During the last 5 years, main objects of the Transferor Company has been altered vide special resolution passed by the shareholders in their extraordinary general meeting held on March 20, 2017.

7. BACKGROUND OF THE SCHEME

The Scheme inter-alia provides for the following:

  • (i) Amalgamation of the Transferor Company with the Applicant Company;

  • (ii) Cancellation of equity shares held by the Transferor Company in the Applicant Company; and

  • (iii) Issue of equal number of equity shares by the Applicant Company to the shareholders of the Transferor Company.

8. RATIONALE OF THE SCHEME

It is proposed to amalgamate the Transferor Company into the Transferee Company by this Scheme, as a result of which the shareholders of the Transferor Company viz. the promoter group of the Transferor Company (who are also part of the promoter group of the Transferee Company) shall directly hold shares in the Transferee Company and the following benefits shall, inter alia, accrue to the Companies:

  • a) The amalgamation will result in the promoter group of the Transferor Company directly holding shares in the Transferee Company, which will lead to simplification of the shareholding structure and reduction of shareholding tiers of the Transferee Company;

  • b) The promoter group of the Transferee Company is desirous of streamlining its holding in the Transferee Company. As a step towards such rationalization, it is proposed to merge the Transferor Company into the Transferee Company;

  • c) The promoters would continue to hold the same percentage of shares in the Transferee Company, pre and post the amalgamation. There would also be no change in the financial position of the Transferee Company;

  • d) All cost, charges and expenses relating to the Scheme would be borne out of the assets (other than shares of the Transferee Company) of the Transferor Company. Any expense, exceeding the assets of the Transferor Company would be borne by the shareholders of the Transferor Company directly;

  • Further, the Scheme also provides that the shareholders of the Transferor Company shall indemnify the Transferee Company and keep the Transferee Company indemnified for liability, claim, demand, if any, and which may devolve on the Transferee Company on account of this amalgamation.

In addition to the above, the promoters of Welspun Enterprises Limited have been acquiring shares in the open market by way of creeping acquisition. Future acquisitions by Promoter Group at Anjar Road Private Limited may lead Welspun Enterprises Limited becoming a subsidiary of Anjar Road Private Limited. Proviso to clause (87) of section 2 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Companies (Restriction on number of Layers) Rules, 2017 were notified on September 20, 2018. These Rules provide that no company (subject to certain exceptions) shall have more than two layers of subsidiaries. Upon Welspun Enterprises Limited becoming a subsidiary of Anjar Road Private Limited, the above mentioned Rules will put restrictions on incorporation of subsidiaries by Welspun Enterprises Limited’s subsidiaries. The proposed merger of Anjar Road Private Limited with Welspun Enterprises Limited will reduce one layer of company in the holding structure and therefore enhance flexibility of Welspun Enterprises Limited’s subsidiaries to incorporate subsidiary.

In view of the aforesaid, the Board of Directors of both the Companies have considered and proposed this Scheme of Amalgamation under the provisions of Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
