The proposed reorganisation will involve a capital reduction following which the Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPL Limited.

The rationales of the proposed reorganization are to:

  1. create distinct pure-play platforms to unleash growth potential of each independent platform led by specialized talent and combined with efficient deployment of resources;
  2. unlock value by facilitating fair value recognition of the platforms, each having varying growth prospects, profitability and capital intensity;
  3. enable efficient capital allocation for accelerated growth; and
  4. simplify the Issuer’s group structure by aligning operating business segments.

The Appleby team comprised of Malcolm Moller, Partner, Manisha Lallah, Counsel and Abdal Aumeer, Associate.
