Thank you and I welcome each and every one of you to this conference call. I think this has been called at short notice but I understand already about 140 plus of you have logged in. Thank you very much for joining us at short notice. What I am going to talk today is about the businesses and the units in the Mahindra Systech i.e. the businesses like forgings, castings, composites; gears and stampings are involved in the transactions which we announced on Saturday. I now want to kind of take you through the steps that are going to happen and the sequence of the transaction. The first step that we announced is that Mahindra Forgings, Mahindra Composites and Mahindra Hinoday we will share sell the shares to CIE subject to regulatory approvals for a total consideration of Rs. 673.70 crores. The second step that will happen is that M&M will invest 96.24 million in CIE Automotive for a 13.5% shares. This will make Mahindra the second largest shareholder in CIE Automotive. The third step will involve all Mahindra Systech companies as defined by me which is Forging, Casting, Composite, Gear, Stamping all of them will come together and be merged into Mahindra Forging and be rechristened as Mahindra CIE Automotive Limited. It will also have the merger of entities which were belonging to the Erstwhile CIE, our CIEs European Forging business will merge in to this Mahindra CIE Automotive Limited. What this results in to my mind is a global alliance and this global alliance will go from what today Systech is about $750 million transaction to a $3 billion revenue company. The second is that it will also have achieved the Systech vision of bringing all of it together as a single entity. The third one is that it will bring about a complete focus of having businesses across the globe with very special focus on BRIC countries. The South American footprint that CIE has and the Indian footprint that Systech has together will provide that kind of focus. The other aspect is about responsibility, we had a responsibility to enable value creation by listing we believe that the ability and the opportunity to create value has been fully operationalised. Now once the final outcome comes in the Mahindra CIE Automotive Limited will have the shareholding wherein M&M will hold 20.2%, CIE depending on how the open offer pans out will hold between 45% to 53% and the balance will be held by PEs and public at large. So these are the broad steps that are involved and got objectives of doing it. It takes us from being a big player to being arguably one of the top 25 auto components companies in the world. I am not saying legalistically but it puts at in a big league so that is broadly the step on

Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Hitesh Goel from Kotak. Please go ahead.
Hitesh Goel
Sir, can you just explain this MUSCO thing, that you are buying real estate and also stake in MUSCO? Secondly also is it possible to share what will be the net sales EBITDA or some financials of CIE Forging?
V S Parthasarathy
So Sanjay, I will give you the second part of the question See first is that there is we have a JV with Sanyo and Mitsui and these shares actually came in to the joint venture because Mahindra was holding. So Mahindra is buying these shares from MUSCO and this is based on a valuation as I said does by terms by Arms length. There is also some surplus land. Both these are assets which the new Systech does not require, so these are required outside and also MUSCO may have some debt which they want to take care of before it becomes in a form then it is easy to treat it as only a Systech asset. Like I told you steel is outside. So these are the assets valuation at arms length basis. In one case E&Y has done it for the shares and ICICI Home Finance for the land part of it.
So total out go on this is? Rs. 340 crores. So M&M will have 100% stake of MUSCO plus they will buy land from MUSCO. The total outgo is Rs. 340 crores?
Let me be clear; M&M will have the steel JV shares that MUSCO had. So MUSCO has a JV in which basically full stake will be bought by Mahindra and some real estate the total value is Rs. 340 crores.
Yes absolutely. MUSCO had a 51% stake in JV which will be bought by Mahindra the rest 49% stake in the JV is held by Sanyo and Mitsui.
V S Parthasarathy
Will remain with those people. Now the second part of the question is what is just give a little bit of feel of the business which are getting merged in to Mahindra CIE Forging?
Yes. So regarding CIE Forgings what we will include into Mahindra CIE is all the Forgings operations in Europe that are basically three plants, there companies that are based in Spain and Lithuania. Companies that are for forgings mainly for passenger cars and with the
