Corneroffice 16 December 2016 the CornerOffice Tata-Mistry boardroom battle A compilation of key developments The Tata Group, India’s largest conglomerate group, has recently witnessed several differences of opinion among its top management. On October 24, 2016, Tata Sons announced the ouster of Mr Cyrus Mistry as its Chairman (though he remains a director on the board). Non- performance, attempting to gain control, and taking critical decisions without keeping Tata Sons’ board informed were cited as the reasons. On requisition from Tata Sons, various Tata Group companies have called for an EGM to evict Mr Mistry as a director. Institutional investors’ votes are likely to play a decisive role in the outcome of this resolution in some of the companies. We summarize the series of events /relevant information that investors might find handy for their decision making. Tata trusts have significant say in India’s largest group SHP of Tata Sons Ltd. The Tata Group, which includes among others, 26 listed entities accounting for ~7% of the BSE’s total market capitalization, is India’s largest conglomerate group. Tata Sons is the Group’s unlisted holding company. About 66% of Tata Sons’ equity capital is held by philanthropic trusts endowed by members of the Tata family. Tata trusts have the power to appoint one-third of Tata Sons’ directors. Any item that requires approval of Tata Sons’ board needs to be ratified by a majority of its trust- nominated directors. Further, Tata trusts have the power to nominate majority of members on the committee constituted for appointment/removal of the Chairman. Tata Sons ousts Mr Mistry from Chairmanship On October 24, 2016, Tata Sons’ board ousted Mr Cyrus Mistry from Chairmanship, citing non-performance, attempting to gain control, and taking critical decisions without keeping the board informed. Since then, Mr Mistry has made counter- Market cap of 26 listed Tata grp Cos (INR b) representations citing legacy issues, lack of freedom, and other issues relating to the Group’s functioning. Institutional investors to play decisive role at EGMs Mr Mistry was the Chairman of seven listed Tata Group companies before being ousted as Chairman of Tata Sons. Since then, he has lost three of these chairmanships. Further, six listed Tata Group entities have called EGMs to evict Mr Mistry from directorship. Such a resolution requires a simple majority approval of shareholders voting. We note that institutional ownership (Refer Exhibit 2) is Source: Capitalline significantly high in all the companies (except TCS); institutional investors, will therefore, play a critical role.

  • The 6Th Japan India Intellectual Forum
    “Doing Business in India through Strategic Business Alliance with Local Company” Today, the attractiveness of Indian market backed by 1.2 billion population and rapidly increasing number of middle class families who are proactive for new experiences is widely recognized in Japan. In India, local companies are overwhelmingly dominant. In 2012, BUSINESSWORLD released the report of corporate ranking (based on sales and asset; except financial corporates). According to this report, only 6 foreign companies (foreign capital over 50%) were ranked in top 100 list, and rest of 94 companies are local Indian companies (among them, 74 companies are private corporates). Since the Government of India liberalized the economy, the foreign investment in India is growing steadily. More over the local companies have aggressively diversified their business portfolio sometimes through strategic alliance with foreign companies, based on their deep rooted strong business foundation and local business know-how. While raising the voice of difficulties to execute a business partnership with local company in India, large number of Japanese corporates already acknowledged the requirement of India specific management skills and know-how and as such looking for possible alliance opportunities with local companies in India. At the same time it is true that the news of dissolution of business alliance with local company by foreign company is frequently reported. To get a clarity on this complex issue, it is a privilege to have Mr. Ishaat Hussain, Director of TATA Sons, the holdings company of TATA Group, the largest conglomerate in India, with us at this occasion. Mr. Hussain’s discussion will focus on the dynamic story of TATA and its real experience of business alliance with foreign companies.
