Termination of Honda joint venture
In December 2010, the Board of Directors of the Hero Honda Group has decided to
terminate the joint venture between Hero Group of India and Honda of Japan in a phased
manner. The Hero Group would buy out the 26% stake of the Honda in JV Hero Honda. Under
the joint venture Hero Group could not export to international markets (except Sri Lanka) and
the termination would mean that Hero Group can now export. Since the beginning, the Hero
Group relied on their Japanese partner Honda for the technology in their bikes. So there are
concerns that the Hero Group might not be able to sustain the performance of the Joint Venture
alone.
The Japanese auto major will exit the joint venture through a series of off market
transactions by giving the Munjal family—that held a 26% stake in the company—an additional
26%. Honda, which also has an independent fully owned two wheeler subsidiary—Honda
Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI)—will exit Hero Honda at a discount and get over $1
billion for its stake. The discount will be between 30% and 50% to the current value of Honda's
stake as per the price of the stock after the market closed on Wednesday.
The rising differences between the two partners gradually emerged as an irritant.
Differences had been brewing for a few years before the split over a variety of issues, ranging
16
from Honda's reluctance to fully and freely share technology with Hero (despite a 10-year
technology tie-up that expires in 2014) as well as Indian partner's uneasiness over high royalty
payouts to the Japanese company. Another major irritant for Honda was the refusal of Hero
Honda (mainly managed by the Munjal family) to merge the company's spare parts business with
Honda's new fully owned subsidiary Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI).
As per the arrangement, it will be a two-leg deal. In the first part, the Munjal family, led
by Brijmohan Lal Munjal group, will form an overseas-incorporated special purpose vehicle
(SPV) to buy out Honda's entire stake, which will be backed by bridge loans. This SPV would
eventually be thrown open for private equity participation and those in the fray include Warburg
Pincus, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), TPG, Bain Capital, and Carlyle Group.
Honda will continue to provide technology to Hero Honda motorbikes until 2014 for
Company performance
