What the company has told the exchange
The company has informed BSE that the Scheme of Amalgamation of FUTECH INTERNET PRIVATE LIMITED with the company and their respective shareholders has been approved by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Chandigarh Bench (COURT-I).
FUTECH INTERNET PRIVATE LIMITED is described in the update as the Transferor Company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. The company is described as the Transferee Company.
This update continues the company's earlier intimations on the Scheme.
What is still pending
- The sanction is subject to approval of the second motion petition by the jurisdictional Tribunal of the Transferor Company, that is the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, New Delhi Bench.
- The Scheme shall become effective subject to fulfilment of the conditions stipulated in the Scheme and the order of the Hon'ble NCLT, including the above approval and completion of the applicable statutory and regulatory compliances.
- The company has stated that it will update the exchange once the Scheme becomes effective.
What this means in simple terms
An amalgamation is a merger. Here, a wholly-owned subsidiary is proposed to be merged into its parent listed entity, so the subsidiary's business and assets would sit directly inside the listed company once the process is complete.
An NCLT approval of this kind is one required milestone in that process. The update itself makes clear that this approval is not the final step: a second motion petition before the New Delhi Bench of the NCLT is still required, and the Scheme only becomes effective after the conditions in the Scheme and the NCLT order are met and the applicable compliances are completed.
So the order received is a step forward in the process, while the Scheme is not yet effective as per this update.
Points a retail investor may note
- The Scheme is approved by the NCLT Chandigarh Bench (COURT-I) as stated.
- Effectiveness depends on the New Delhi Bench approval of the second motion petition and on other conditions and compliances.
- The company has said it will update the exchange when the Scheme becomes effective.
- The update does not set out any new financial terms of the Scheme; it is an update on the approval process.
