Coforge Secures RBI Approval for Encora Acquisition's Overseas Investment
Coforge Limited received RBI approval for Overseas Direct Investment exceeding USD One Billion for the Encora acquisition. This follows previous approvals from the US, Australia, and shareholder votes. Other regulatory approvals are in advanced stages.
The acquisition of Encora is a material event for Coforge, and securing a major regulatory approval like the RBI's for a substantial investment amount significantly de-risks and advances the transaction, impacting the company's future growth and strategic positioning.
The RBI approval for a significant overseas investment is a positive development for the Encora acquisition, indicating progress and regulatory clearance.
Coforge Limited has announced a significant development in its ongoing acquisition of Encora.
The company has received approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for Overseas Direct Investment exceeding USD One Billion under the Foreign Exchange Management (Overseas Investment) Rules. This approval is a key step in the transaction, which was executed via a share subscription and share purchase agreement with Encora US Holdco, Inc., Encora Holdings Ltd., Encora Holdco Ltd. (UK), and AI Altius Parent (Cayman) Limited.
This follows previous regulatory approvals, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvement Act approval in the United States, shareholder approval for Preferential Allotment, Debt Funding, and special rights, and competition-related approvals in jurisdictions like Australia. Coforge has indicated that other required regulatory approvals are in their advanced stages of processing and will provide further updates as they are granted.
The company has been actively monitoring these processes and is committed to keeping the stock exchanges informed of all regulatory developments.
