=========================================
looking at the Board Meeting details it looks like Jayant Agro is going to borrow upto 700cr and the Postal Ballot Special resolution is for these 700cr.. and other related activities..
but then digging a bit deeper and looking at the Companies Act, 2013 shows something different..
Consider point b of the Postal Ballot..
b) Creating mortgages, charges, hypothecation etc. on the company assets, undertaking properties, under section 180(1)(a) to secure the borrowings of the Company
If you read Section 180(1)(a) of the Company Act 2013 it states..
=========================================
180. (1) The Board of Directors of a company shall exercise the following powers only with the consent of the company by a special resolution, namely:—
(a) to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking of the company or where the company owns more than one undertaking,of the whole or substantially the whole of any of such undertakings. Explanation.—For the purposes of this clause,—
(i) “undertaking” shall mean an undertaking in which the investment of the company exceeds twenty per cent. of its net worth as per the audited balance sheet of the preceding financial year or an undertaking which generates twenty per cent. of the total income of the company during the previous financial year;
(ii) the expression “substantially the whole of the undertaking” in any financial year shall mean twenty percent. or more of the value of the undertaking as per the audited balance sheet of the preceding financial year;
=========================================
You can compare the Postal Ballot statement for Section 180(1)(a) in blue and one can read the company Act 2013 Section 180(1)(a) in red
Clearly Section 180(1)(a) talks about special resolution for sale of substantial assets (exceeds 20% of company networth or generates 20% of its income)
For the year ending March 2013:
Jayant Agro Standalone total Income: 1215Cr
Consolidated Total Income: 1640Cr
Thus Ihsedu Agro chem Total Income: 425Cr
20% of 1215 = 243Cr
20% of 1640 = 328Cr
So in both terms Ihsedu Agro Chem's Income exceed 20% of Jayant Agro's Income
======================
For the year ending March 2013
Jayant Agro Stand alone Networth: 143.16Cr
Jayant Agro Consolidated Networth: 173.65Cr
thus Ihsedu Agro Chem's Networth: 30.49Cr
20% of Jayant Agro Standalone Networth= 28.63Cr
20% of Jayant Agro Consolidated Networth= 34.73Cr
Ihsedu Agro Chem networth exceeds standalone networth of Jayant Agro..
=======================
- Ihsedu Agro Chem is a substantial subsidiary with Income more than 20% of total Income for last year ie. 2013.
- Ihsedu Agro Chem is a substantail subsidiary with networth more than 20% of standalone networth of Jayant Agro.
- Ihsedu Agro Chem networth is less than 20% of consolidated Networth of Jayant Agro.
========================
Conclusion: looks like the postal ballot is after all not for raising loans upto 700Cr(upto.. means loan from 1cr to 700Cr ).. its more so to get approval to sell a substantial asset... most likely its Ihsedu Agro Chem where Arkema would prefer to hold majority stake.. ( to protect its number one position in castor derivative business worldwide)
700cr could be a hypothetical number .. it could also be the price Arkema pays for majority stake in Ihsedu Agro chem.
Another point worth considering is that promoters might sell stake in Jayant agro itself for 700Cr by selling stake in Jayant Finvest which holds more than 50% in Jayant agro.. but then.. do they need a special resolution to sell stake in a company that is pvt?.. Naw.. so most likely its substantial stake sale by Jayant in Ihsedu agro chem.. and its going to be substantial.. amount somewhere around 700Cr
So here it is much before the real announcement is made .. information is available that stake sale will happen giving us a chance to enter in before the stock starts appreciating..Jayant Agro: CMP: 121, MCap: 181.50cr
Multibagger if it all turns out to be true.. still its cheap even at cmp for jayant agro as a company.. so heads I win tails I donot loose much!!
