Piramal Enterprises (PEL) has acquired shareholders’ approval for the proposed demerger of its prescription drugs enterprise and simplification of the company construction. They supported the transfer with a whopping 99.99% votes.
The firm acquired the shareholders’ nod at a court-convened assembly held on Tuesday, PEL stated in a regulatory replace.
The demerger was to rework the multi-sector conglomerate construction of the corporate into two separate sector-focused – monetary providers and prescription drugs — listed entities and command management positions in these sectors. The demerger follows the group’s acquisition of DHFL for Rs 34,250 crore, which was accomplished in September 2021.
Earlier in October 2021, PEL acquired board approval for a scheme of association between the corporate, Piramal Pharma (PPL), Convergence Chemicals (CCPL), Hemmo Pharmaceuticals (HPPL), PHL Fininvest (PFPL) and their respective shareholders and collectors.
According to the contours of the settlement, the prescription drugs enterprise can be demerged from PEL and consolidated underneath Piramal Pharma. Post the demerger, Piramal Pharma can be listed on NSE and BSE.
The two working subsidiaries — Hemmo Pharma (centered on peptide Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients growth and manufacturing capabilities) and Convergence Chemical (setup for growth, manufacturing and promoting speciality fluorochemicals) — shall be merged with Piramal Pharma to create a consolidated listed pharma entity.
Further, the non-banking monetary firm PHL Fininvest shall be merged with PEL to create a big and listed NBFC. The merged housing finance firm, together with the DHFL acquisition, will turn into a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEL. The firm would turn into a listed NBFC, specializing in retail and wholesale financing, whereas Piramal Pharma would turn into a listed pharma firm providing a portfolio of providers.
In June this yr, Piramal Group chairman Ajay Piramal stated its proposed demerger was on monitor and was anticipated to be accomplished by the third quarter of this monetary yr.
