Scheme of Amalgamation

The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 15th June 2023 based on the recommendations of the Audit Committee and the Committee of Independent Directors, has considered and approved the scheme of amalgamation amongst Pitti Castings Private Limited (PCPL) and Pitti Rail and Engineering Components Limited (PRECL) and the Company and their respective shareholders and creditors, under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Rationale for the Scheme

The Company had acquired shares in PCPL originally with an objective to ensure vertical integration of businesses which would provide increased opportunities and better margins to the Company. However, due to operational and financial reasons, the Company could not complete the consolidation historically. With a view to now achieve vertical integration and broaden its footprint across the supply chain, the Company has strategically decided to integrate the Castings Business with its operations which will result in the following synergies (i) Enhance the Company’s control over the supply and inventory management of its raw materials by a unified approach on supply chain management and consequent synergies leading to optimization of resource utilization, reduced finance cost, operational cost, reduced duplication of administrative efforts and better procurement policies and prices, for the combined business. (ii) Allow the Company to gain access to long-term contracts by bolstering an entire integrated process helping them cover the end-to-end supply chain. (iii) Enhance the Company’s margins and profitability and reduction in related party transactions of the Company which would enhance value for all its stakeholders. (iv) Help the Company to diversify its business and provide the Company with access to a new set of customers and industries.

PRECL was incorporated as a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company for the purpose of undertaking a greenfield project in relation to the manufacture of railway and engineering components. Since the Company has undertaken the said business through Brown field project, there is no longer need of a separate corporate entity. The Scheme is expected to provide the following benefits (i) The amalgamation will result in simplifying the corporate structure and elimination of duplication in administrative cost and multiple record keeping thus resulting in cost savings.

Consideration

There is no cash consideration involved in the Scheme. The equity shares to be allotted by the Company in consideration of the amalgamation is based on the registered valuers report

dated 15th June, 2023, issued jointly by Mr. Niranjan Kumar, and SSPA & Co., Chartered Accountants. Keynote Financial Services Limited, an Independent SEBI registered Category-I Merchant Banker has provided its opinion on the fairness of Share Exchange Ratio as recommended in the Valuation Report.

Share Exchange Ratio: 01 (One) equity share of Pitti Engineering Limited of H 5/- each, fully paid-up for every 55 (Fifty-Five) equity shares of PCPL of H 10 /- each, fully paid-up.

The consideration for the Scheme shall be discharged on an "arm’s length” basis. The transaction is a related party transaction, and is exempted from separate approval requirements under Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013. The equity and preference shares held by the Company in PCPL would get cancelled upon amalgamation. PRECL is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Hence, all the equity shares issued by PRECL to the Company and/ or its nominees shall stand cancelled and extinguished upon amalgamation.

Current Status

The Company had filed the Scheme with Stock Exchanges on 26th June 2023 and received their no objection on 26th October 2023. Further, the Company has received approval from the shareholders and creditors pursuant to a National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) convened meeting on 22nd March 2024.

Review of operations

During the year, the Indian economy remained under pressure due to low levels of industrial and infrastructure investments. However, during the last quarter of the financial year, the Company benefitted from some early signs of improvement in the key economic indicators such as inflation and current account deficit. This changing environment supported strong financial performance of the Company in Q4 FY 2014, resulting in gross sales of Rs. 264.31 crores for FY 2014. Of the total sales, domestic sales contributed Rs. 161.34 crores and export sales Rs. 102.97 crores. Export sales were impacted by the postponement of orders from some of the Company''s international clients, although the situation improved from Q4 FY 2014. In particular, the export of stator frames sales declined by 450 units to 501 in FY 2014. EBITDA was Rs. 24.06 crores in FY 2014, a decrease of 38% compared to the same period of last year. PAT for the period decreased from Rs. 9.85 crores in FY 2013 to Rs. 4.21 crores in FY 2014.

Major corporate developments:

New Clients: During the year under review, the Company started supply to high profile customers such as Wind World (Enercon) and Jeumont Electric.

From September 2014, the Company expects to start supplies to companies such as:

a. Motor Segment: Toshiba, Mitsubishi-Electric and Industrial Systems Corporation

b. Thermal Power Segment: ALSTOM and Bharat Forge

c. Turbo Generators / HT Motors: WEG

Small Laminations and Die Casting:

The Company entered into the small laminations and die casting segment in FY 2014 to capitalise on the prevailing opportunities in the consumer sector. This diversification is an extension of the Company''s existing business, and limited capital expenditure was incurred. This segment is expected to result in significant cost synergies as the wastage from the industrial segment will contribute to the raw material required for this division. The consumer segment is less prone to seasonal and business cycles and is expected to strengthen the Company''s positioning in the domestic market.

Small laminations are used in making core, stators and rotors for electric motors, compressors, generators and turbines. The major customers for the segment include Texmo, Crompton Greaves, Tecumseh, Amara Raja, Servomax, Elmas, Tibrewala Fans, Crompton Greaves and V-GUARD.

Establishment of New Plant at Pune:

The Company is in the process of setting up a manufacturing facility with production capacity of around 15,000MT per annum at Pune. The new plant is focused on providing best-in- class products to customers. As many of the major domestic customers of the Company are located in Maharashtra and Gujarat, this will help in reducing the logistics effort while providing for better customer service. Moreover, the major domestic suppliers of PLL are also located in Nasik and Pune. Furthermore the facility will be closer to the Mumbai seaport, where the Company receives its imported raw materials. This new facility will enable PLL to save time, freight cost and improve inventory turnover, besides providing better customer satisfaction at competitive prices. The Company anticipates an increase in domestic volumes post completion of the project.

Expansion of Machining Division:

During the year, PLL started an expansion project for the machining division with the objective to provide "One stop solutions" to customers. The Company added new machinery and equipment to meet customer requirements. Samples in compliance with client needs from the new set-up have been submitted and the Company expects new orders in due course. This expansion is expected to add to revenue and profitability from FY 2015.

Status of Open Offer: As informed earlier, Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) has allowed the appeal vide its order dated 31st October 2013 in favour of the acquirers to the open offer process. However, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has advised the Merchant Bankers not to proceed with the open offer. SEBI has filed an appeal with the Hon''ble Supreme Court of India against the SAT order dated 31st October 2013 and the matter is now pending before the apex court of India.

Capital expenditure

During the year, the Company took many strategic decisions like capacity expansion and diversification with the objective of providing one stop solutions to customers. These initiatives resulted in total capital expenditure of Rs. 19 crores. Of this total capital expenditure, Rs. 12 crore was incurred on the expansion of machining division and the remaining Rs. 7 crore was utilised for setting-up the smaller laminations segment.

PLL plans to invest around Rs. 6 crore in FY 2015 for setting up the manufacturing facility at Pune. This expansion will provide a competitive advantage to the Company in terms of customer service and supplier logistics.

As the request for the approval for re-issue of 8300 forfeited shares was to be dealt with by a different wing in the stock exchange, the company apprehended delay in obtaining approvals from Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange and therefore deferred the proposal to re-issue forfeited shares to the promoters and restricted the preferential allotment to 40,50,000 equity shares only.

The listing approval for the preferential allotment of equity shares to the promoters has been obtained from the stock exchanges. The re-issue of 8300 equity shares will be made at an appropriate time subject to the approval of regulatory authorities.

As a result of the preferential allotment, the shareholding of the promoter group has gone up to 60% from 42.84% and therefore triggered the requirements of open offer.

It was stated in the last Annual report that the acquirers (promoter group) would be making an open offer under the SEBI Take Over Regulations for atleast 20% of the paid-up equity share capital of the company as expanded pursuant to the preferential allotment of equity shares. Accordingly the acquirers forming part of the promoter group, namely Pitti Electrical Equipment Pvt Ltd and Smt Madhuri S Pitti have made a public announcement to acquire 26,98,340 equity shares from the public shareholders of Pitti Laminations Limited (Target Company) and a
