The Board noted that the Scheme does not contemplate any allotment of shares of the Company or the Transferor Company. Having regard to the aforesaid provision, the Board of Directors have taken into consideration the report prepared by the Company’s management in relation to the Scheme which inter-alia includes the following: 1. Upon the coming into effect of the Scheme and with effect from the Appointed Date, the Undertaking of the Transferor Company shall, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions, if any, of the Act, be and stand transferred to and vested in and/or be deemed to have been transferred to and vested in the Transferee Company, as a going concern in accordance with Section 2(1B) and other applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act,1961, without any further act, instrument, deed, matter or thing so as to become, as and from the Appointed Date, the undertaking of the Transferee Company, by virtue of and in the manner provided in this Scheme. 2. Valuation report is not required in cases where there is no change in the shareholding pattern of the amalgamated company. Since, TMLDL is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, no shares will be issued and allotted by the Company pursuant to amalgamation and the shares of TMLDL held by the Company shall stand cancelled. The shareholders of the Company will continue to remain beneficial owners of the Company in the same proportion in which they held shares in the Company prior to amalgamation. Accordingly, there will be no change in the shareholding pattern of the Company. 3. As far as the shareholders of the Company are concerned (promoter shareholders as well as non-promoter shareholders) there would not be any dilution in their shareholding in the Company as there would be no issuance of shares by the Company pursuant to the Scheme. 4. Further, no change in the KMP of the Company is expected pursuant to the Scheme becoming effective.
