Value Added

Singhi Advisors advised S K Bangur Group controlled West Coast Paper Mills (WCPML) in strategic sale of Shree Rama Newsprint (SRNL) to Riddhi Siddhi Gluco Biols Ltd (RSGBL) – all three listed companies on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The transaction presents a rare case where banks (through Joint Lenders Forum) approved change of control and necessary debt restructuring to enable the same (SRNL had ~Rs.3.50 bn debt), backed by commitment from RSGBL to infuse Rs.1.20 bn in SRNL. While the sale helps WCPML to focus on its core business; RSGBL gets a ready industrial platform to re-enter manufacturing sector.
