Reduction in overheads, elimination of duplicate work, and enhanced overall business efficiency.
Significant reduction in multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances.
Enhancement of shareholders' value of both the Transferor and Transferee Companies.
The Appointed Date for the Scheme is April 1, 2025. Upon the Scheme becoming effective, the Transferor Companies shall stand dissolved without winding up, and their entire undertakings, assets, liabilities, and obligations shall vest in Somany Ceramics Limited. Since the Transferor Companies are wholly owned subsidiaries, no shares will be issued or allotted as consideration.
Voting Process and Approval Threshold
The e-voting facility for both meetings is being provided by Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL). For the equity shareholder meeting, shareholders holding shares as on the cut-off date of June 6, 2026 are eligible to vote. For the unsecured creditors' meeting, voting rights are in proportion to the principal amount due as on December 31, 2025. The Scheme shall be deemed approved only if a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the respective class — equity shareholders or unsecured creditors — casting their votes through remote e-voting or e-voting during the meeting, agree to the Scheme, as required under Section 230(1) read with Section 232(1) of the Companies Act, 2013.
