On December 1, 2016, Atlas Documentary Facilitators Company Private Limited (“ADFC”) and its subsidiary HBL Global Private Limited (“HBL”) amalgamated with HDBFSL. ADFC specializes in back office processing and the Bank regularly transacts business with ADFC.

As of date of amalgamation ADFC held 98.0% of its equity and the financial statements of HBL were consolidated.

In terms of the scheme of amalgamation HDBFSL issued 7,540,515 equity shares of Rs. 10 each to ADFC equity shareholders (in the ratio of 16.75 HDBFSL equity shares of Rs. 10 each for every 1 (one) equity share of Rs. 10/- of ADFC) and it also issued 20,470 HDBFSL equity shares of Rs. 10 each to HBL equity shareholders (in the ratio of 102.35 HDBFSL equity shares of Rs. 10 each for every 1 (one) equity share of Rs. 10 of HBL). In terms of the scheme of amalgamation it was agreed that the “effective date” of the amalgamation would be the date or the last of the dates on which the certified copies of the orders passed by the High Court of Judicature at Bombay and the High Court of Judicature at Gujarat, approving the scheme, are filed by each of the Transferor Companies (viz. ADFC and HBL) and the Transferee Company (viz. HDBFSL) with the respective Registrar of Companies (ROC). Accordingly, December 1, 2016 is determined as the “Effective Date” of the Scheme of Amalgamation between ADFC and HBL with HDBFSL being the last of the dates on which the certified copy of the Bombay High Court order approving the Scheme was filed with the ROC by the transferor companies.

The amalgamation did not have a material impact on the Bank’s financial condition and results of operation since the financial statements of the three named companies i.e., HDBFSL, ADFC and HBL were hitherto also consolidated by the Bank.
