JSW Steel through its subsidiary has completed the acquisition of Asian Color Coated Ispat Ltd (ACCIL) at an expense of Rs 1,550 crore on receipt of the written order of NCLT. The acquisition was completed through its subsidiary Hasaud Steel Ltd (HSL) through a mix of equity and quasi-equity/debt instruments as per the resolution plan.

Payment to creditors of ACCIL

HSL has paid Rs 1476.94 crores to certain financial creditors of ACCIL, towards the assignment of their ACCIL loans. Another Rs 73.06 crore was infused into ACCIL in the form of a loan, for onward payments to operational creditors, workmen / employees, and other financial creditors of ACCIL, in full discharge of JSWSCPL's obligations under the Resolution Plan.

Issue of Equity Shares & Reduction of Capital

With this, HSL has been issued equity shares of ACCIL by way of conversion of the loan of Rs 73.06 crores infused by it, in accordance with the Resolution Plan. Simultaneously, as provided in the Resolution Plan, the existing issued equity share capital of ACCIL comprising of 88,07,76,270 equity shares of face value Rs 10 each held by the existing shareholders are cancelled and extinguished without any payment to the shareholders in accordance with the Resolution Plan.
