In the News..
Contd
First of all, the decision was not announced taking into confidence all the stakeholders of the company. Secondly, the twin Maytas companies are being the companies run by the family members of Ramalinga Raju only and it was told that his two sons are major interested party in the twin companies. Thirdly, the deal would have made the cash reach company Satyam into a debt ridden company as it s entire holding of $1.3 billion cash would have gone to Maytas Properties (where promoters were 100 per cent holding) and in Maytas Infrastructures.
Contd
Fourthly, Ramalinga Raju was holding only 8.5 per cent stake of Satyam computer so how can he take decisions of transferring its cash to a company owned by his son without asking the rest of the 91.5 per cent stake holders?
Fifthly, in the name of diversification from software to entirely new area of reality why has a relatively new company Maytas been chosen when several other big players are still there? Sixthly, is it really time to go for shopping in a sector where the economic slowdown is at its severest form?
