Takeda May Acquire Lupin's Domestic Formulations Business

Cipla. The deal with Lupin seems more likely as the promoters of the company have shown
interest in selling the domestic formulations business in the recent past. Takeda is Japan's
largest company by sales and is searching for overseas acquisitions as it faces pricing
pressures from its core domestic market and specific threats to future sales with the expiry of
patents on leading products including Actos for diabetes and Prevacid for ulcers. It has more

Foods with another group firm - Sanghavi Foods Pvt Ltd. The product portfolio of company

Wadias To Sell BCL Springs To Japans NHK Spring For Rs 200 cr
Wadia Group firm Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Ltd (BBTCL) is in the final stage of
talks to sell its precision springs business (housed under a division called BCL Springs) to its
overseas technology partner NHK Spring Co. Ltd of Japan for approximately Rs 200 crore. The
auto component unit was set up as a separate company in 1985, in technical collaboration with
NHK Spring Co. Ltd of Japan, to manufacture cold coiled precision springs. It commenced
commercial production in 1987 and over time, expanded its installed capacity from 1,000 mt to
10,000 mt and from one manufacturing facility to two manufacturing units in order to cater to
the growing demands of the Indian automotive components market. In 1992, it was merged intoBBTCL. The company currently deals in 1,400 types of spring and its clientele includes Maruti
Udyog (Zen, Wagon R, Swift, Esteem and Alto), Suzuki Powertrain (new model diesel engines),
TATA Motors (Indigo, Indica, Marina) and Hindustan Motors (Isuzu), among others. As part of
its restructuring exercise to liquidate non-core operations, BBTCL sold its Sunmica unit to
Japans AICA Kogyo Ltd for Rs 100.30 crore. BBTCL is part of the Nusli Wadia Group, which
has diversified business interests across airlines, plantations, foods, textiles, chemicals,
laminates, electronics and light engineering, health care and real estate.
Warren Buffett To Invest $5B In Bank Of America
Warren Buffett will invest $5 billion in Bank of America Corp, stepping in to shore up the largest
US bank in the same way he helped prop up Goldman Sachs and General Electric during the
financial crisis. Trade was so heavy that Bank of America shares made up nearly 13% of the
composite volume for the entire stock market. The stock's rise makes the warrants for Bank of
America shares that Buffett gets in the deal instantly profitable. Even though the bank has said it
did not need to raise capital, investors widely believed it needed more money and to show it
could raise funds easily. Bank of America has been plagued by fears that bad mortgage loans
and legal liabilities from loans packaged into bonds by its Countrywide unit could drag it into
tens of billions of dollars in fresh losses that would stretch its capital. The deal proved again that
Buffett has become something of a lender of last resort to the financial system, as he did with
Goldman and GE. Buffett's role in aiding the economy and the financial system has become
symbolically important, given the lack of policy options left for the U.S. government and theFederal Reserve to stimulate demand.

provide its technical expertise and industry knowledge while SIS will leverage its deep
understanding of the Indian marketplace, along with its extensive infrastructure and customerbase. Terminix, a leading pest control services provider and a division of The ServiceMaster

security and business support services group, with more than 100 offices, 3000 corporate
customers and an associate base of 52,000 people. Three years ago, US-based hedge fund DE
Shaw had bought 14% stake in SIS for around Rs 300 crore ($75 million), valuing the company
at about Rs 2,150 crore ($525 million). In 2008, SIS also made one of the biggest overseas
acquisitions in security services field when it snapped the Australian guarding and patrol
business units of US conglomerate United Technologies Corp in a multi-million dollar
transaction.
Tata Chemicals Raising Stake in Canadas EPM Mining
Tata Chemicals is raising its holding in EPM Mining Ventures Inc. (Canadas TSX Venture
Exchange-listed exploration-stage potash development company) from 15.9% to 30.6%, for an
estimated $41 million. According to the latest deal, a subsidiary of Tata Chemicals will subscribe
to eight million fresh shares and eight million share warrants, convertible into as many shares of
EPM, for a little over $16 million. The warrants are convertible into shares within 12 months of
the share issue at a price of C$2 per share, which should entail a further $16 million in
investment. Simultaneously, Tata Chemicals has also struck a deal with the founding
shareholders of EPM, Lance DAmbrosio and Jeff Gentry, to acquire around 4.37 million shares
at the same price of C$2 per unit. Post-acquisition of shares, subscription to fresh shares andconversion of warrants into equity, Tata Chemicals will own around 30.6%. EPM holds the lease
to mine potash across 95,172 acres of land, as granted by the US government in April this year.
It holds 40% stake in Emerald Peak Mineral that controls 6,409 acres of land, leased from the
State of Utah in the USA. EPMs primary focus is its project on the Sevier Dry Lake in Utah, for
producing sulphate of potash and other beneficial minerals. EPM intends to use the proceeds of
the offering for further evaluation of its properties and for general working capital purposes.
EPM shares were last traded at C$1.7 per unit at the TSX. This means Tata Chemicals is
acquiring shares at 17% premium to the current market price. In May this year, the chemicals
firm of the Tata Group had acquired 15.9% stake in EPM, pursuant to the amalgamation of
Yukon Inc. with EPM. Tata Chemicals, through a subsidiary, had held 16.7 million shares of
Yukon which were acquired for around $11.2 million and post-amalgamation, received as many
shares of EPM.

next two years. Though GVK excercized it's first right of refusal to acquire the stake, it had to
pay a premium of 8.6% over the price of Rs 105 per share paid for L&T's stake as the Tata
Group and Singapore's Changi International Airport offered Rs.144 per share, almost double
than GVK's initial offer of Rs 60 per share. GVK offered Rs.60 per share stating that the 2009
valuations were no longer valid due to change in business conditions.

Sequoia Capital India has picked up an additional 1.46% stake in packaging firm Ess Dee

a share price of Rs 448 per unit. Since then, it has increased its stake to 4.88% as of June,
2011, and is currently the largest institutional shareholder. With the recent dip in the share price
of Ess Dee, Sequoia now seems to be averaging its investment. Ess Dee is headed by first-
generation entrepreneur Sudip Dutta who holds 59-60% stake in the firm. Current investors in
the company include ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Orange Mauritius Investments and
Blackstones India Fund, among others.
Blackstone Buys More Stake In Monnet Ispat For Rs 75 cr

upto $270 mn to expand it's fleet size. The company had ordered 15 Bombardier's at a list price

individual loans payable over 12 years.

have expressed interest in ACE. The company is initially looking to raise up to $5 million but
may opt for a total of $10 million, depending upon the success it meets with its proposed
acquisitions. The stake sale is likely to happen at a price of Rs 65-Rs 70 per share, a premium
of nearly 40% to its current market price, effectively valuing the company at around Rs 700
crore. ACE shares closed at Rs 44.25 per unit. Although the firm had earlier announced itsplans to float a QIP by October end, those are now shelved as it is raising capital via the PE
route. The Haryana-based equipment maker has recently said that it is close to acquiring two
companies one in India and another in China for a total of Rs 120 crore, in order to expand
its product portfolio. ACE also plans to double its capacities during the next three years and
