6. The Learned Counsel for the Applicant Companies submits that


following is the rationale of the Scheme:

4
C.A(CAA) / 61 (MB)2023

A Slump Sale

a. TTL is a global technology leader with more than a decade of


experience in providing best-in-class information technology
solutions for efficient citizen service delivery and smart governance,
through its customised solutions. TTL’s primary focus is in creating
and engaging experience for all its customers, thereby ensuring an
effective advantage over the competition. With high expertise in
cutting edge technologies, TTL has become a pioneer in land
governance, citizen services, analytics, system integration,
enterprise resource planning and information technology
infrastructure management services. TTL adopts various financial
models ranging from public private partnership models to build,
own, operate models to execute projects in the domestic as well as
South East Asian and South Asian Association for Regional Co-
operation regions.
b. Over time, TTL has concluded several client engagements in the
digital technology space with both, government and private clients
and has established itself as a strong brand of repute in the digital
technology solutions space.
c. The erstwhile shareholders of TTL have recently transferred 99.19%
of their stake in TTL to an incoming investor. The new owners of
TTL are inclined to focus on the international business of TTL and
desire to transfer the domestic business.
d. E-Centric is an end-to-end IT solutions provider for Government of
India, US Government and Fortune 500 companies. e-Centric is
primarily focused on e-governance projects in India that is growing
at a triple digit growth rate every year and off-shoring solutions
ranging from strategy consulting, business analysis, project
management, software development, software implementation,
maintenance and support and is desirous of inorganically
expanding its business operations in India. TTL is engaged in the
similar line of business as e-Centric; e-Centric believes that there
could be significant synergies to be achieved by the acquisition of

5
C.A(CAA) / 61 (MB)2023

Digital Technology Business Undertaking as e-Centric could


leverage upon the experience, track record, pre-qualification criteria
in bidding for government contracts, market share, etc of Digital
Technology Business Undertaking of TTL, to bid for government
contracts and expand its own business.
e. To this end, e-Centric has approached TTL for acquiring the Digital
Technology Business Undertaking and TTL has agreed to transfer
the Digital Technology Business Undertaking as a going concern on
a slump sale basis (along with all the past experience and track
record adjoining the Digital Technology Business Undertaking) for
the Purchase Consideration (as defined hereinafter) and in the
manner and subject to terms and conditions stated in this Scheme.

B Amalgamation

a. LIVIA and BeGL are an integral part of the Digital Technology


Business Undertaking of TTL. Pursuant to slump sale of the Digital
Technology Business Undertaking, LIVIA and BeGL would be
transferred to e-Centric.
b. Given that the operations of e-Centric, LIVIA and BeGL are
intrinsically connected to each other, the management of e-Centric
desires to merge LIVIA and BeGL into e-Centric once the slump sale
is concluded.
c. This will provide several benefits including streamlined group
structure by reducing the number of legal entities, reducing the
multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances and rationalising
costs

7. The Learned Counsel for the Applicant Companies further submits that
following is the consideration under the Scheme.
