- Valuation is to be done by an independent registered valuer under the Companies Act, 2013, the Income-tax Rules (Rule 11UA / 11UAA) and SEBI regulations where applicable; a fair opinion from a SEBI-registered merchant banker is to be taken wherever required.
- The MOU provides for director nomination rights in proportion to shareholding, and affirmative/protective rights equivalent to 100% control over reserved matters even where the shareholding is below majority.
- Reserved matters listed include alteration of capital structure, related party transactions, change in business line, borrowings beyond agreed limits, merger/acquisition/divestment, and appointment or removal of key managerial personnel.
- The 100% stake is to be linked to financial performance benchmarks, operational growth metrics and regulatory and statutory compliance track record, with detailed milestones to be documented in definitive agreements.
- Next steps stated in the MOU: negotiate and execute a Share Swap / Share Subscription Agreement, a Shareholders' Agreement and any ancillary agreements.
