UltraTech agrees to 4:7 swap ratio for Samruddhi merger

16 Nov 2009 Evaluate

The board of directors of UltraTech Cement has agreed to an exchange ratio of four shares of UltraTech (of Rs 10 each) to every seven shares of Samruddhi (of face value of Rs 5 each). The boards of UltraTech and Samruddhi Cement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grasim Industries, at their meetings held here on Sunday unanimously approved Samruddhi’s merger with UltraTech and the share exchange ratio. The appointed date for amalgamation is July 1, 2010 and the entire process is expected to be completed by the following September.

 

Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group, said the merger will achieve the group’s objective of consolidating its cement business into a single entity, thereby creating a platform that will help in pursuing aggressive growth going forward. Post-merger, Grasim shareholding in UltraTech will increase from 54.8 per cent to 60.3 per cent. Grasim and UltraTech shareholders will have 19.1 per cent and 20.6 per cent stake respectively in the merged entity.

 

Samruddhi Cement will be listed separately on the stock exchanges for a short period to provide an avenue for investors who are not convinced about the swap ratio. The new combined entity will become the country’s largest cement manufacturer, with an annual production capacity of 48.8 million tonnes — ahead of Holcim group companies ACC and Ambuja Cement’s combined capacity of 44.6 MTPA.
