Resolution to be passed under Section 293 (1)(a)
of the Companies Act, 1956, for sale of the
Company's Mancherial Cement Works
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the
following Resolution as an Ordinary Resolution
:
"RESOLVED THAT pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 192A, 293(1)(a) and other applicable
provisions, if any, of the Companies Act 1956,
the Memorandum and Articles of Association and
subject to such other approvals and permissions
as may be required, consent of the Company be
and is hereby accorded to the Board of Directors
of the Company ("the Board" which expression
shall also include a Committee of Directors
constituted for this purpose) to transfer, sell
or otherwise dispose of in any manner whatsoever
the Company's Mancherial Cement Works situated
in Adilabad District in the State of Andhra
Pradesh, to such purchaser/s or assignee/s together
with the rights, title and interest in the immovable
and movable assets, at a consideration which
shall not be less than Rs. 22 crores and on
such terms and conditions as may be decided
by the Board, and as incidental to the transfer,
sale or disposal thereof, the assignment of
the mining leases and quarries appurtenant thereto
subject to requisite approvals, with full power
and uthority to the Board to authorise the finalisation
and execution of all the necessary documents,
agreements, deeds of assignment/conveyance and
other documents and to do all such acts, deeds,
matters and things as may be deemed necessary
or expedient in their discretion to give effect
to the said Resolution."
Explanatory Statement required by Section 173
of the Companies Act, 1956 relating to the aforesaid
Resolution
The Mancherial Cement Works was established
in 1958 and has a relatively small installed
capacity of 3.35 Lakh tonnes per annum using
the old and high cost fuel inefficient semi-dry
process. The said Unit has been incurring losses
for the last several years. It has not been
possible to undertake any major initiatives
for effecting a turnaround of this Unit on account
of its uneconomic size and the large capacity
overhang situation prevailing in the Andhra
Pradesh market in which the Unit operates, which
is likely to continue. Taking into consideration
various factors, the Board of Directors has,
subject to the approval of the shareholders
under Section 293(1)(a) and such other approvals
as may be necessary, given its approval for
the sale of this Unit so that the Company could
better focus on its larger operations. The total
sale consideration for the immovable and moveable
assets if any, to be sold will not be less than
Rs. 22 crores.
The employees working at the Unit on the date
of the transfer will be transferred along with
the Unit or will be offered voluntary retirement
under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme of the
Company.
Section 293(1)(a) of the Companies Act 1956
provides inter alia that the Board of Directors
of a public company shall not, without the consent
of the members of the company, 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,
the whole or substantially the whole of any
such undertaking. The Members are requested
to empower the Board with the requisite authority
under Section 293(1)(a) of the Act to sell the
Mancherial Cement Works.
The Directors commend the Ordinary Resolution
for approval by the Members by exercising their
vote through a Postal Ballot. A Postal Ballot
Form and a pre-paid self-addressed envelope
are being sent along with the Notice.
None of the Directors is interested in the Resolution.
