Takeover battle for MCFL is set to be further intensified as Deepak Fertilisers has raised
its stake by about 6 per cent through an open offer to about 32 percent and inched closer towards the rival Zuari-UB group's combined stake. Deepak Fertilisers has acquired about 6 per cent stake, including 2.66 percent stake from Morgan Stanley and Karnataka State Cooperative Marketing Federation, in the open offer closed yesterday at a price of Rs 93.60 that, sources said.
Rival Zuari-UB group combine, which had offered the counter bid at Rs 81.60 per share, could only acquire 48,000 shares, sources added. Zuari-UB group holds 38.4 percent in MCFL. "We are in very comfortable position. Zuari and UB group still have edge over Deepak Fertilisers, but takeover battle for MCFL is not over," a top Zuari Group official told PTI. Both open offers were started on October 1 and closed on October 20.
The battle for MCFL between Deepak Fertilisers and Zuari Group was triggered in April 2013 when the latter bought about 10 percent stake in MCFL through open market. Later, Deepak Fertilisers acquired 24.46 percent stake in MCFL in one-go in July 2013. After this, Zuari group had increased its stake to 16.43 percent in the same month. The battle for control of Mangalore Chemicals heated up again after the Competition Commission of India (CCI) cleared an open offer launched by Zuari Group firms on September 4.
The CCI had cleared the open offer of Deepak Fertilisers on August 19. At present, Deepak Fertiliser holds 25.31 percent stake in Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd (MCFL), whereas consortium of Zuari group companies have 16.43 percent stake and Vijay Mallaya's UB group 21.97 percent stake. The Zuari group along with Vijay Mallaya's UB group needs about 12 percent additional stake in MCFL to take control of the company while at the same time Deepak Fertilisers would require another about 25 percent stake in the MCFL. Zuari Agro Chemicals had also entered into an agreement this year to use Mangalore Chemicals's facilities for contract production.
