrangement should not be scrutinized in a manner, which tantamount to a hair splitting expert nor the job of the Court is that of a meticulous accountant.³ In the instant case, no objection of any nature has been

raised from any quarter nor any shareholder of any of the petitioner companies has come forward, whereas, all the statutory requirements and requisite formalities have been fulfilled, therefore, no exception can be taken to the Scheme of Arrangement in view of the observations made by SECP as it is well settled that once the requirement of the Scheme for getting sanction of the Court are found to have been met, the Court will have no further jurisdiction to sit in appeal over the commercial wisdom of the majority of the class of persons, who with their open eyes have given their approval of the Scheme.⁴

  1. In view of the above, the observations sought to be raised by respondent SECP are without any merit and thus, inconsequential, therefore, the same are rejected.

  2. No objections have been filed by any of the creditors of the Petitioners or anyone else.

  3. The Scheme of Arrangement for merger / amalgamation prima-facie is not prejudicial to the interests of the members and creditors of the petitioner companies. The Court is, therefore, satisfied with the merits of the Scheme (which is placed on record as “Annexure – A”). The Scheme is, therefore, sanctioned and it will take effect in terms thereof, and the Petition is allowed as prayed.

BENEFITS OF THIS SCHEME

Judge 33
Pages 3/11

A. Arrangements Between Systems, Confiz and their Respective Members

The Amalgamation shall allow Systems and Confiz to effectuate the arrangement envisaged by the parties, including the companies and their respective members, through the provisions of sections 279 to 283 and 285(8) of the Act, in a seamless manner.

B. Larger Asset Base

The Amalgamation would lead to an increase in the asset base and the size of the surviving entity i.e. Systems. This would in turn allow the surviving / merged entity to have access to more external funds at competitive rates, as well as a combined pool of assets that is likely to provide better investment and growth opportunities. The larger size of the equity and asset base would provide greater comfort to existing and potential creditors of the surviving / merged entity. Moreover, access to a combined pool of resources is likely to improve growth prospects and the ability to undertake more efficient allocation of capital through larger assignments / projects.

C. Synergies

The Amalgamation would provide an opportunity to operate the business / operations of Systems and Confiz through a consolidated operations department, as well as a single finance and administration department, which is expected to result in the following potential synergies:

(i) Operational synergies, including economies of scale through, inter alia, optimized planning and deployment with respect to the combined business / operations of Systems and Confiz (having similar and complementary nature of business);

(ii) Technical synergies, including technological advancements, developments and process improvements from knowledge sharing, greater research and development activities for product / software development and cost reduction, improving efficiencies through resource optimization, obtaining the benefit of an enhanced engineering pool resulting in a reduction in engineering costs, and sharing of technical and other data for the improvement of business and execution capabilities; and

(iii) Human Resources synergies, including workforce optimization through the use of experienced teams, improved resource allocation and skill optimization, knowledge and experience sharing, as well as employee development involving shared training and development programs to enhance employee capabilities.

D. Increase in Risk Absorption Capacity

The larger size of Systems (as the merged / amalgamated entity) would increase its risk absorption capacity, thus enhancing the capacity to manage the potential risks arising out of

ATTESTED
Examiner
Copy Suppl. Section
above High Court, Lahore
MRS
Confiz Limited
7


img-5.jpeg

an adverse and / or uncertain operating environment. In the long run, this factor would provide greater stability as well as sustainability in the business and operations for Systems.

E. Larger Product and Customer Portfolio

The Amalgamation would result in Systems (as the surviving entity) having a greater product range / portfolio and potentially better profitability. The larger merged entity would also be in a position to explore additional value added product / services streams. The same would also be beneficial from a marketing, distribution and retail perspective.

Additionally, Systems would also have access to, and be able to benefit from, a larger customer base, including Confiz's international customers, many of which are serviced through the subsidiaries of Confiz, which would become subsidiaries of Systems as a consequence of the Amalgamation.

F. Reduction in Administrative Costs

The Amalgamation would enable the merged entity i.e. Systems to carry out the business / operations of Systems and Confiz through single operations, accounts / finance, treasury, administration, human resources and management information system departments, under one set of management and staff, as well as sharing of office space, thus resulting in considerable cost savings and economies of scales, as well as better and more efficient coordination and use of resources.

G. Single Corporate and Tax Reporting

The Amalgamation will make single corporate and tax reporting possible for the merged entity. The same will entail the elimination of maintenance of separate records for business operations, selling, purchasing, marketing, legal, administrative, and secretarial and other records under the various laws, which currently results in duplication of work and higher costs.

H. Leveraging Against the Assets of Confiz

The Amalgamation will allow Systems to acquire the benefit of the Assets of Confiz without having to pay cash consideration in respect of such Assets (including its subsidiaries), and leverage the same for raising further capital (potentially at lower cost) for growing the business and enhancing shareholder value.

I. Cost Savings and Rationalization

The Amalgamation would enable the companies and their respective members to rationalize and save costs under the applicable laws while effectuating the envisaged arrangement.

img-6.jpeg

img-7.jpeg


  1. Benefits to the Respective Shareholders of Systems and Confiz

Overall, the Amalgamation is likely to (in the context of the benefits set out above) enhance shareholder value as well as future returns for all shareholders of Systems (including the shareholders of Confiz upon their becoming shareholders of Systems upon the effectuation of the Amalgamation). The merged entity will have larger market capitalization and an improved market position with the potential for better performance, both in terms of the ability to deploy capital more effectively and manage its resources and operations more efficiently.

Furthermore, taking into account that Systems is listed on the PSX, the merged / surviving entity will allow for more liquidity of shares, allowing shareholders (especially minority shareholders) to trade in their shares with more ease. This will also be beneficial for the shareholders of Confiz, in favour of whom Systems Shares shall be issued in consideration for the Amalgamation, as the said shareholders shall receive shares of a listed company, and shall be in a position to trade in such shares. Additionally, a robust company may attract more investors, further improving shareholder returns and shareholder value.
