of <h1>Scheme of Amalgamation Approved: Key Details and Compliance Requirements</h1> <h3>In Re : Mars Industries Private Limited With Dorset India Private Limited</h3> In Re : Mars Industries Private Limited With Dorset India Private Limited - TMI Issues:Petition filed under Sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 for sanction of Scheme of Amalgamation.Analysis:The judgment involved a petition filed under Sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 by the petitioner companies seeking sanction of the Scheme of Amalgamation of two companies. The transferor company and transferee company were both incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, with their registered offices in New Delhi. The Scheme of Amalgamation aimed to leverage synergies between the entities, providing economies of scale, sourcing benefits, and operational efficiencies. The share exchange ratio was detailed in the Scheme, with specific provisions for issuing and allotting equity shares to the shareholders of the transferor company. The Board of Directors of both companies had unanimously approved the proposed Scheme. A previous application had been filed to dispense with the requirement of convening meetings of equity shareholders and creditors, which was allowed by the court.The Official Liquidator raised concerns regarding the premium on issued shares, tax liabilities, and pending proceedings. The petitioners responded, justifying the share swap ratio based on valuation reports and addressing the continuation of pending proceedings post-amalgamation. The Regional Director's report highlighted the treatment of employees, assets, and liabilities post-sanction of the Scheme. No objections were received from any party, and approval was granted based on the equity shareholders' and creditors' consent, along with no objections from the Regional Director and Official Liquidator. Sanction was granted to the Scheme of Amalgamation under Sections 391 and 394 of the Companies Act, 1956, with a directive to comply with statutory requirements. The order clarified that it did not grant exemption from stamp duty and specified the dissolution of the transferor company post-amalgamation. Costs were imposed on the petitioners, who agreed to deposit the specified amount in the Common Pool Fund of the Official Liquidator. The petition was allowed in the stated terms.
