Vedanta Ltd and Cairn India

Vedanta: The shareholders will also get one redeemable preference share in Vedanta Ltd with a face value of 10 rupees, making the deal worth roughly $2.3 billion, according to Euro News. That implies a premium of 7.3 percent to Cairn Friday close and a ratio of 1.04 for 1, marginally better than expectations of a simple 1 for 1 swap. Shareholders in Cairn India, India top private sector oil producer, will get one share in Vedanta Ltd for every share held, the companies said in a joint statement on Sunday. Vedanta began simplifying its complex structure with a 2012 overhaul, but further moves to clean up the group and buy out minorities in its cash generating units have long been awaited by the market. The deal, expected to close in the first quarter of 2016, is the first major structural change under Vedanta Ltd Chief Executive Tom Albanese, the former Rio Tinto boss appointed last year. Cairn India has a roughly $2.6 billion cash pile. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
