On April 3, 2022, the Board of Directors of HDFC Investments Limited and HDFC Holdings Limited had approved the merger of their respective companies with and into the Corporation.

With effect from the appointed date and upon the amalgamation of the Corporation with and into HDFC Bank becoming effective, the Corporation along with all its assets, liabilities, contracts, employees, licenses, records and approvals being their respective integral parts shall stand transferred to and vest in or shall be deemed to have been transferred to and vested in HDFC Bank, as a going concern.

Upon the Scheme becoming effective and in consideration of the proposed amalgamation of the Corporation with and into HDFC Bank, the Corporation will stand dissolved without being wound up and the shareholders of the Corporation as on the record date will receive 42 shares of HDFC Bank (each of face value of ` 1), for 25 shares held in the Corporation (each of face value of ` 2). This share exchange ratio has been arrived at based on a joint valuation report submitted by two registered valuers and a joint valuation report submitted by two independent chartered accountancy firms, which was supported by a fairness opinion provided by a Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) registered merchant banker.

During the period between the approval of the Scheme by the respective boards of the Corporation and HDFC Bank and up to the effectiveness of the Scheme, the business of the Corporation and HDFC Bank shall be carried out with reasonable diligence and business prudence in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, in accordance with the applicable laws and as mutually agreed.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation and HDFC Bank have opined that the proposed amalgamation would be in the best interest of the respective companies, their shareholders, employees, creditors and other stakeholders, since the proposed amalgamation will yield advantages as set out, inter alia, below:

1. The amalgamation is based on leveraging the significant complementarities that exist amongst the parties to the Scheme. It would create meaningful value for various stakeholders, including respective shareholders, customers, employees, as the combined business would benefit from increased scale, comprehensive product offering, balance sheet resiliency and the ability to drive synergies across revenue opportunities, operating efficiencies and underwriting efficiencies, amongst others;
2. HDFC Bank would benefit from a larger balance sheet and networth which would allow underwriting of larger ticket loans and also enable a greater flow of credit into the Indian economy;
3. The loan book of the Corporation is diversified, having cumulatively financed 9.3 million dwelling units. With the Corporation’s leadership in the home loan arena developed over the past 45 years, HDFC Bank would be able to provide customers, flexible mortgage offerings in a cost-effective and efficient manner;
4. HDFC Bank has access to funds at lower costs due to its high level of current and savings accounts deposits (CASA). With the amalgamation of the Corporation with HDFC Bank, HDFC Bank will be able to offer more competitive housing products;
5. The Corporation’s rural housing network and affordable housing lending is likely to qualify for HDFC Bank as priority sector lending and will also enable a higher flow of credit into priority sector lending, including agriculture; and
6. The proposed amalgamation is expected to result in bolstering the capital base and bringing in resiliency in the balance sheet of HDFC Bank.

The composite Scheme is subject to receipt of requisite approvals, including from statutory and regulatory authorities, as required under applicable laws. The Scheme has been filed with BSE Limited, National Stock Exchange of India Limited and Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
