Devyani International Receives NSE & BSE Observation Letters for Sapphire Foods Scheme of Arrangement
Devyani International received 'no objection' observation letters from NSE and BSE for its proposed Scheme of Arrangement with Sapphire Foods India. The scheme is subject to further approvals, including from CCI. The observation letters are valid for six months from June 12, 2026, within which the scheme must be filed with NCLT.
The receipt of observation letters from NSE and BSE is a crucial step in the scheme of arrangement process. However, the scheme is still subject to further regulatory and shareholder approvals, which introduces some uncertainty. The potential merger could significantly impact the company's structure and operations.
The announcement reports the receipt of observation letters from stock exchanges for a scheme of arrangement. While this is a procedural step forward, it does not represent a final approval or a significant financial event, hence the sentiment is neutral.
Devyani International Limited (Company/Transferee Company) has announced the receipt of observation letters from the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Limited (BSE) concerning the proposed Scheme of Arrangement with Sapphire Foods India Limited (Transferor Company). This development follows the Board of Directors' approval of the scheme on January 1, 2026, and is subject to further statutory and regulatory approvals, as well as the consent of the respective shareholders and creditors.
The observation letters from NSE and BSE indicate 'no objection' and 'no adverse observations', respectively, as required under SEBI Listing Regulations. The scheme is contingent upon obtaining necessary approvals, including from the Competition Commission of India (CCI), and will be filed with the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) within six months from June 12, 2026, the validity date of the observation letters.
The stock exchanges have provided several comments and conditions that the companies must adhere to. These include ensuring compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations, disclosing all ongoing adjudication and recovery proceedings, obtaining CCI approval before filing with NCLT, and prominently disclosing detailed information to shareholders. This information covers the rationale, impact on shareholders, cost-benefit analysis, latest financials, shareholding patterns before and after the scheme, details of valuers and merchant bankers, financial performance (Revenue, PAT, EBIDTA) for the last three financial years, and details of the SFIL Secondary Sale. The scheme also mandates that any equity shares issued must be in demat form.
