An Indian Experience:Birth of a refinery titan Reliance share swap favours RPL
The share swap ratio for the merger of Reliance Industries with ReliancePetroleum has been fixed at 1:16, meaning one share of Reliance Industrieswill be exchanged for 16 of the latter. Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) willissue 6.92 crore shares to the nearly 22 lakh shareholders of Reliance

CHAPTER14
To determine the correct swap ratio. The swap ratio, i.e., the minimum price that an acquirer has to offer in the
open offer, is determined. [Regulation 20 of SEBI Takeover Regulations]
To determine correct long-term intrinsic value of the acquirercompanys shares that is acceptable to the target companysshareholders.
Issues in using ShareSwap Method

CHAPTER14
Provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 create a hurdle in the useof pure swap method.
Under the Act, there is no exemption nor deferment available frompayment of capital gains tax even if there is no cash considerationflowing from the acquirer to the tendering shareholder in the pure swapmethod, though in some countries such exemption is available.
Issues in using ShareSwap Method
The acquirer companys promoters would not prefer to issue a
large chunk of their own companys shares to the promoters of
the target company and probably even to institutionalshareholders.

CHAPTER14
Issues in using ShareSwap Method
Swap Ratio Method assumes that the tendering shareholder wouldaccept shares instead of cash if he feels that the valuation of acquirercompanys shares used for determining swap ratio is substantially lower
than its intrinsic value.
At the same time, the tendering shareholder also expects that the valueof acquirer companys share considered for the swap ratio is at a
significant discount to its current market price.
Share Swap Method normally leads to making acquisition more
expensive for the acquiring company.

CHAPTER14
The Swap Method leads to dilution of the earnings per share(EPS) as also of the stake of the acquirer companys promoters in
the acquirer company.
Where the target company is bigger than or is comparable to or is notmuch smaller than the acquirer company in terms of total marketcapitalization or intrinsic valuation, swap ratio is not a desirable method
from the acquirers point of view.
This method can be effectively used when one is acquiring relativelymuch smaller company.
Issues in using ShareSwap Method
Due to all these issues, in India, swap method is not preferredeither by acquirer companies or by tendering shareholders.

CHAPTER14
Issue of Preference Sharesof the Acquirer Company
The SEBI takeover regulations do not permit issuance ofpreference shares in lieu of payment of consideration for sharesacquired from the public during the course of an open offer.
Normally, the exiting promoters or institutional shareholders
wanting to cash out their investment in the target companysshares would prefer only cash.
Hence, even this method is also not much workable.

CHAPTER14
Issue of Secured Debt Instruments
of the Acquirer Company
If the acquirer company is a well-known company with an excellentfinancial health, its triple A or double A-rated secured debt instrumentscarrying attractive coupon rate would be well accepted by the tenderingshareholders.
However, the chances of acceptance of such instruments instead of cashwould be better if the company resorts to differential pricing, and
If such debt instruments are listed on a stock exchange with national
trading providing liquidity.
Used imaginatively secured debt instruments can be an effective methodof payment of consideration for those acquirer companies that are notcash rich but have management expertise in substantially improving theperformance and cash flows of the target companies.

Payment in cash
This is of course the most favoured method for effecting payment
to the tendering shareholders.
It is both clean and transparent and well accepted by the selling
shareholders.

CHAPTER14Equity
Internal Accruals:
For most of the domestic acquisitions, the primary source of funding isinternal accruals.
Examples- In October 2002, when Hindalco made an open offer foracquisition of 25.5 per cent of the voting capital of Indal, the entirecost of Rs 218.19 crore was funded purely through internalaccruals.
Recently in December 2008, DaburIndia Limited acquired FemCare Pharma Limited at the total cost of over Rs 250 crore, whichwas mainly funded through internal accruals.

CHAPTER14Equity
IPO/FPO:
Initial Public Offering (IPO)/ FPO by an unlisted company, with majorobjective of mobilizing funds for acquisitions is unlikely to besuccessful in the market, because markets would not be comfortableto fund such a company whose performance in the stock markets isyet to be tested.
Moreover, FPO (like IPO) is a very time-consuming and expensiveprocess.
Hence, one may conclude that FPO is not an effective route formobilizing funds for acquisitions.

Rights Issue:
Rights issue is an effective post-acquisition route to mobilize fundsfor repayment of bridge loans taken from the banks and financialinstitutions for acquisition.
Example-In October 2008, Tata Motors came out with a rights issueof Rs 4145 crore for prepayment of part of the short-term bridge loanavailed by Jaguar Land Rover Ltd, a step-down subsidiary of TataMotors, to partially fund the purchase consideration for the
acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover from Ford.

CHAPTER14Equity
Private Placement/ PE Funds:
Private Equity funds or PE funds are astute investors whounderstand the acquisition game very well. They are also prone totaking high risks. Further, the process of mobilizing funds from PEfunds is much faster. Hence, this is one very much viable route ofmobilizing funds for acquisitions.
ADRs/GDRs:
Use of funds mobilized through issuance of American depository
receipts (ADRs) and Global depository receipts (GDRs) is notpermitted for acquiring a company or a part thereof in India exceptthat the ADR/ GDR proceeds can be utilized for the first stageacquisition of shares in the disinvestment process of public sectorundertakings/ enterprises and also in the mandatory second stageoffer to the public.

CHAPTER14Borrowed Funds
Banks and FIs:
Amongst the banks in India, private sector banks and branches/subsidiaries of foreign banks are more proactive in lending foracquisitions as compared to PSU banks.
Further, so far as the domestic acquisition funding is concerned,banks normally prefer to extend short-term funding, though they areopen to lending medium-term loans also.
Financial institutions like IDFC and HDFC are known to have betterappetite for lending medium-term loans for acquisitions.
Example- When in May-June 2007, Kingfisher acquired DeccanAirways, the funding of the preferential allotment by Deccan Airwayswas done through two medium-term loans- Rs 400 crore term loanof three-year tenure from IDFC and Rs 100 crore term loan of three-year tenure from HDFC.

Factoring
Factoring can provide the necessary extra to make a
merger or sale work. Factoring is a financialtransaction whereby a business sells its accountsreceivables at a discount. Factoring differs from a
bank loan in three main ways The emphasis is on the value of the receivables, not
the firm`s credit worthiness.
Factoring is not loan- it is the purchase of an assets
A bank loan involves two parties whereas factoringinvolves three.

Financing capital may be borrowed from a bank,or raised by an issue bonds.altenatively, the
acquirer's stock may be offered asconsolidation. Acquisition financed through debtare known as leveraged buyouts if they take thetarget private, and the debt are will often be

A merge of a company which is substantiallyfinanced through debt is known as leveragebuy-out. debts usually, forms more than 70%of the purchase price. The share of such afirms are concentrated in the hands of a fewinvestors and are not generally, traded in the

Cross-border acquisitions by Indiancompanies
Size of the Acquisition:
Most of cross-border acquisitions involve/have involved investmentby Indian companies of a sizeable portion of their net worth, if not inexcess of their net worth.
This has a main bearing on the funding structure of theseacquisitions, e.g., Tata Steel acquired Corus Plc.

Internal Accruals:
Since the ticket size of global acquisition, is a significant portion ofor even in excess of the net worth of the Indian acquirer company,
internal accruals cannot be a major or primary source of fundingglobal acquisition.
In Tata Corus case, it can be observed that out of US$13.7 billion paid for acquiringCorus, Tata Steel Limited (i.e., the Indian parent company) invested only US$ 4.9billion (35 per cent). Out of this, the use of internal accruals was only US$ 700
million (5 per cent of the total consideration).

In terms of the RBI regulations, not only ADR/GDR proceeds canbe used for acquisition of foreign companies, such usage is outside
the limit of 400 per cent of net worth as also without limit.
With regard to foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs),however, it is a part of the limit of 400 per cent of net worth.
Many large Indian companies use ADR, GDR and FCCB to createa war chest before going on acquisition spree.
