of LVB will be issued to the equity shareholders of Indiabulls Housing or merger of LVB into India bulls
Housing whereby equity shares of Indiabulls Housing will be issued to the equity shareholders of
LVB.
Arriving at the Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio for the purposes of merger such as the Proposed
sidering the effect of the merger.
Page 8 of 14
The three main valuation approaches are the market approach, income approach and asset
approach. There are several commonly used and accepted methods, within the market approach,
income approach and asset approach, for determining the relative fair value of equity shares, which
can be considered in the present case, to the extent relevant and applicable, and subject to the
availability of detailed information, to arrive at the Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio for the purpose
of the Proposed Merger, such as:
1. Net Asset Value (NAV) Method under AssPt Aprronch
2. Income Approach
a) Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method
b) Earnings Capitalization Value (ECV) Method
3. Market Approach
a) Market Price Method
b) Comparable Companies Multiple (CCM) Method
It should be understood that the valuation of any entity or its assets 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 made assumptions with respect to industry performance and
general business and economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Companies.
In addition, this valuation will fluctuate with changes in prevailing market conditions, the conditions
and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Companies, and other factors which generally influence
the valuation of the Companies and their assets.
The application of any particular method of valuation depends on the purpose for which the valuation
is done. Although different values may exist for different purposes, it cannot be too strongly
emphasized that a valuer can only arrive at one value for one purpose. Our choice of method of
valuation has been arrived at using usual and conventional methods adopted for transactions of a
similar nature and our reasonable judgment, in an independent and bona fide manner based on our
previous experience of assignments of a similar nature.
Asset Approach - Net Asset Value Method:
Under the asset approach, the net asset value method is considered, which is based on the
underlying net assets and liabilities of the company, taking into account operating assets and
liabilities on a book value basis and appropriate adjustments for, interalia, value of surplus / non
operating assets.
Income Approach: Income approach is a valuation approach that converts maintainable or future
Page 9 of 14
• Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method: Under the DCF method the projected free cash
flows to the firm are discounted at the weighted average cost of capital. The sum of the
discounted value of such free cash flows is the value of the firm.
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 that are
availnblc to the providers of the comr;rny'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.
• Earnings Capitalization Value (ECV) Method: This method involves determination of the
maintainable earnings level of the company from their operations, based on past and / or
projected working results. These earnings are then capitalized at a rate, which in the opinion
of the valuer combines an adequate expectation of reward from the enterprise risk, to arrive
at the value of the company.
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. But
there could be situations where the value of the share as quoted on the stock market would
not be regarded as a proper index of the fair value of the share, especially where the market
values are fluctuating in a volatile capital market. Further, in the case of an amalgamation,
where there is a question of evaluating the shares of one company against those of another,
the volume of transactions and the number of shares available for trading on the stock
exchange over a reasonable period would have to be of a comparable standard. This method
would also cover any other transactions in the shares of the company including primary /
preferential issues/ open offer in the shares of the company available in the public domain.
Page 10 of 14
• Comparable Companies Multiple (CCM) Method: Under this method, one attempts to
measure the value of the shares / business of a company 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.
For the present valuation analysis, we have not been provided by the Companies with their projected
financial statements. In the circumstances, in the present valuation analysis, we have considered it
appropriate to apply the Market Price Method and CCM Method, to arrive at the relative fair value of
the shares of the Companies for the purpose of the Proposed Merger.
The values arrived at under such methods by each of the Valuers has been tabled in the next section
of this Report.
Basis of Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio
The fair basis of the Proposed Merger would have to be determined after taking into consideration
all the factors, approaches and methods considered appropriate by the respective Valuers. Though
different values have been arrived at under each of the above approaches / methods, for the
purposes of recommending the Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio it is necessary to arrive at a single
value for the shares of the Companies involved in a merger such as the Proposed Merger. It is
however important to note that in doing so, we are not attempting to arrive at the absolute values
of the shares of the respective Companies but at their relative fair values to facilitate the
determination of a Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio. For this purpose, it is necessary to give
appropriate weights to the values arrived at under each approach / method.
In the ultimate analysis, valuation will have to be arrived at by the exercise of judicious discretion
by us and judgments taking into account all the relevant factors. There will always be several factors,
e.g. quality of the management, present and prospective competition, yield on comparable securities
and market sentiment, etc. which are not evident from the face of the balance sheets but which will
strongly influence the worth of a share. The determination of exchange ratio 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 judgment. This concept is also recognized in judicial decisions. There is,
therefore, no indisputable single exchange ratio.
Page 11 of 14
While we have provided our recommendation of the Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio based on the
information available to us and within the scope and constraints of our engagement, others may
have a different opinion as to the Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio of the equity shares of the
Companies. The final responsibility for the determination of the exchange ratio at which the Proposed
Merger shall take place will be with the Board of Directors of the respective Companies who should
take into account other factors such as their own assessment of the Proposed Merger and input of
other advisors.
The Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio has been arrived at on the basis of a relative fair equity
valuation of the Companies based on the various approaches/ methods explained herein earlier and
various qualitative factors relevant to each company and the business dynamics and growth
potentials of the businesses of these Companies, having regard to information base, key underlying
assumptions and limitations.
We have independently applied methods discussed above, as considered appropriate, and arrived at
our assessment of the value per equity share of the Companies. To arrive at the consensus on the
Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger, suitable minor adjustments / rounding
off have been done in the values.
Page 12 of 14
In light of the above, and on a consideration of all the relevant factors and circumstances as
discussed and outlined herein above, we recommend the following Fair Equity Share Exchange ratio

IBHFL, incorporated in 2000, operates as a housing finance company in India. IBHFL's portfolio of products include
loan products, such as home loans, loans against property, corporate mortgage loans etc. IBHFL is headquartered
in Gurugram. The equity shares of IBHFL are listed on the BSE Limited ('BSE') and the National Stock Exchange of
India Limited ('NSE').
LVB, founded in 1926, provides various banking products and services in India. LVBL offers deposits products, loans,
wealth management services etc. through its treasury, corporate and wholesale banking, retail banking, and other
banking operations segments. The equity shares of LVB are listed on the BSE and NSE.
We understand that the Management of the Specified Companies ('Management') are contemplating amalgamation
of LVB with IBHFL or IBHFL with LVB under the provisions of section 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 and
other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Transaction'). The Appointed Date for the Transaction is
1st January 2018 or such other date as approved by the Courts.
In this connection, the Specified Companies have appointed TPG and RVS to submit a joint report on the Share
Exchange Ratio for the consideration of the Audit Committee/ Board of Directors (the 'Boards') of the respective
Companies as required under the provisions of Section 230 - 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable
provisions of the Companies Act.
As a consideration of amalgamation, equity shareholders of LVB would be issued equity shares of IBHFL or equity
shareholders of IBHFL would be issued equity shares of LVB.
Share Exchange Ratio for this Report refers to number of equity shares of face value of INR 2/- each of IBHFL, which
would be issued to the shareholders of LVB or number of equity shares of face value of INR 10/- each of LVB, which
would be issued to the shareholders of!BHFL, as a consideration for amalgamation.
The scope of our services is to conduct a relative (and not absolute) valuation of the equity shares of LVB and IBHFL
and recommending an exchange ratio for the proposed amalgamation.
The Valuers have been appointed severally and not jointly and have worked independently in their analysis. Both
the Valuers have received information and clarifications from the Specified Companies. The Valuers have
independently arrived at different values per share of Specified Companies. However, to arrive at consensus, on the
Share Exchange Ratio for the proposed amalgamation, appropriate minor adjustments/ rounding off has been done
in the values arrived at by the Valuers.
We have been provided with historical financial information for IBHFL and LVB up to 31st December 2018 including
details of outstanding employee stock options. We have considered the same in our analysis and made adjustments
for further facts made known (past or future) to us till the date of our Report. The current valuation does not factor
impact of any event which is unusual or not in normal course of business. We have relied on the above while arriving
at the Share Exchange Ratio.
This Report is our deliverable for the above engagement.

The determination of Share Exchange Ratio 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
indisputable single share exchange ratio. While we have provided our recommendation of the Share Exchange Ratio based on the information available to us and within the scope and constraints of our engagement, others may have
a different opinion. The final responsibility for the determination of the share exchange ratio at which the proposed
Transaction shall take place will be with the Board of Directors who should take into account other factors such as
their own assessment of the proposed Transaction and input of other advisors.
In the course of the valuation, we were provided with both written and verbal information, including financial and
operating data.
In accordance with the terms of our respective engagements, we have assumed and relied upon, without
independent verification:

APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
Private and Confidential
Recommendation of Share Exchange Ratio 4th April 2019
Page 8 of13
The Proposed Transaction contemplates amalgamation of LVB into IBHFL or IBHFL into LVB. Arriving at the fair
exchange ratio for the purpose of the amalgamation, in accordance with IVS, would require determining the relative values of each company involved and of their shares. These values are to be determined independently but on a
relative basis, and without considering the proposed Transaction.
The three main valuation approaches are the asset approach, income approach and market approach. There are several commonly used and accepted methods including those set out in the IVS, within the asset approach, income
approach and market approach, for determining the relative fair value of equity shares, which can be considered in
the present case, to the extent relevant and applicable, to arrive at the Share Exchange Ratio for the purpose of
amalgamation, such as:
1. Asset Approach - Net Asset Value method
2. Income Approach - Discounted Cash Flows method
3. Market Approach
a. Market Price methodb. Comparable Companies Quoted Multiples method ('CCM')c. Comparable Transaction Multiples method ('CTM')
It should be understood that the valuation of any company or its assets is inherently imprecise and is subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. In performing our analysis, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance and general business and economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Specified Companies.
Asset Approach - Net Asset Value (NAV) Methodology
The asset base valuation technique is based on the value of underlying net assets of the business, either on a book value basis or realizable value basis or replacement cost basis. This valuation approach is mainly used in case where the firm is to be liquidated that is, it does not meet 'going concern' criteria or in case where the assets base dominate
earnings capability.
Both LVB and IBHFL are operating companies and historical book value does not reflect intrinsic value of their
businesses. A scheme of arrangement for a merger would normally be proceeded with, on the assumption that the
companies merge as going concerns and actual realization of the operating assets is not contemplated. Hence, NAV
methodology has not been considered.
Income Approach - Discounted Cash Flows ('DCF') Method
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. The fair value measurement is determined on the basis of the value indicate.d by current market expectations about those future amounts.

Recommendation of Share Exchange Ratio 4th April 2019
Page 9 of 13 Under the DCF method, the projected free cash flows to the firm are discounted at the weighted average cost of
capital. The sum of the discounted value of such free cash flows is the value of the firm. Using the 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 that are available to all 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.
In the present case, we have not been provided with Financial Projections for Specified Companies and have
therefore not used this method for the valuation.
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 ('MP') Method
The market price of an equity shares as quoted on a stock exchange is normally considered as the value of the equity
shares of that company where such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in, subject to the element of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the value of the shares. But there could be
situations where the value of the share as quoted on the stock market would not be regarded as a proper index of
the fair value of the share especially where the market values are fluctuating in a volatile capital market. Further,
where there is a question of evaluating the shares of one company against those of another, the volume of
transactions and the number of shares available for trading on the stock exchange over a reasonable period would
have to be of a comparable standard.
In the present case, since equity shares of IBHFL and LVB are listed on BSE and NSE and the shares are being frequently traded (in terms of Regulation 71A of SEBI issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements (ICDR)
Regulations), we have considered volume weighted average price for appropriate period for valuation of Specified
Companies.
Comparable Companies' Quoted Multiple ('CCM')
Private and Confidential
Recommendation of Share Exchange Ratio 4th April 2019Page 10 ofl3
Under CCM, value of the equity shares of a company is arrived at by using multiples derived from valuations of
comparable companies, as manifest through stock market valuations of listed companies. This valuation is based on
the principle that market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers incorporate all
factors relevant to valuation. Further, relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences
between the circumstances.
Since LVB has been incurring losses recently, we have considered price to book value multiple ('P /BV') of
comparable listed companies for the purpose of our valuation of Specified Companies.
While arriving at the multiples of comparable companies, we have used volume weighted average market
capitalization (for arriving at the price) and book value has been considered as at 30th September 2018/ 31st
December 2018 (as available in the public domain).
The value arrived using the relevant multiples under this method is further adjusted for cash received from QIB in
March 2019 (for LVB), cash receivable on ESOP, fair value of investment and other matters as considered
appropriate.
Comparable Companies' Transaction Multiple ('CTM')
Under this method, value of the equity shares of a company/ business is arrived at by using multiple derived from valuation in comparable companies as manifest through transaction valuations. Relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the circumstances.
We have not used the comparable transactions multiple approach as transaction multiples may include acquirer specific considerations, synergy benefits, control premium and minority adjustments.
Share Exchange Ratio
The basis of the Transaction 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 fair exchange ratio of equity shares, it is necessary to arrive at
a single value for each of the business/ subject companies' shares. It is however important to note that in doing so,
we are not attempting to arrive at the absolute equity values of the Companies, but at their relative value to facilitate
the determination of a fair exchange ratio. For this purpose, it is necessary to give appropriate weights to the values
arrived at under each methodology.
The Share Exchange Ratio has been arrived at on the basis of a relative equity valuation of the Specified Companies.
The exchange ratio is based on various methodologies explained herein earlier and various qualitative factors
relevant to Specified Companies and the business dynamics and growth potentials of the businesses of Specified
Companies, having regard to information base, key underlying assumptions and limitations.
Private and Confidential
Recommendation of Share Exchange Ratio 4th April 2019 Page 11 of 13
In light of the above, and on consideration of all the relevant factors and circumstances as discussed and outlined hereinabove:

Since the Specified Companies are listed on BSE and NSE and equity shares are frequently traded, volume weighted
average market price has been used. For CCM, we have used Price to Book value approach (P/BV) using multiples of
relevant peers. Considering that both these methods are equally important, equal weightage has been considered for
arriving at fair Share Exchange Ratio.
