business entity.
A merger is a transaction that results in the transfer of ownership and control of a
corporation.
A transaction where two firms agree to integrate their operations because they have
resources and capabilities that together may create stronger competitive advantage.
The term merger refers to a combination of two or more companies into a single
company and this combination may be either through consolidation or absorption.
A consolidation is a combination of two or more companies into a third entirely new
company formed for the purpose. The new company absorbs the assets, and possibly

liabilities, of both original companies which ceases to exist. When two firms merge,
stocks of both are surrendered and new stocks in the name of new company are issued.
Generally, mergers take place between two companies of more or less the same size.
In case of absorption one company absorbs another company i.e. it purchases either the
assets or shares of that company. The merger by absorption is always friendly in nature
i.e. both the companies agree to the terms of absorption.
Economy of scale: This refers to the fact that the combined company can often
reduce its fixed costs by removing duplicate departments or operations,
lowering the costs of the company relative to the same revenue stream, thus
increasing profit margins.
Increased revenue or market share: This assumes that the buyer will be
absorbing a major competitor and thus increase its market power (by capturing
increased market share) to set prices.
Cross-selling: For example, a bank buying a stock broker could then sell its
banking products to the stock broker's customers, while the broker can sign up
the bank's customers for brokerage accounts. Or, a manufacturer can acquire
and sell complementary products.

Synergy: For example, managerial economies such as the increased
opportunity of managerial specialization. Another example are purchasing
economies due to increased order size and associated bulk-buying discounts.
Taxation: A profitable company can buy a loss maker to use the target's loss as
their advantage by reducing their tax liability.

The methods of valuation related to mergers and acquisitions can be broadly
categorized into three types, namely market based method, income based method, as
well as asset based method. All these methods carry a significant degree of importance
in the context of mergers and acquisitions. There are numerous elements, which
ascertain whether a particular firm should be acquired or not.
The financial steadiness of the firm, which is to be taken over is quite important to find
out. In addition, the financial track record over the last few years and trends
demonstrated in the macroeconomic ratio and indices require to be analyzed. Among
the methods of valuation related to mergers and acquisitions, the market based method
might be regarded as more appropriate, nevertheless, all the valuation methods are
crucial, taking into account the condition that is prevalent at the time when a merger or

based method and market based method can also be applied. Valuation
received with the help of these procedures may render small values.
Nevertheless, there is a probability that these methods would produce the true
condition of the assets of the target firm.
The asset based method can be further categorized into the following
forms:

2.4-FINANCING
ACQUISITIONS
MERGER
AND
Mergers are generally differentiated from acquisitions partly by the way in which they
are financed and partly by the relative size of the companies. Various methods of
financing an M&A deal exist:
Cash
Payment by cash. Such transactions are usually termed acquisitions rather than
mergers because the shareholders of the target company are removed from the picture
and the target comes under the (indirect) control of the bidder's shareholders.
Stock
Payment in the acquiring company's stock, issued to the shareholders of the acquired
company at a given ratio proportional to the valuation of the latter.

advisers. Third, with a share deal the buyers capital structure might be affected and
the control of the New co modified. If the issuance of shares is necessary, shareholders
of the acquiring company might prevent such capital increase at the general meeting of
shareholders. The risk is removed with a cash transaction. Then, the balance sheet of
the buyer will be modified and the decision maker should take into account the effects
on the reported financial results. For example, in a pure cash deal (financed from the
companys current account), liquidity ratios might decrease. On the other hand, in a
pure stock for stock transaction (financed from the issuance of new shares), the
company might show lower profitability ratios (e.g. ROA). However, economic
dilution must prevail towards accounting dilution when making the choice. The form
of payment and financing options are tightly linked. If the buyer pays cash, there are
three main financing options:

ROLL-427
- Cash on hand: it consumes financial slack (excess cash or unused debt capacity) and
may decrease debt rating. There are no major transaction costs.
- Issue of debt: it consumes financial slack, may decrease debt rating and increase cost
of debt. Transaction costs include underwriting or closing costs of 1% to 3% of the
face value.
- Issue of stock: it increases financial slack, may improve debt rating and reduce cost
of debt. Transaction costs include fees for preparation of a proxy statement, an
extraordinary shareholder meeting and registration.
- Shares in treasury: it increases financial slack (if they dont have to be repurchased
on the market), may improve debt rating and reduce cost of debt. Transaction costs
include brokerage fees if shares are repurchased in the market otherwise there are no
major costs.
In general, stock will create financial flexibility. Transaction costs must also be
considered but tend to have a greater impact on the payment decision for larger
transactions. Finally, paying cash or with shares is a way to signal value to the other
party, e.g.: buyers tend to offer stock when they believe their shares are overvalued
and cash when undervalued.

securities are listed, for listing the new shares allotted to the shareholders of the
transferor company.
R - Court order to be annexed to memorandum of transferee
company.
It is the mandatory requirement vide section 391(4) of the Companies Act, 1956 that
after the certified copy of the Courts order sanctioning the scheme of amalgamation is
filed with Registrar, it should be annexed to every copy of the Memorandum issued by
the transferee company. Failure to comply with requirement renders the company and
its officers liable to punishment.
S - Preservation of books and papers of amalgamated Co.

company should be preserved and not be disposed of without prior permission of the
Central Government.

company, etc.

Once the scheme for merger has been approved by requisite majority of shareholders
and creditors, the scheme cannot be withdrawn by subsequent meeting of shareholders
by passing Resolution for withdrawal of the petition submitted to the court under
section 391 for sanctioning the scheme.
V - Cancellation of the scheme and order of winding-up.
It was held by the Supreme Court m n J.K (Bombay) (P) Ltd. Vs. New Kaiser-I-Hind
that the effect of winding up order is that except for certain preferential payments
provided in the Act, the property of the company is applied in satisfaction of its
liabilities pari passu. Pari passu distribution is to be made in satisfaction of its
liabilities as they exist at the commencement of the winding-up. So long as the scheme
is in operation and is bind on the company and its creditors, the rights and obligations
of those on whom it is binding are undoubtedly governed by its provisions. But once
the scheme is cancelled under section 392(2) on the ground that it cannot be
satisfactorily worked and a winding-up order passed such an order is deemed to be for
all purposes to be one made under section 433. It is not because as if the scheme has
been sanctioned under section 391 that a winding-up order under section 392 (2)

The steps for merger or amalgamation discussed above are not the only considerations
effecting merger but in addition to the above and in relation thereto a number of
special formalities are also complied with which have been covered in detail in
specific chapters like share valuation and exchange ratio, accounting aspects of
funding of reorganization plans, etc.
2.6-Distinction
Acquisitions
between
Mergers
and
Although they are often uttered in the same breath and used as though they were
synonymous, the terms merger and acquisition mean slightly different things.
When one company takes over another and clearly established itself as the new owner,
the purchase is called an acquisition. From a legal point of view, the target company
ceases to exist, the buyer "swallows" the business and the buyer's stock continues to be
traded.
In the pure sense of the term, a merger happens when two firms, often of about the
same size, agree to go forward as a single new company rather than remain separately
owned and operated. This kind of action is more precisely referred to as a "merger of
equals." Both companies' stocks are surrendered and new company stock is issued in
its place. For example, both Daimler-Benz and Chrysler ceased to exist when the two
firms merged, and a new company, DaimlerChrysler, was created.
In practice, however, actual mergers of equals don't happen very often. Usually, one
company will buy another and, as part of the deal's terms, simply allow the acquired
firm to proclaim that the action is a merger of equals, even if it's technically an
acquisition. Being bought out often carries negative connotations, therefore, by
describing the deal as a merger, deal makers and top managers try to make the
takeover
more
palatable.
A purchase deal will also be called a merger when both CEOs agree that joining
together is in the best interest of both of their companies. But when the deal is
unfriendly - that is, when the target company does not want to be purchased - it is
always
regarded
as
an
acquisition.
Whether a purchase is considered a merger or an acquisition really depends on whether
the purchase is friendly or hostile and how it is announced. In other words, the real
difference lies in how the purchase is communicated to and received by the target
company's board of directors, employees and shareholders.
2.7-Varieties of Mergers
From the perspective of business structures, there is a whole host of different mergers.
Here are a few types, distinguished by the relationship between the two companies that
are merging:

world's single-largest refining hub.Becomes the world's 17th largest refining
company . Becomes the worlds fifth largest polypropylene producer. Derives
synergies from combined operations crude sourcing, product placement, supply chain
optimization. Acquires flexibility in operations planning, higher utilisation of
combined cash flows.
RIL has set April 1, 2008 for the date of the amalgamation. The takeover is subject to
approvals by the high courts at Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
Analysts were not surprised by the merger as RIL has played the merger game quite
often in the past. All of RILs subsidiaries involved in refining or petrochemicals in the
past have eventually been merged with RIL. RILs existing refinery was earlier in a
separate company also named Reliance Petroleum. This company, which started
BY- AVISHEK LADDHA
ROLL-427
operations in FY01, was merged with RIL with effect from March 2002.
Also, RIL acquired petrochemical company IPCL in FY03 as part of the governments
disinvestment programme. IPCL was merged with RIL in FY07. Several other
petrochemical companies either promoted by RIL or acquired by it have eventually
been merged with RIL.
The latest merger, which was announced after early morning board meetings today,
will create a behemoth with a total refining capacity of 1.24 million barrels of crude a
day, which is a quarter of the world's total complex refining capacity.
The merger would help source crude oil for the integrated refinery complex and aid
marketing of fuels such as gasoline and diesel globally at a time when demand was
slumping
RIL said the merger would result in RIL operating two of the worlds largest, most
complex refineries; emerging as the worlds fifth largest producer of polypropylene;
and becoming the worlds largest producer of ultra clean fuels at a single location.
The 1.24 million barrels per day refining capacity made at Jamnagar in Gujarat is the
single largest refining hub in the world, beating Paraguana refinery in Venezuela.
The merger, however, did not help the stock price. Shares of RPL dropped as much as
8.3 per cent, but recovered to close 2.3 per cent lower at Rs 74.60. Parent RIL fell as
much as 4.2 per cent before closing 3.84 per cent lower at Rs 1,217.4 on the Bombay
Stock Exchange. The Sensitive Index dropped 3.7 per cent.
Analysts said the ratio was slightly worse than the market expected. But the
cancellation of treasury stock meant RILs earnings per share would go up. The stock
tumbled today more because of global concerns, they said.
Rating agency Moodys said the merger simplified the groups corporate structure,
giving RIL access to an additional 30 per cent of cash flow generation from RPL that it
did not currently have, for a small cash consideration.
RIL, which owns 70 per cent of RPL, will buy Chevron Corps 5 per cent stake in RPL
for Rs 1,350 crore as part of the merger. The US oil major is reselling the shares at the
same price it bought from RIL at the time of the public offering in April 2006.
RIL officials said the company would continue its commercial relations with Chevron
though both agreed to discontinue the equity participation. As per the agreement,
Chevron was supposed to sign crude supply and product off-take agreement with RIL.
But it did not happen as they wanted to exit from the investment in refining. RIL was
now well prepared to buy crude and supply products and hence could go ahead alone,
the officials said.

RIL said the merger would unlock significant operational and financial synergies that
existed between RIL and RPL. Through this merger, RIL consolidated a complex
refinery with minimal residual project risk, while complementing RILs product range.
There would be further gains from reduced operating cost arising from synergies of
combined operations, RIL added.
The RPL refinery, which was commissioned on December 25, 2008, has so far earned
$300 million revenue through early product deliveries.
RILs 33 million tonne per annum (mtpa) refinery at Jamnagar together with RPL's
newly built 29 mtpa export oriented refinery would make it the largest refining
company in India. It would displace state-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) with
50.7 mtpa refining capacity.

ROLL-427
In the list of world's largest refining companies, RIL will become the 17th largest firm
after the merger. The list is led by Exxon Mobil with a massive 5.6 million barrels per
day (mbpd), followed by Shell with 4.6 mbpd and Sinopecs 3.8 mbpd refining
capacities.
Benefits
Background: The proposed merger is in line with global industry trends, for achieving
scale, size, integration, and enhanced financial strength and flexibility to pursue future
growth opportunities, in an increasingly globally competitive environment.
The merger also takes into consideration factors such as:

ROLL-427
RPL has achieved several corporate records in the initial nearly two years of its
operations.
RPL is India's largest private sector company in terms of sales, and second only to RIL
in terms of profit, net worth and assets. RPL has reported cash profit of Rs. 1,877
crores (US$ 389 million) and net profit of Rs. 1,269 crores (US$ 263 million) for the 9
months period April-December 2001.
The proposed merger will thus directly result in:
accretion of over Rs. 1,300 crores (US$ 265 million) to RIL's net profits,
and
acquisition of facilities, which have been valued at over Rs. 21,000 crores
(US$ 4.3 billion) by leading international industry consultants, Chemsystems.
The merger will be significantly accretive for RIL's shareholders, as annualised EPS
will increase from Rs. 26.0 (US$ 0.5) to Rs. 28.8 (US$ 0.6) per share, based on
financial results as announced by RIL and RPL for the first 9 months of the financial
year 2001-02, as annualised.
RPL, on a stand alone basis, enjoys credit rating of AA+ from CRISIL. Its rating was
upgraded from BBB+ to AA+ within just about a year.
The RPL refinery has operated at 107% capacity utilisation rate during the financial
year ended March 31, 2002.In recognition of the benefits of the proposed merger, the
credit rating agencies, CRISIL and FITCH have reaffirmed outstanding AAA and P1+
credit ratings for RIL, and placed RPL's existing AA+ credit rating on rating watch,
with positive implications.
OPERATIONAL BENEFITS
: The merger will contribute to the following substantial benefits for RIL, thereby
enhancing shareholder value:
Scale
Integration
Global competitiveness
Operational synergies
Logistics advantages
Cost efficiencies
Productivity gains
Rationalisation of business processes
Optimisation of fiscal incentives

The merger of RPL with RIL will thus contribute to achievement of RIL's objectives
of attaining leadership in the industry peer group, not only in terms of the assets base,
revenues, production volumes and market share, but also in terms of maximisation of
total shareholder returns.
The merged company will have the ability to leverage its large asset base, diverse
range of products and services, vast pool of intellectual capital and proprietary skill
sets and capabilities, and a demonstrated track record of timely and efficient project
execution for multi-billion dollar projects, to significantly enhance overall shareholder
value.
The merger will also result in increased financial strength and flexibility for RIL, and
enhance its ability to participate in future growth opportunities, particularly in the
BY- AVISHEK LADDHA
ROLL-427
context of its own initiatives in the E&P and Infocom sectors, and the government's
approach towards hydrocarbon sector reforms, deregulation of marketing of petroleum
products, and the privatisation of public sector enterprises.
The integration of the manufacturing and other facilities of RPL and RIL will also
contribute to enhanced global competitiveness for the merged entity, thereby
increasing its ability to compete with its peer group in domestic and international
markets.
The two companies also share common corporate values. These values include
protection of the environment, active support for the communities where they operate,
promoting diversity and
opportunity in the workforce and amongst business partners, and providing sustained
returns to shareholders.
RPL and RIL share common fundamental management philosophies. Both companies
pursue sustainable growth within a conservative financial framework. The merged
entity will adopt a dividend distribution policy in line with existing policies of RPL
and RIL.

RIL holds a 70.38-per cent stake in RPL, while Chevron holds five per cent. The rest is
held by foreign funds, financial institutions and the public.
It is the second merger between RIL and RPL.
Earlier in 2002, RIL had merged RPL, which set up the 660,000 bpd refinery at
Jamnagar in 1999. The new refinery was commissioned in late-December in a Special
Economic Zone adjacent to the old unit.
RIL gets court approval for RPL merger
he Bombay high court has sanctioned the scheme of amalgamation of RPL with
BY- AVISHEK LADDHA
ROLL-427
Reliance Industries [ Get Quote ], Mukesh Ambani-led company said in a filing to the
Bombay Stock Exchange [ Images ].
The high court of Gujarat has also sanctioned the scheme, it added.
"The high court orders have been filed with the respective offices of the registrar of
companies and the scheme has become effective on September 11, 2009, with
appointed date being April 1, 2008," RIL said.
Consequently, 'RPL stands dissolved without winding-up,' the company added.
Shares of RIL were trading at Rs 2,144.05, up 0.14 per cent, whereas RPL was quoted
at Rs 132.20, up 0.76 per cent, in the afternoon trade on BSE.
APART FROM THE BENEFITS FROM THIS MERGER TO THE
SHAREHOLDRERS, A BRIEF APPROACH ON THE NEGATIVE TURN HAS
BEEN NARRATED BELOW.
SP Tulsian, of sptulsian.com doesnt see RIL-RPL merger news a reason to cheer for
shareholders of Reliance Industries. According to him, RIL shares could rise by about
Rs 50 or cross Rs 1,300.
However, he was quick to add that this step will disappoint shareholders of Reliance
Petroleum. "One can see the price correcting to about Rs 70 because ultimately
everything depends on the conversion ratio, which is likely to hover between 18:1 and
24:1.
It all depends on what stand Reliance Industries would take for extinguishment of their
stake of 70% that they hold in Reliance Petroleum. If they go for extinguishment then
it could be a better ratio of 18:1. If they go for non-extinguishment, then the ratio
could be 24:1.

of RPL of Rs 27,000 crore can be taken at about Rs 30,000-33,000 crore as of today.
Therefore, a shareholder of Reliance Industries will be shouting if the ratio is
anywhere more than 24 to 1 because that is the ratio working out, based on the book
value. If market value is the criteria for swap ratio, it works out to about 16-17.
RPL as such is entitled, all its profits will be exempted for the first five years to the
extent of 100% of Section 10AA being a 100% EOU.
Benefits
Tulsian says, RPL has an advantage of the higher Nelson Complexity also. They have
Nelson Complexity of 14.7 against RIL which has 11.7, which will always be giving
the merged entity an extra gross refining margin to the extent of USD 2 per barrel. So
all these things definitely makes a synergy, may be in terms of increasing the capacity
and saving slight payments and overhead cost.
Tulsian is of the view that RIL-RPL merger can easily increase the debt equity ratio,
by 10 bps on the merged entity but this will definitely be EPS accretive for the merged
entity as well. He explains, "May be the retail investors will feel depressed or may be
nervous that their price will get corrected closer to anywhere between Rs 65 to Rs 70.

Historically every company that Reliance Industries Ltd has floated has been folded
into the mother ship at some stage. This way, the promoters have always been able to
increase their stake in the mothership.
The merger ratio, therefore, is more likely to favour RIL than RPL. Again, speaking of
history, RIL has set the swap ratios for earlier mergers at a CAGR of 8-10% from IPO
price. RPLs IPO (in April 2006) was priced at Rs 60. The RPL share price on Friday
was Rs 76 (exactly at 8% CAGR). A 10% CAGR would mean a share price of Rs 80.
Given this, the swap should at best be around 18:1, said Kunal Bhakta, director, Foster
Capital Ventures.
THIN
ARBRITRAGE
FOR
PARTNERS
Basically, whenever a merger is announced and the swap ratio becomes public, the
shares of the company that will cease to exist typically trades at a discount to the
implied swap ratio. The arbitrage opportunity in the extinguishing companys share
depends on liquidity.
MERGER
BY
APRIL
END
The first step for RIL will be to seek legal sanction for the merger. The high court will
hear the application in a week at the earliest. The court is then expected to ask RIL to
get approval from shareholder. A notice for an extraordinary general meeting will have
to be sent 21 days before it is held as per Companies Act. So net-net, the merger could
be consummated legally by April-end, said analysts.

CYCLE
RPLs cash flows are seen helping RILs capital expenditure plans because RPL is
more efficiently structured in terms of cash flows, analysts said. However, while the
deal would bring much-needed liquidity in the short term, it also makes RIL less
attractive to those who do not want to invest in a cyclical, commoditised business.

RIL already earns two-thirds of its revenues from refining, an industry that is facing a
multi-year cyclical downturn. This merger would double RILs refining capacity,
thereby making its non-refining revenues negligible.
This will tie RILs fortunes more closely to the refining cycle, which is globally
entering a stage of depression. On the positive side, there will be a huge contribution to
RILs bottomline from sale of Krishna Godavari gas. The company, which pays only a
11% minimum alternate tax, can now use the depreciation from RPL plant to lower the
profit of the combined entity and save on tax.

rather than on RPL as a company. The tax benefits are expected to continue without
any change. However, it will
have an indirect beneficial impact due to the transfer of depreciation of RPLs plants to
RILs profit & loss accounts.

RIL will have enhanced weight ages in domestic indices, it will also gain
significantly from higher financial strength and flexibility. The merger is likely
to be earnings accretive for RIL from the first year itself.
The merger would help the combined entity save on income tax and dividend
distribution tax.
It would also create a much bigger balance sheet that would help Reliance
Industries raise money for working capital and expansion.
Reliance Industries Ltd. expects to increase the cost efficiency as it will bring
down the costs of Inter-company transfers & operational costs which will
further lead to improving the financial efficiency.

We can expect the conversion of the holdings at around 1 share of Reliance
Industries for every 20 shares of Reliance Petroleum. As the operational costs
of RIL will decrease substantially, this merger will be a good news for
Reliance Industries share holders as the profits are tend to increase after the
decrease in operational costs.

The merger of Reliance Pertroleum (RPL) with Reliance Industries (RIL) is the latest
in a long string of amalgamations and mergers that have taken place over time in the
Reliance group.
As per the arrangement announced by RIL, RPL shareholders of RPL will get one
share of RIL for every 16 RPL shares held by them. Though the merger is effective
April 1, 2008, the record date, i.e. the actual date when the shares will be swapped,
hasnt been announced yet. When the announcement does come in, RPL shareholders
will own RIL shares in lieu of their RPL shares.

about

and
period

This weeks article examines these and other related issues.
First and foremost, from the tax point of view, RPL will be the amalgamating
company, while RIL will be the amalgamated company.
As per the provisions of Sec. 47 (vii) read with Sec. 49(2), any transfer by a
shareholder in a scheme of amalgamation of shares held by him in the
amalgamating company shall not be regarded as transfer ifA. TRANSFER IS MADE IN CONSIDERATION OF ALLOTMENT TO HIM
OF SHARES IN THE AMALGAMATED COMPANY ;AND
B. AMALGAMATED COMPANY IS AN INDIAN COMPANY.
What this means is that any exchange of shares held in the amalgamating
company (RPL) will not be considered as a sale and consequently there will be no
capital gains/ loss as long as the transfer is made in consideration for being
allotted shares in the amalgamated company (RIL).
Moreover, the cost of shares of RPL will be considered as the cost of shares of the
new shares allotted of RIL.
Readers would know that in order for shares to qualify as long-term assets and
consequently as long-term capital gains upon sale, they have to be held for over
12 months.
Now, in this case, to ascertain whether the freshly allotted RIL shares are longterm or not, the period of holding of RPL shares would also be considered.

Indexation however, will start from the date of allotment of RIL shares.
Lets
understand
all
this
in
terms
of
an
example.
Lets say Vishal has acquired 400 shares in RPL on December 15, 2008 @Rs 90
per share. Therefore, his total cost is Rs 36,000 (Rs 90 X 400 shares). Now, on the
record date, his holding of 400 shares in RPL will be converted into 25 RIL
shares (400/ 16). His total cost remains the same, i.e. Rs 36,000, yielding a net cost
per RIL share of Rs 1,440 (Rs 36,000/ 25 RIL shares).
Lets say, going forward, Vishal sells his holding of 25 RIL shares on December
31, 2009 at Rs 1,600 per share. He would get Rs 40,000 on selling the shares. The
capital gain earned would be Rs 4,000 (Rs 40,000 less Rs 36,000). Also, though he
has technically held the RIL shares for less than 12 months (from record date
BY- AVISHEK LADDHA
ROLL-427
which will be on or after April 1, 2009 till December 31, 2009), since the period of
holding of the erstwhile RPL shares has to be aggregated, this capital gain would
be long-term in nature and hence free of tax.
In the above illustration, the example of a shareholder who holds RPL shares that
are an exact multiple of 16 has been used for ease of understanding,. But in real
life, this may not be so. What if one holds only 15 shares or perhaps 200 or even
300 in short a number that is not exactly divisible by 16 such that you get a
precise round figure of RIL shares.
Though it is not clear from the terms so far, in all probability RIL would
compensate
for
the
fractional
shareholding
in
cash.
In this regard, in the case of Gautam Sarabhai Trust, 173 ITR 216 the Gujarat
High Court held that if besides shares, the shareholders of the amalgamating
company are allotted something more in exchange like say bonds or cash, etc.,
then the swap will not get the benefit of exemption from capital gains.
However, experts are of the opinion that the above ruling is applicable only in
cases where the offer for shares plus cash / bonds is a part and parcel of the terms
of the merger itself and not where the cash comes into the picture only to account
for fractional ownership. For example, if the offer were one RIL share plus say
Rs. 50 in cash for every 16 shares of RPL, the swap would be considered as a
transfer and capital gains tax would apply. But since the offer is of one RIL share
only (and nothing else) for every 16 shares held and cash, if at all, comes into play
because fractional shares cannot be offered, the spirit of the law isnt revoked and
hence there would be no capital gain.
THUS the RIL-RPL merger will be completely tax neutral for all
shareholders of RPL.

CHAPTER - 5
CONCLUSIONOne size doesn't fit all. Many companies find that the best way to get ahead is
to expand ownership boundaries through mergers and acquisitions. For others,
separating the public ownership of a subsidiary or business segment offers more
advantages. At least in theory, mergers create synergies and economies of scale,
expanding operations and cutting costs. Investors can take comfort in the idea that a
merger
will
deliver
enhanced
market.
.
By contrast, de-merged companies often enjoy improved operating performance
thanks to redesigned management incentives. Additional capital can fund growth
organically or through acquisition.

M&A comes in all shapes and sizes, and investors need to consider the complex issues
involved in M&A. The most beneficial form of equity structure involves a
complete analysis of the costs and benefits associated with the deals
mergers from shareholders point of view have been highly disappointing. This is
because making the merger work successfully is not the only task to do but making the
people of both the organizations together.
Therefore, while making the merger deals, it is necessary not only to make analysis but
also analyse the cultural issues of both the organization for proper post acquisition
integration.
