The proposed arrangement will streamline various businesses developed by the group, thereby creating focused leadership and management attention. The scheme also involves issuance of equity shares of Sintex Plastics Technology to the equity shareholders of Sintex Industries such that shareholders of Sintex Industries will effectively get one equity share of Sintex Plastics Technology upon demergers against one equity share held in Sintex Industries and listing of these equity shares of Sintex Plastics Technology on the BSE and the NSE. The transaction is expected to unlock value of shareholders by separating various businesses in different entities.
