For For Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd will merge into Grasim Industries Ltd and subsequently there will be partial demerger and listing of financial service business into Aditya Birla Financial Services business. The transaction provides following benefits to Grasim Industries: 1) Deployment of surplus cash generates every year into growth business Grasim Industries has two key lines of business - Cement (held through subsidiary Ultratech Cement) and VSF & Chemicals. Both these businesses are self-sufficient in terms of capital generation and requirements. In fact, VSF & Chemicals businesses are generating surplus cash which cannot be entirely deployed in existing business. Addition of Financial services business through the transaction provides opportunity to utilize the capital into a rapidly growing business which would regularly require capital. This step is quite similar to the one adopted earlier through acquisition of Ultratech cement from L&T in 2003 whereupon surplus cash from VSF business was utilized to build the largest cement business in India. This strategy has created significant shareholder value in past. 2) Strong parentage to provide competitive advantage to ABFS businesses A parent with strong Balance Sheet and surplus cash generating capability should help strengthen rating profile of the NBFC business within ABFS businesses. This, in turn, would provide significant advantage in a competitive market in form of lower borrowing costs et al. 3) Significantly improved liquidity and enhanced weightage in prominent indices The combined entity would have larger market cap and shareholder base which would improve liquidity in the stock. In addition, large market cap would warrant higher weightage in prominent indices like NSE Nifty, Sensex, MSCI India etc. which encourages higher institutional participation.

26-Sep-17 Reliance Communications Ltd. Annual General Meeting Management Approve conversion of outstanding debt into equity to implement Strategic

Debt Restructuring (SDR)

For For The aggregate amount of outstanding loans was Rs. 348.4 bn on June 1, 2017 on a standalone basis. Under the

Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) scheme, lenders have a right to convert whole or part of their debt into equity

share of the company so as to collectively acquire 51% or more of the equity share capital of the company. The

price of equity shares to be issued to lenders upon conversion of loans is Rs. 24.71 per share. Assuming lenders

convert loans so as to acquire 51% of equity share capital of the company, all existing shareholders will get

diluted by 51%. Although the dilution is high, we believe that the proposal will reduce outstanding debt, which is

in the longer-term interest of shareholders.

For Against In 2016, the company implemented ESOS 2016: upto 14. 1 mn stock options, or 5% of the paid-up equity capital

on 31 March 2016. Glenmark Pharma has granted 0. 6 mn stock options till date at an exercise price of Rs. 800

per option. The company proposes to amend the size of the scheme to 1% of paid-up share capital as on 31

March 2017 – 2. 8 mn and re-price the exercise price of the outstanding options from Rs. 800 per option to Rs.

600 per option. ESOPs are ‘pay at risk’ options that employees accept at the time of grant. The inherent

assumption of an ESOP scheme is that there could be possible downside risks – and that employees may not

indeed gain from a stock price movement. By repricing, Glenmark Pharma is attempting to protect employees’

downside risk and ensure that they gain on the upside. Alternatively, the company could let the options lapse

and simply compensate the same employees with fresh options left under the 2016 scheme

expect the company to cap the absolute amount of proposed related party transactions.

crisis after a public tussle with one of the promoters and the abrupt resignation of the CEO. Nandan Nilekani

entity than Idea, the transaction is positioned as a ‘merger of equals’ where Idea’s promoters have the option to

equalize their shareholding with Vodafone at a predetermined price. The deal contours clearly favour Idea as

evinced by Idea’s right to appoint the Chairperson and voting rights for both Idea and Vodafone being equal even

before equalization of shares. The valuation is in line with peers.

prior issue(s) under one or more of the existing ISINs need to be consolidated and reissued. However, to carry

For For With the QIP issue in Resolution # 1 above the stake of M&M Ltd. (promoter in MMFSL) will fall below 50%.

MMFSL wants to maintain promoter stake at minimum levels of 51% at all times to ensure its credit rating will be

maintained. Also, MMFSL is dependent on its parent for a large part of its business (about 46% of the company’s

financing is for M&M’s products: tractors, utility vehicles and small and light CVs) and prefers to remain a 51%

subsidiary of M&M Ltd. At current market prices, MMFSL will raise approximately Rs 20. 2 bn from the two

issues. Aggregate dilution after both issuances (QIP and the preferential allotment) will be 7. 9% of the post issue

capital.

29-Nov-17 NATCO PHARMA LTD. EGM Management Issue of securities upto an amount of Rs. 15.0 bn For For At current market price of Rs. 905. 5 per share, the expected equity dilution is ~8. 7% on the post– issue share

0 bn by issuance of equity shares. The bank now proposes to increase the amount to Rs 50. 0 bn (including the

amount of the previous approval). Assuming current market price of Rs. 184. 15 per share as the issuance price

of securities, PNB will issue ~271. 5 mn equity shares to raise Rs 50. 0 bn. The dilution from the entire allotment

will be ~11. 1% on the expanded capital base. The GoI’s stake will reduce to 58. 6% from the current 65. 9%. PNB

confirms that the GoI shall continue to hold at least 52% of the total paid up equity capital of the Bank, post the

issuance. We believe the equity infusion will help support the bank’s capital adequacy requirements and

expansion plans.

(BBIL), a wholly owned step-down subsidiary, on a going concern basis. As consideration for the transfer, BBIL

will pay Rs. 5. 8 bn to the company. The proposed sale will enable the company to organize its Biosimilars vertical

under an independent management and help in deriving potential synergies. Further, as the proposed sale is to a

wholly owned step-down subsidiary, Biocon’s shareholders would continue holding interest in the Biosimilars

business of the company.

company. The domestic formulations business contributed ~60% to total revenues in FY17. The proposed sale

consideration is 4. 2 times its FY17 revenues. The company aims to expand its international business and will

formulations, API, contract manufacturing and contract research. Part of the proceeds from the sale will be

utilised to pay dividends.

08-Dec-17 HINDUSTAN UNILEVER LTD. Postal Ballot Management Appoint Srinivas Phatak as Whole-time Director for five years with effect from 1

December 2017 for five years and fix his remuneration

For For Srinivas Phatak will be designated Executive Director, Finance & IT and Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1

December 2017. There is limited clarity with respect to his remuneration. We expect his remuneration to range

closer to his predecessor in the same role – which aggregated Rs 74 mn in FY17. This remuneration level is

comparable to peers and commensurate with the size and complexity of his responsibilities. We expect the

company to remain judicious in its director remuneration. HUL must consider providing greater clarity on the

proposed remuneration structures going forward.

09-Dec-17 RELIANCE HOME FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Increase in authorised share capital and alteration in the capital clause of

Memorandum of Association

For For Reliance Home Finance Ltd. (RHFL) is exploring the possibility of raising equity by way of a Qualified Institutional

Placement to Qualified Institutional Buyers (proposed in Resolution #2). Hence, the company seeks shareholder

approval to increase its authorised share capital from Rs 6. 0 bn to Rs 8. 0 bn and a consequent amendment to its

Memorandum of Association.

09-Dec-17 RELIANCE HOME FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Issuance of securities by way of a Qualified Institutional Placement For For The proposed issue of equity by way of a QIP to QIBs may be made in one or more tranches such that the

aggregate amount raised would not lead to a dilution of more than 25% of the issued and subscribed capital or

20% of the post issue capital. With maximum dilution, RHFL will issue ~121. 3 mn shares and at current market

price can raise upto Rs 9. 1 bn. While we recognize that this is an enabling resolution, the company should have

disclosed a fixed quantum of securities to be issued and a well-defined objective for the issuance.

09-Dec-17 RELIANCE HOME FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Ratification of Reliance Home Finance – Employee Stock Option Scheme of

24.25 mn options issued at market price

For For RHFL has issued 1. 6 mn shares under the scheme at Rs 101. 0 per share prior to listing (these ESOS are currently

out of the money as CMP is Rs 75. 0). Future options will be issued at market price, which aligns employee

incentives to shareholder returns. Overall dilution of the entire scheme is expected to be 4. 8% on expanded

capital base.

09-Dec-17 RELIANCE HOME FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Ratification of grant of stock options to employees / directors of subsidiary and

holding company under the employee stock option scheme

For Abstain Paucity of data.

09-Dec-17 V-GUARD INDUSTRIES LTD. Postal Ballot Management Add 1.0 mn stock options to Employee Stock Option Scheme, 2013 (ESOS 2013) For For The cost impact of incremental options will be Rs. 125. 2 mn. Assuming a vesting period of five years, the

company will expense Rs. 25. 1 mn per year incrementally, which is 1. 65% of the FY17 net profit of the

company. While we do not favour stock options issued at a discount to market price, the cost of the scheme is

relatively low as compared to profits. The company has exhausted over 90% of the original scheme size and

needs additional headroom to continue granting options under the scheme. Notwithstanding, the company

should be more transparent in disclosing the basis on which it decides between issuing share options and RSUs

to employees and also the reasons for choosing to add options to existing scheme rather than initiating a new

scheme.

09-Dec-17 V-GUARD INDUSTRIES LTD. Postal Ballot Management Approve payment of commission upto 1% of net profit to Kochouseph

Chittilappilly as Non-Executive Chairperson for three years with effect from 1

August 2017

For For Considering the FY18 Reuters consensus analyst estimate of net profit of Rs. FY18, the net profit of the company

of Rs. 1. 76 bn, the maximum commission payable to non-executive directors (including Kochouseph

Chittilappilly) is ~Rs. 17. 6 mn, relatively high. Notwithstanding, as founder promoter, we believe the company

will benefit from his experience. We expect companies to fix the absolute amount of commission payable to non-

executive directors.

to various sections and schedules and substitute them with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. The

company has uploaded the draft AoA on its website. However certain clauses of the AoA are prejudicial to

minority shareholders and the company must revise its AoA modifying / deleting these clauses.

12-Dec-17 I T D CEMENTATION INDIA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Issue of equity shares or equity-linked securities aggregating upto Rs 3.5 bn

through QIP, private placement or preferential allotment

For For To raise Rs. 3. 5 bn, at current market price of Rs. 209. 6 per share, the company will need to issue 16. 7 mn

equity shares. This will result in equity dilution of ~9. 7% on the post–issuance share capital. ITD had an order

book of Rs. 81. 3 bn on 30 September 2017 and it will require capital for completion of existing and future

projects. The equity issuance will help ITD in maintaining or improving its capital structure.

12-Dec-17 SHRIRAM TRANSPORT FINANCE CO.

LTD.

Postal Ballot Management Amendment of Articles of Association by insertion of new Article 32A to carry

out consolidation and re-issuance of non-convertible debt securities

fresh issuances maturing in a financial year need to be made in excess of the 17 ISINs permitted in that year then

prior issue(s) under one or more of the existing ISINs need to be consolidated and reissued. However, to carry

out such consolidation and re-issuance of debt securities, SEBI’s (ICDR) Regulations requires an enabling

13-Dec-17 PNB HOUSING FINANCE LTD Postal Ballot Management Approve ex-gratia payment aggregating Rs.62 mn by DEL-Mauritius to reward

For For Destimoney Enterprises Limited, Mauritius (DEL Mauritius) earlier held a 49% stake in PNB Housing via its Indian

subsidiary, Destimoney Enterprises Limited, India (DEL- India), which it sold to Quality Investment Holdings,

Mauritius. It proposes to distribute a portion of its gains from the transaction to certain senior management

personnel of PNB Housing. The proposition aligns employee goals with the interests of non-promoter

shareholders. Further, the company will not bear the burden of such rewards. We raise concerns over the lack of

disclosure on the number of employees being covered under the scheme, the basis of their selection and the

method used to arrive at the amount of payment.

years from FY18

For For The company proposes to pay up to 0. 25% of net profit as commission to Independent Directors annually for a

period of five years. PNB Housing has not paid any commission to the Independent Directors in past. The

proposed commission is reasonable compared to the size and complexity of the firm. We expect companies to

cap the absolute amount of commission payable to its Independent Directors.

14-Dec-17 NITIN SPINNERS LTD. EGM Management Issue 1.0 mn equity shares on preferential basis to promoter group entities at

Rs. 120.5 per equity share

For For The company in November 2017 raised Rs. 1. 08 bn, through a QIP, which reduced the promoters stake from 64.

3% to 53. 4%. The proposed issue promoters will raise another Rs. 120. 5 mn for an equity dilution of ~1. 8%. This

will help the promoters shore up their stake to 54. 2% and help NSL strengthen its capital structure.

15-Dec-17 CASTROL INDIA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Issue one equity share of Rs.5 each as bonus for each equity share held For For Post issuance, the paid-up equity share capital of the company will increase to Rs. 4. 9 bn comprising 989. 1 mn

equity shares of Rs. 5 each. The issuance will result in capitalization of not more than Rs. 2. 5 bn from the

reserves of the company. The bonus issue is expected to increase the liquidity of the equity shares with higher

floating stock and make the equity shares more affordable.

15-Dec-17 CASTROL INDIA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Approval to keep the register and index of members and debenture holders

through subsidiaries) by housing them into four separate companies with

mirror shareholding, which will be subsequently listed

For For CESC proposes to unlock value by creating four separate companies to house the power generation, power

distribution, retail, and information technologies businesses. The shareholding of these companies will mirror

that of CESC –10 shares held in CESC will receive 5 shares of the power generation business, 6 shares of the retail

business, and 2 shares of the information technology business. Power distribution business will be housed under

CESC. The businesses will be listed subsequently. The restructuring will facilitate enhanced focus on each

business segment, and provide flexibility in accessing capital, which is in the long-term interest of the businesses.

15-Dec-17 TATA METALIKS LTD. Postal Ballot Management Approve related party transactions upto Rs.3 bn with Tata Steel Limited

(holding company) in FY18

For For Tata Metaliks Limited proposes to procure ~40% of its coke requirement from Tata Steel Limited (holding

company) in FY18. The total value of the proposed transaction will be upto Rs. 3 bn. The quantity to be

purchased from Tata Steel Limited will be based on actual price of coal and conversion charge thereby reducing

the exposure to the volatility of coke price. The proposed transaction to be carried out is in the ordinary course

of business and at arms-length.

18-Dec-17 AKZO NOBEL INDIA LTD. Postal Ballot Management Sale and transfer of the specialty chemicals business undertaking of the

company to its global entity, Akzo Nobel N.V., or an affiliate, via a slump sale,

for Rs.3.2 bn

For For This transaction follows Akzo Nobel’s global strategy to separate its specialty chemicals business from its paints

and coatings business to create two focused and separate businesses. It will be difficult to run the Specialty

Chemicals India business independently without the parent’s support. The company had paid relatively higher

valuation while acquiring the business from its parents and is now expected to sell it at a relatively lower price

when selling back to parent. However, the company has clarified that the specialty chemicals business acquired

in 2012 was primarily involved in manufacturing, whereas currently, almost 70% of the revenues of the specialty

chemicals segment arises from trading operations and the remaining from manufacturing. Consequently, the

business proposed to be transferred now is substantially different from the one existing in 2011, making them

non-comparable in the strictest sense. The sale is in line with the global strategy and will align the specialty

chemicals and paints business along separate verticals.

19-Dec-17 SHRIRAM CITY UNION FINANCE LTD. Postal Ballot Management Alter the Articles of Association (AoA) by inserting new Article 8.10 For For In order to comply with the SEBI circular for issued debt securities, the company needs to group and consolidate

approval for clauses in its AoA which gives BSE Limited (BSE), Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and SBI right to

nominate directors on board: BSE can nominate directors in proportion to its shareholding (capped at 40% of

board). Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and SBI each can appoint one director as long as their equity share capital

exceeds Rs. 100 mn. The clauses, which are in line with market practices, will not significantly alter the current

board composition.

21-Dec-17 CDSL Postal Ballot Management To divest 48% of shares in CDSL Commodity Repository Ltd (CCRL) held by CDSL

to BSE Investments Limited and Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited for

an aggregate consideration of Rs.240 mn

For For CCRL was floated to establish and run a commodity repository on the lines of a securities depository. CCRL began

operations on 30 September 2017. The company proposes to divest 48% in CCRL to BSE (through its subsidiary)

and MCX as strategic partners holding 24% each. The divestment will take place at book value, since the

company currently has marginal operations. CCRL’s aggregate capital is Rs. 500 mn: therefore, CDSL will raise Rs.

240 mn with this stake sale. We believe MCX and BSE as strategic partners will help CCRL grow.

21-Dec-17 CDSL Postal Ballot Management Appoint K.V. Subramanian (DIN 07842700) as Shareholder Director (Non-

27-Dec-17 DLF LTD. EGM Management Preferential allotment of 397.7 mn compulsory convertible debentures at

Rs.217.25 each and 138.1 mn warrants at Rs.217.25 each to promoters

For For The preferential allotment is subsequent to the promoter’s commitment to invest substantial proceeds from -

the sale of 33% stake in DLF Cyber City Developers Limited (DCCDL) and the proceeds received from tendering

compulsory convertible preference shares of DCCDL - into the company. Ordinarily, we do not support the

issuance of warrants to promoters as it allows promoters to ride the stock price for 18 months. We make an

expand its capital base. Assuming current market price of Rs. 230 per share as the issuance price of securities,

DLF will raise Rs. 39. 8 bn through qualified institutional placement of equity shares. The dilution from the

issuance will be 9% on the extended capital base of the company. All shareholders will be diluted equally.

requirements are forfeited. In this case, however, the warrants are being issued to non-promoters and the

conversion price of Rs. 186. 48 is at a premium of 17% over the CMP of Rs. 158. 9 on 20 February 2018. Had the

For For MCL plans to raise funds for future growth by undertaking expansions or acquisitions. This may be by way of

raise funds after determining the form and terms of the issuance. MCL’s borrowings (including current

equity will enable it to maintain or improve its existing capital structure. Were MCL to raise the entire Rs. 5. 0 bn.

the post issue share capital. MCL must consider providing more granular details regarding the utilization of funds

0. 67 mn shares could not be issued to Redial Investment and Trading Private Limited, as BSE Ltd. Did not grant in-

principle approval, on account of non-disclosure of ultimate beneficiary in the explanatory statement to the

shareholders resolution. The company seeks a fresh approval for issue of 0. 67 mn shares to Redial Investment

and Trading Private Limited, at Rs. 120. 5 per share. The entire preferential issue to promoters will raise another

Rs. 120. 5 mn for an equity dilution of ~1. 8%. This will help the promoters shore up their stake to 54. 2% and

help NSL strengthen its capital structure.

27-Mar-18 OIL & NATURAL GAS CORPN. LTD. Postal Ballot Management Acquisition of 51.1% stake of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited from

Government of India at Rs.369.2 bn
