Sapphire Foods India Merger: Secondary Sale Termination, Scheme Revised
Sapphire Foods India's merger scheme with Devyani International is revised post termination of a 18.5% stake sale agreement between promoter SFML and Arctic. The revised scheme removes the secondary sale as a condition precedent. Share exchange ratio remains unchanged.
While the core merger terms remain unchanged, the termination of a significant secondary transaction and the subsequent scheme revision introduce a degree of uncertainty and procedural change that could have a moderate impact on the ongoing merger process and stakeholder expectations.
The termination of the secondary sale agreement and the subsequent revision of the merger scheme do not fundamentally alter the terms of the merger for the shareholders, thus maintaining a neutral sentiment.
Sapphire Foods India Limited (the "Transferor Company") announced on August 26, 2026, revisions to its previously disclosed scheme of arrangement for amalgamation with Devyani International Limited (the "Transferee Company"). This follows the mutual termination of a share purchase agreement (SPA) between SFML, a promoter of Sapphire Foods India, and Arctic International Private Limited for the sale of approximately 18.5% of Sapphire Foods India's share capital.
The Board of Directors, in a meeting held on August 26, 2026, took note of the SPA termination and approved a revised Scheme and an amended and restated Merger Framework Agreement. These revisions remove the completion of the secondary sale transaction as a condition precedent for the Scheme's effectiveness. The share exchange ratio of 177 equity shares of the Transferee Company for every 100 equity shares of the Transferor Company remains unchanged.
SFML will now receive shares of the Transferee Company as per the Scheme, similar to other shareholders. While SFML and Arctic may explore a secondary transaction later, the termination of the SPA will not impact the shareholders of either company, and the merger process will continue subject to requisite approvals.
