Mumbai, March 11, 2024: The Board of Directors of Aditya Birla Capital Limited (the Company) and Aditya Birla Finance have approved the Scheme of Amalgamation (Scheme) of Aditya Birla Finance Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary with Aditya Birla Capital Limited. The amalgamation is subject to regulatory and other approvals as may be required.

The Company i.e. Aditya Birla Capital is a listed systemically important non-deposit taking core investment company (NBFC-CIC). Aditya Birla Finance, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a non-deposit taking systematically important NBFC (NBFC-ICC).

The rationale and benefits of the proposed amalgamation are as follows:

Rationalization and simplification of group structure: The proposed amalgamation will result in reduction of legal entities and simplification of the group structure of Aditya Birla Capital.

Improved financial stability: Post completion of the amalgamation, Aditya Birla Capital will get converted from a holding company to an operating NBFC. This will create a unified large entity with a greater financial strength and flexibility enabling direct access to capital. This will also help the Company to maximise its share of opportunities by efficient utilisation and allocation of capital.

Likely stakeholder value enhancement: The proposed amalgamation will lead to consolidation of the businesses and operational synergies and resulting in the expansion and long-term sustainable growth. This will enhance value for various stakeholders of the Company.

Increased operational efficiency: The proposed amalgamation will lead to seamless implementation of policy changes and reduction in the multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances.

The proposed amalgamation will result in compliance with the Scale based Regulations of RBI which require mandatory listing of Aditya Birla Finance by September 30, 2025.
