  • The Pe & M&A Quarterly
    JUNE 2020 JUNE 2020 | ISSUE 4 THE PE & M&A QUARTERLY Quarterly News, Trends and Developments Off the Record “The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected all sectors in India and across the globe, except a few. Though initially it was expected that the pandemic would end in a few months, it appears that it will continue for a longer period. Many PE firms and strategic investors have paused or deferred or slowed down their investment plans for the next 6 to 8 months. However, there are exceptions in case of a few. The deal making activity in India appears uncertain for the remainder of this year. On the M&A side, domestic deals are being evaluated. It is getting harder to close transactions in view of mismatch in expectations of the seller and buyer. The present situation has forced them to realign their objectives and expectations. In signed deals, material adverse change clauses are being evaluated, and in new deals it is being made as exhaustive as possible to ensure possible exit in case of change in environment. The overall structure of doing deals is going through a change and the focus is shifting to value creation and sustainability. There is a reasonable possibility that towards the end of the year, if we return to some sense of normalcy, there will be a significant increase in M&A and PE activity.” Satish Kishanchandani, Managing Partner FEATURED JUDGEMENT Banyan Tree Growth Capital vs Axiom Cordages Limited and Ors. 1 ISSUE 4 JUNE 2020 LEGAL UPDATES NON-FATF MEMBERS ALLOWED TO REGISTER AS CATEGORY I-FPI SEBI Updates April 07, 2020: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) has relaxed the rules with respect to SNAPSHOT offshore funds seeking to get registered under the • For all relevant COVID-19 relaxations in “properly regulated” Foreign Portfolio Investor (“FPI”) compliances permitted by SEBI, visit our category.

Secondly, our equity capital is that we – magniloquent finance ministers, confident central bank resources will enable us, even under the self-imposed strategy of governors and professors of the economy included – still don’t have cautious investment, to focus on certain areas, like for example the any good and reliable ideas on how to overcome it or to at least promotion of the off-shore wind sector.
