B. Rationale for the Scheme
The Board of Directors of the Demerged Company and the Resulting Company, after intensive deliberations, recommended that this is the right time to demerge and separate the business of the Demerged Undertaking from the Demerged Company into the Resulting Company with an expectation to simplify the group structure and to achieve the following synergies for the group:

Further, the operations of the Demerged Undertaking could have access to the Resulting Company's marketing capabilities.
- b. Greater economies of scale and will provide a larger and stronger base for potential future growth;
- c. Consolidation and simplification of the group structure;
- d. reduction in overheads, administrative, managerial and other expenditure;
- e. operational rationalization and increase in operating efficiency; and
- f. synergistic benefits, expansion and acquisition opportunities.

VALUATION APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
Valuation Base: Valuation base means the indication of the type of value being used in an engagement. Different Valuation bases may lead to different conclusions of value. Considering the nature of this exercise, we have adopted Relative Value as the Valuation base.
Premise of Value: Premise of Value refers to the conditions and circumstances how an asset is deployed. Considering the nature of this exercise, we have adopted 'Going Concern' Value as the Premise of Value.
Intended Users: This Report is intended for consumption of the Board of Directors of WCL and WSL and may be submitted to the shareholders of WCL and WSL and relevant regulatory and judicial authorities as may be mandatorily required under the laws of India, in connection with the Proposed Transaction.
It should be understood that the valuation of any entity or business is inherently subjective and is subject to uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. In performing our analysis, we have relied on explanations provided by the Management and have made assumptions with respect to industry performance and general business and economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the companies. This valuation could fluctuate with the passage of time, changes in prevailing market conditions and prospects, industry performance and general business and economic conditions financial and otherwise, of the companies, and other factors which generally influence the valuation of companies and their assets.
Commonly accepted approach/ methods for determining the value of the equity shares of a company/ business, include:
- Income Approach Discounted Cash Flow method
- Market Approach
- Asset Approach Net Asset Value method
There are several commonly used and accepted methods, within the market approach, income approach and asset approach, for determining the Share Entitlement Ratio, which have been considered in the present case, to the extent relevant and applicable, and subject to the availability of detailed information.
Income Approach - Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF")
Income approach is a valuation approach that converts maintainable or future amounts (e.g., cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (i.e., discounted or capitalized) amount.

VALUATION | INVESTMENT BANKING | RESTRUCTURING | ADVISORY SERVICES TRANSACTION SERVICES | TRANSACTION TAX

Under the DCF method the projected free cash flows to the firm are discounted at the weighted average cost of capital. This method is used to determine the present value of a business on a going concern assumption and recognizes the time value of money by discounting the free cash flows for the explicit forecast period and the perpetuity value at an appropriate discount factor. The terminal value represents the total value of the available cash flow for all periods subsequent to the horizon period. The terminal value of the business at the end of the horizon period is estimated, discounted to its present value equivalent, and added to the present value of the available cash flow to estimate the value of the business.
Such DCF analysis involves determining the following:
- Estimating future free cash flows: Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company/ asset 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 of return the capital provider expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.
Market Approach
Market approach is a valuation approach that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e., similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.
Market Price 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.
Comparable Companies Multiple (CCM) Method:
Under this method, the value of the shares / business of a company is estimated 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 (based on past and / or projected working results) after making adjustments to the derived multiples on account of dissimilarities with the comparable companies and the strengths, weaknesses and other factors peculiar to the company being valued. These valuations are 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.
Comparable Transaction Multiple (CTM) Method
Under Comparable Transaction Method, the value of shares / business of a company is determined

VALUATION | INVESTMENT BANKING | RESTRUCTURING | ADVISORY SERVICES TRANSACTION SERVICES | TRANSACTION TAX

based on market multiples of publicly disclosed transactions in the similar space as that of the subject company. Multiples are generally based on data from recent transactions in a comparable sector, but with appropriate adjustment after consideration has been given to the specific characteristics of the business being valued.
Asset Approach
The asset-based valuation technique is based on the value of the underlying net assets of the business, either on a book value basis or realizable value basis or replacement cost basis. A net asset methodology is most applicable for businesses where the value lies in its underlying assets and not in the ongoing operations of the business.
Valuation Approach/ methodology adopted
Valuation of the Demerged Undertaking of WSL has been carried out on a 'sum of the parts' basis considering inter-alia valuation of WSL Steel Business and WSL's equity stake in WSL Investee Companies.
Valuation of WSL Steel Business
Valuation of WSL Steel Business is carried out on a 'going concern' premise. WSL Steel Business is expected to make profits in the near to medium term. The historical net asset value of the WSL Steel Business may not be representative of their earning potential. Accordingly, Asset Approach has not been adopted for the valuation of the WSL Steel Business.
Equity shares of WSL are not listed on any stock exchanges. Accordingly, Market price method is not adopted. Valuation of WSL Steel Business therefore has been carried out adopting a combination of Income approach (Discounted cash flow method) and Market Approach (Comparable Companies Multiple method).
Valuation of WSL Investee Companies
Valuation of WSL Investee Companies is carried out on a 'going concern' premise. WSL Investee Companies are expected to make profits in the near to medium term. The historical net asset value of WSL Investee Companies may not be representative of their earning potential. Accordingly, Asset Approach has not been adopted for the valuation of WSL Investee Companies.
- n Valuation of WSSL has been carried out adopting a combination of Income approach (Discounted cash flow method) and Market Approach (Comparable Companies Multiple method and Market Price Method).
- Considering that ECGPL has finite life, valuation of WCGPL has been carried out adopting Income approach (Discounted cash flow method).
- Considering that ATMT has been recently incorporated and in absence of business plan, valuation of ATMT has been carried out using underlying Asset Approach (Net Asset Method).
Valuation of CRPS
CRPS of WCL are not listed on any stock exchanges. Further, CRPS issued by the other companies may not be comparable with the CRPS of WCL in terms of the coupon rate, tenor, credit rating, etc. Accordingly, the valuation of CRPS of WCL has been carried out adopting the income approach considering inter-alia the coupon rate, tenor, credit rating of WCL and other factors.

SCOPE, ASSUMPTIONS, EXCLUSIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND DISCLAIMERS
Provision of valuation opinions and consideration of the issues described herein are areas of our regular practice. These services do not represent accounting, assurance, accounting / tax due diligence, consulting or tax related services that may otherwise be provided by us or our affiliates.
The scope of our services is to recommend a Share Entitlement Ratio for the Proposed Transaction. Valuation Standards ("ICAI VS") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has been adopted for the valuation.
The recommendation contained herein is as at the date of the Report ("Valuation Date") and is not intended to represent value at any time other than the date of the Report.
This Report, its contents and the results herein are (i) specific to the purpose of valuation agreed as per the terms of our engagement; (ii) the Valuation Date and (iii) are based on the data detailed in the section - Sources of Information. We have been informed by the Management that the business activities of the Specified Companies have been carried out in the normal and ordinary course between March 31, 2021 and the Report date and that no material changes have occurred in their respective operations and financial position between March 31, 2021 and the Report date.
An analysis of this nature is necessarily based on the information made available to us, the prevailing stock market, financial, economic, and other conditions in general and industry trends in particular, as of the Valuation Date. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect this Report and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we do not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Report.
The recommendation rendered in this Report only represents our recommendation based upon information till date, furnished by the Management (or its representatives) and other sources and the said recommendation shall be considered to be in the nature of non-binding advice. Our recommendation will however not be used for advising anybody to take buy or sell decision, for which specific opinion needs to be taken from expert advisors.
The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) ("Coronavirus" or "Virus" or "Covid") is presenting potentially significant impacts upon economic activity and certain businesses. At the Report Date, the Covid pandemic is still ongoing, and the future impact of the Coronavirus was not capable of being qualitatively or quantitatively assessed at this time. For carrying out the valuation, we have factored the impact of Covid in the valuation based on the information available till the Report Date and based on our understanding of the likely impact on the Demerged Undertaking. However, this should not be considered as an accurate assessment of the future impact of the COVID-19 on the Demerged Undertaking, or any prediction regarding the future course of events that would arise due to the Covid pandemic.
Valuation of a business or an entity is not a precise science and the conclusions arrived at in many cases will, of necessity, be subjective and dependent on the exercise of individual judgement. There is, therefore, no single undisputed Share Entitlement Ratio. While we have provided our recommendation of the Share Entitlement Ratio based on the information available to us and within the scope of our engagement, others may have a different opinion. The final responsibility for the determination of the Share Entitlement Ratio at which the Proposed Transaction shall take place will be with the Board of Directors of WSL and WCL While
VALUATION | INVESTMENT BANKING | RESTRUCTURING | ADVISORY SERVICES TRANSACTION SERVICES | TRANSACTION TAX

should take into account other factors such as their own assessment of the Proposed Transaction and inputs from other advisors.
In the course of the valuation, we were provided with both written and verbal information. We have evaluated the information provided to us by/ on behalf of the Management through broad inquiry, analysis and review but have not carried out a due diligence or audit of the information provided for the purpose of this engagement. Our conclusions are based on the assumptions, forecasts and other information given by/on behalf of the Management. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion or offer any form of assurance regarding the truth and fairness of the financial position as indicated in the financial statements. Further, with respect to the information and explanation sought for the Demerged Undertaking, we have been given to understand by the Management that they have not omitted any relevant or material information. Our conclusions are based on the assumptions and information given by/on behalf of the Management. The Management has indicated to us that they have understood that any omissions, inaccuracies, or misstatements may materially affect our valuation analysis/results.
Valuation may be based on estimates of future financial performance or opinions that represent reasonable expectations at a particular point in time. However, we do not provide assurance on the achievability of the results projected by the Management as events and circumstances do not occur as expected and differences between actual and expected results may be material. We express no opinion as to how closely the actual results will correspond to those projected as the achievement of the projected results is inter-alia dependent on actions, plans and assumptions of the Management and macro-economic and other external factors which are beyond the control of the Management. Further, we have relied on the assessment of the Management as regards to contingent and other liabilities.
The Report assumes that the business/companies constituting the Demerged Undertaking complies fully with relevant laws and regulations applicable in its area of operations and usage unless otherwise stated, and that they will be managed in a competent and responsible manner. Further, unless specifically stated to the contrary, this Report has given no consideration to matters of a legal nature, including issues of legal title and compliance with local laws, and litigations and other contingent liabilities that are not recorded/ reflected in the financial statements provided to us.
This Report does not look into the business/ commercial reasons behind the Proposed Transaction nor the likely benefits arising out of the same. Similarly, it does not address the relative merits of the Proposed Transaction as compared with any other alterative business transaction or other alternatives or whether such alternatives could be achieved or are available.
We have relied on data from external sources also to conclude the valuation. These sources are believed to be reliable and therefore, we assume no liability for the truth or accuracy of any data, opinions or estimates furnished by others that have been used in this analysis. Where we have relied on data, opinions or estimates from external sources, reasonable care has been taken to ensure that such data has been correctly extracted from those sources and / or reproduced in its proper form and context.
The valuation analysis is based on the exercise of judicious discretion by the valuer taking into account the relevant factors. There will always be several factors, e.g., management capability, present and prospective competition, yield on comparable securities, market sentiment, etc.

VALUATION | INVESTMENT BANKING | RESTRUCTURING | ADVISORY SERVICES TRANSACTION SERVICES | TRANSACTION TAX

which may not be apparent from the financial statements but could strongly influence the value.

No consideration has been given to liens or encumbrances against the assets, beyond the loans disclosed in the financial statements.

BASIS OF FAIR SHARE ENTITLEMENT RATIO
The basis of demerger of the Demerged Undertaking of WSL into WCL would have to be determined after taking into consideration all the factors and methodologies mentioned hereinabove. Though different values have been arrived at under each of the above methodologies, for the purposes of recommending a Share Entitlement Ratio, it is necessary to arrive at a single value for the Demerged Undertaking of WSL and CRPS of WCL. It is however important to note that in doing so we are not attempting to arrive at the absolute values but at their relative values to facilitate the determination of a Share Entitlement Ratio. For this purpose, it is necessary to give appropriate weights to the values arrived at under each methodology.
The Share Entitlement Ratio has been arrived at on the basis of a relative valuation based on the various approaches/ methods explained herein earlier and various qualitative factors relevant to each company and the business dynamics and growth potential of the businesses, having regard to information base, key underlying assumptions, and limitations.

VALUATION | INVESTMENT BANKING | RESTRUCTURING | ADVISORY SERVICES TRANSACTION SERVICES | TRANSACTION TAX

We have independently applied valuation methodologies discussed herein above as appropriate and arrived at the value per share of the Demerged Undertaking and at the value per share of CRPS. To arrive at the consensus on the Share Entitlement Ratio for the proposed demerger, suitable minor adjustments/rounding off have been done.
The computation of the Share Entitlement Ratio is as under:
| Valuation Approach | Demerged Undertaking (A) | CRPS (B) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| INR per share | Weight | INR per share | Weight | |
| Market Approach: ComparableCompanies Multiple Method | 8.00 | 50% | NA. | 0% |
| Income Approach: Discounted CashFlow Method | 8.17 | 50% | 10.00 | 100% |
| Asset Approach: Net Asset ValueMethod | 11.47 | 0% | NA | 0% |
| Relative Value per share | 8.09 | 100% | 10.00 | 100% |
| Share Entitlement Ratio (A/B) (Rounded off) | 0.81 |
NA: Not Applicable/ Not adopted
On the basis of the foregoing and on consideration of the relevant factors and circumstances as discussed and outlined herein above, we recommend the following Share Entitlement Ratio for the demerger of the Demerged Undertaking of WSL into WCL:
81 (Eighty-One) fully paid up Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares of face Value of INR 10 each of Welspun Corp Limited for every 100 (One Hundred) fully paid-up Equity Shares of face Value INR 10 each held in Welspun Steel Limited.
The Share Entitlement Ratio has been determined based on the capital structure of WSL as on the Report Date and the key terms of the CRPS proposed to be issued by WCL.

3. Data obtained
- 3.1 I have called for and obtained such data information, etc. Ers were necessary forthe purpose of this assignment, which have been, as far as possible, made available to me by the Management. Appendix A hereto broadly summarizes the dara obtained.
- 3.2 For the purpose of this assignment, I have relied on such data summarized in the said Appendix and other related information and explanations provided to me in this rtgard.

4. Approach to Valuation
- 4 I It is universally recognized ftat valuation is not an exact science and that cstlmaring values neccssarily rnvolves selecting a method or an apprcach thal ls suitable for the purpose.
- 4.2 lt may be noted that the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on June 10, 2018 has issued the ICAI Valuation Shndads ("tVS') effec-tive for all the val"etion rcports issued on or after July l, 2018. The IVS is mandatory for a valuation done under the Companies Ac! 2013, and recommendatory for valuation camed out under other statutes/ reqrurcments I have given due cogrizance to the sarne in carrying out the valuation exercise.
- 4.3 For the purpose of arriying at the valuation, I have considered the valuation base as 'Fair Value'. My valuation, and this Report, is based on the premise of'going concem'. Any change in the valuation base, or tle premise could have a significant impact on the valuatron exercise, and therefore, fiis Report.
- 4.4 ryS 301 on Busrness Valualions deals with valuation ofa business ard business ownership interest (i.e. it includes valuation of shares).
- 4.5 IVS 301 specifies that generally, the following three approaches fol yal,atien sf gg5lness/business ownership interest are used:
4.5.1 Market Aooroach
- 4.5.1.I Market approach is a valuation approach that uses prices and other relevant information generatcd by market transactions rnvolving identrcal or comparable (i.e., similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities. The mmmon methodologies under the Market Approach are as under.
- 4.5.1.1.1 Market Price Method:
This method involves determrning the market price ofan entity based on its traded pnce on the stock exchange over a reasonable period of time.
4.5.1.1.2 Comoarable Comoanies Multiple Method ("CCM) :
This method involves valuing atr asset based on market multrple of comparable companies as related to eamings, assets etc.
45.2 Income Annrorch
Income approach i5 a vslrrati6l xpproach that converts marntainable firture amounts (e.g , cash flows or income and exponses) to a single current (i e., discounted or capitalised) amount. An approach based on eamings is relevant in case of companies genemting a steady strcam of income. The steel industry is observed to be cyclical in narure. The prqectons of WSL and WSSL as provided have not been adjusted for this cyclicity. Hence, I have not relied on the Discounted Free Cash Flow approach.
4.5.3 Cost Aoororch
Cost Approach is a valuatron approach that reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity ofan assets (often referred to as curent replacement cost). Thls apprcach is relevant in looking at value of capital-intensrve businesses.

- 4.6 The Transaction involves Demerger by WSL of its Steel Busincss including investrnont in cqulty shares of WSSL and WCPGL into WCL, Against such demerger. WCL would allot 67o Cumulative Rcdcemablc prcference shares at par to the shareholders of WSL I have, thcrcforc, dctcrmincd value of WSL attributcd to Demerged Undcrtaking based on sum of the parrs ("SOTP") approach, so as to detemine the fair ratio of allotmcnt for this transaction.
- 4 7 Under SOTP for the Demerged Undertaking I have recognised the following parts
- 4.7.1. Steel Business comprised in WSL involving manufacture of steel ("Steel Business of WSL')
- 4.7 2. lnve stsnent in WSSL
- 4.7.3 Investment in Welspun Captive power generation limited being used for captive power consumpion in tle Steel Business of WSL.
- For WCPGL I have relied on the fair valudion report dated May 21,2021 obtained by the Managcment from TPG & Co 48
- Each ofthe above part is valued separately and added up to determine the fair valuc of the steet Undertaking. 49
- 4.10 For determination of value of each of the part of the Demerged Undertaking, I have used the examined the applicability ofthe methods listed in para 4.5 above. I discuss below the approach to valuation adopted for each part.
4.1 I Valuation of Steel Business of WSL
4.1 l. I Market Aooroach:
4.ll.l.l Market Pnce Method
The equity shares of WSL are not listed on any stock exchange. Further, the transaction involves demerger ofan undertaking out of thc company. As the shares of the company undergoing the demergerare not listed there is no market price reflection avarlable for the same. Therefore, this medrod is not used for determination of the value of tle dcmerging undenaking of WSL.
4 I I .l .2Under CCM Method
WSL is a company which is in the business of manufacture of steel billets and has had a track record of profits. Hence, I have followed the undermentioned stcps to derive the value of Steel Undertaking of WSL under CCM.
4 I Ll 2.1 Value based on Historic EV/ EBITDA Multiple Method
The broad steps followed to derive the va.lue based on forward Eaming Bcfore lnterest Depreciation Tax and Amortisations ("EBITDA"), are mcntioned hereunder:
. For the purpose of amving at the value under this method I have considered the financial statements of WSL for the year ended March 3 I . 2021.

Drushti R. Desoi Vafuation Report
- Under this method, I have considered the profit before tax of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2021, adjusted for non-operating ald non-recurring cxpenseVincomes, intercst, depreciatron, tax and amortisation in order to arrive ar Adjusted EBIDTA.
- Calculated the Enterprise Value ("EV") of companies in similar line of business comparable to the business being valued, hereinafter referred to as Comparable Companies by adding the amount ofdebt and preferencc capital as applicable to their respective Adjusted Market Capitalization considering their market pncc based on Wcighted Average Price CWAP) over a period of three months ended the Valuation dale . Also computed adjusted EBIDTA for these companies to derive EV/EBIDTA Multrples for the Comparable Companies.
- I observed in case of some of the well tracked Comparable Companies that there is an expectation ofdecline in EBIDTA per tonne rn the year 2023 ovcr the earlier year. Despite such decline there is a strong gro\r'th momentum seen in those companies. This trend was not observed in WSL. Since, eamings rnultiples of Comparable Companies would have built in such grouth expectatron. I have discounted the EV/EBIDTA multiple of the Comparable Companics b1' 20%.
- The EBIDTA of WSL as computed above is then muluplied by such discounted EViEBIDTA Multiple to obtain EV of the Steel Business as at the Valuation Date.
- The EV so amved at above is increased b-v the realizable amount of nonoperanng cash and bank balances and reduced by the amount of borrowings, !o arrive aI the Busincss value/Equity value. It is undentood from the Management that none of the contingent liabilities are expected to crysta.llise. Therefore, no reduction is made for the same.
4.11.2 Cost Aporoach
It may be noted that the Steel Business is capital intensive. For arrivrng al the value under this approach I have considered the r.alue ofassets based on their reflection in the Balance Sheet of WSL as on March 3 l, 2021 .
However, in the final valuation, due cognizance is given to thc fact that, in going concem valuation, eamings potential would be more relevant for determining its value.
4.11.3 Fair valuation of Steel Business of WSL:
I have arrived at the fair value of dre steel undertaking of WSL by applyin g 66 .67Vo weight to the comparable company multiple Method atd,33.33%o weight to the Net asset value method. Under comparable company mulhple method fair value is arrived ar using EV/ EBITDA method.

$x_1 - x_2$
4.12 Valuation of Investment in WSSL
4.12.1 Under Market Approach:
4.12.1.1 Market Price Method
Insofar as valuation of WSSL is concerned, as stated in para 2.4.2, its equity shares are listed on BSE. Therefore, I have determined the market price of WSSL based on Weighted Average Price ("WAP") over a period of three months ended the Valuation date. It may be noted that the shares of the WSSL are thinly traded.
4.12.1.2 Under CCM Method
I have observed that WSSL has incurred losses in the past. However, the Management proposes to revamp the products and focus only on higher margin products, for which it has already set up the capacity. I have, therefore, considered the forward outlook for WSSL to capture its value. I have followed the following steps to derive the value of the equity shares WSSL under CCM Method.
Value based on Forward EV/EBITDA Multiple Method
- For the purpose of arriving at the value under this method I have considered the projected financial statements of WSSL for the period ended March 31, 2023.
- Computed the forward EV/EBIDTA Multiple for the Comparable Companies.
- The EBIDTA of WSSL as computed above is then multiplied by such $\bullet$ forward EV/EBIDTA Multiple and the value thus obtained is the Enterprise Value of WSSL as at the Valuation Date.
- The Enterprise Value so arrived at above is increased by the realizable $\bullet$ amount of non-operating cash and bank balances and reduced by the amount of borrowings, fair value of 12% Non-Cumulative Preference Shares so as to arrive at the Business value/Equity value as at the Valuation Date. It is understood from the Management that none of the contingent liabilities are expected to crystallise. Therefore, no adjustment is made for the same.
- I have divided such Business Value arrived above by the number of fully $\bullet$ paid, issued and subscribed equity shares of WSSL as at the Valuation Date to arrive at the value per share under the Forward EV/ EBITDA Multiple Method.
4.12.2 Cost Approach
WSSL is engaged in asset intensive business. Therefore, this approach would achieve primary importance. However, the company has suffered losses in the past which were funded by debt, which brought down the asset base of the company. Further, in a going concern scenario, the relative earning power, as reflected under the Earnings based and Market approaches, is of greater importance to the basis of amalgamation / arrangement,

Drushti R. Desdi yoluation Report
with the values arrived a on the net asset basis being of limited relevance. Therefore, I have not used the Cost Approach for valuation of WSSL forthis valuation.
4 12.3 Fair Valuation of WSSL:
Considering that the shares of WSSL are thinly traded I have given lower weight to the value amved at under the Ma*et Price Mehod. I have amved at the fair value per share of rhe WSSL by applying 85% weight 0o the valuc arrived at under the CCM Method and 15% weight to the value under the Market pnce method.
4.13 Sum of the perts value of WSL
The fair value ofthe Demerged Undertaking is arrived at by adding the value ofthe 50.03% holding of wSL in wssl- aad 2.95o/o holding of wSL in wCpGL to the value of Steer Business of WSL under each of the approaches adopted.
I have dtvided the fair value of the Demerged undertaking by the frce value of the 6% cumulalive redeemable preference shares to be issued by WCL to amve at the total number of shares to be issued. This is divided by the total issued equity shares of WSL to calculate the fair allotnent rato.
| Total Business Value | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Weights | (lNR in Crores) | ||
| Market Aooroach | 330.36 | |||
| Comparable CompaniesMultiple Method | ||||
| Based on EBITDA | 66.670/0 | 330.36 | ||
| Cost Aooroach | 421.tl | |||
| Net Asset Value Method | 33.33yo | 42t.tt | ||
| Total | lOOo/o | |||
| Business Value as at Valuation Date | 360.61 |

5 Conclusion
Based on the foregoing, in my opinion the ratio of allotnent of preference shares in WCL is: for every I equity share of Face Value Rs.l0 held in WSL 0.81, 60lo Cumulatrve Redeemable Preference Share of Face Value of Rs-10 each in WCL

IV. VALUER'S RECOMMENDATION
As per the Valuation Reports of Valuers, it is quoted
"On the basis of the foregoing and on consideration of all the relevant factors and circumstances as discussed and outlined herein above, we recommend the following Fair Share Entitlement Ratio for the demerger of Steel Business Undertaking of WSL into WCL:
81 (Eighty one) fully paid up Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares of face Value of INR 10 each of Welspun Corp Limited for every 100 (One hundred) fully paid-up Equity Shares of face Value INR 10 each held in Welspun Steel Limited"
"Based on the foregoing, in my opinion the ratio of allotment of preference shares in WCL is: for every 1 equity share of Face Value Rs. 10 held in WSL 0.81, 6% Cumulative Redeemable Preference Share of Face Value of Rs. 10 each in WCL"
Conclusion
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, Share Entitlement Ratio proposed by the Valuers in their Valuation Reports is fair to the equity shareholders of WCL, from a financial point of view.

Kutch, Gujarat - 370 110 and corporate office at Trade World, BKT House, 'C' Wing, 8th Floor, Kamala City, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai - 400013, is engaged in manufacturing of Sponge Iron / DRI, Steel Billets and TMT Bars**. The Company was incorporated on 3rd June, 2004, by Mr. Balkrishan Goenka as a closely held Public Limited Company.
The Company has plants for manufacturing Sponge Iron, MS Billets and TMT Bars as per Indian Standards specifications. The manufacturing facilities are located at Anjar (Gujarat) in a complex with ~100 acres of area. The installed capacity of each of the products is furnished below:

| 288,000 | ||
| Billet | 60,000 | |
| TMT |
** This manufacturing mill of the Company is of smaller capacity and of conventional design / old technology. It is not operational at present due to comparatively higher conversion cost and lower production compared to modern rebar mills.
The company is in the process of setting up a world class modern TMT rebar plant which is continuous horizontalvertical configuration, capable of very high speed rolling and slit rolling capability for smaller sizes. The plant will be capable of rolling 100% hot billet production from existing steel melting facility. The new facility is being set up under a newly formed Company Anjar TMT Steel Private Limited. As a part of the proposed Scheme, this undertaking would also be transferred and vested with WCL.
The plants have proximity to the ports in Kutch region of Gujarat, which facilitates cost effective business operations and export of its products.
The sponge iron plant is based on coal based Direct reduction of Iron ore (DRI) technology and WSL has 4x 100 tpd DRI kilns for production of sponge iron. The waste heat from the production process is used for power generation.
The DRI produced from the sponge iron plant is mixed along with suitable scrap in the Steel melt shop to produce Square Billets. These billets are the raw material for the Thermo Mechanically Treated bars (construction steel), which would be produced at the new facility.
WSL is self-sufficient in its power requirements and receives power from Welspun Captive Power Generation Limited (a group company) to meet its power requirement. Pursuant to the Scheme, WSL would transfer the investments in Welspun Captive Power Generation Limited and the rights of use of power.
Welspun Specialty Solutions Ltd (Erstwhile RMG Alloy Steel Ltd) (WSSL), subsidiary of WSL, is a listed company engaged in manufacturing of Specialty steel (Alloy and Stainless Steel) products namely Blooms, Ingots and Bars, stainless steel seamless pipe/tubes at its facility in Jhagadia, Bharuch.
