Executive Summary

4 IIAS

Our Recommendation: AGAINST

We favor the simplified holding structure. However the operational hurdles of VAL (i.e. mining rights) and the

additional debt of VAL and Cairn India (total of Rs. 500 bn) will be transferred to the combined new entity,

without fully resolving issues with regard to mining, resulting in the proposal being detrimental to minority

shareholders of Sesa Goa and Sterlite. Moreover, by transferring VAL to Sesa Sterlite at premium

valuations, the shareholders of VRL gain atleast Rs. 16.4 bn.

Premium Valuation

accorded to VAL

Cancellation of cross holdings between group

companies

Consolidation of VAL, MALCO, Cairn India with Sesa Goa & Sterlite

1. Amalgamation of VAL, MALCO

and Cairn India with Sesa Goa

and Sterlite results in an increase

of 35% in revenues, 28% in PAT

and 400% in debt, mainly due to

the debts of Cairn India and VAL.

2. The mining assets of VAL are

locked in disputes with the

government.

This aspect of the merger is

detrimental to minority

shareholders

1. VAL has accumulated losses of Rs.

20 bn and a gross debt of Rs. 200

bn

2. The premium valuation accorded to

VAL results in Rs. 16.4 bn going

directly to the shareholders of VRL.

This aspect of the merger is

detrimental to minority shareholders of

Sesa Goa and Sterlite

Holdings of MALCO in Sterlite, and Sterlite in VAL are eliminated. This aspect of the

merger is beneficial to minority shareholders.

Proposal summary

7

Vedanta Resources Limited (‘VRL’ or ‘the Vedanta Group’) aims to simplify its holding structure, by way of-

1. Eliminating cross-holdings between group companies.

2. Consolidating VRL’s holdings in Sterlite, Sesa Goa, VAL, MALCO and Cairn India into a single

entity- Sesa Sterlite.

For the amalgamation, Sesa Goa is the ‘transferee’ company and VAL, Sterlite, MALCO and Cairn India are the

‘transferor’ companies.

• The 70.5% stake of VRL in VAL will be transferred to Sesa Goa for a consideration of 72.3 mn shares of Sesa Goa.

Consolidation of VAL

• MALCO will merge with Sesa Goa, with the latter offering 78.7 mn shares as consideration.

Consolidation of MALCO

Impact on VRL

VRL will facilitate easier debt-servicing for its troubled assets by

merging them with cash-generating assets in a single company.

Its risks in VAL and Cairn India are now shared with erstwhile

shareholders of Sesa Goa and Sterlite.

1. VRL’s holding in Cairn India will fall to 34.3% (49.9% - pre

merger)

• Cairn India has a debt of Rs.300.5 bn (including Rs.288 bn

debt taken by VRL for its acquisition)

2. VRL’s holding in VAL post merger falls to 58.3% (87.6% -

pre merger)

• VAL has a debt of Rs.199 bn and cash of Rs.2 bn (including

current investment)

Advantages to VRL

• Merger gives VRL (and VAL) an access to cash surpluses of Sterlite

• Pre restructuring VRL has debt of Rs.482.5 bn (USD 9.6 bn). Post restructuring, this reduces by 61% to

Rs.187.5 bn (USD 3.8 bn) as -

• Rs.139.4 bn (USD 2.8 bn) of debt will be transferred to Sesa Goa

• Rs.155.6 bn (USD 3.1 bn) of debt as intercompany deposits will be cancelled

• VRL’s FY13 interest cost is expected to fall by Rs.15 bn (USD 300 mn) to Rs.9 bn (USD 180 mn)

• Significant extension of debt maturity profile on account of transfer of shorter maturity debt to Sesa Sterlite

Gross debt composition of Sesa Sterlite

IIAS 20

Before the merger, the shareholders of Sesa Goa and

Sterlite do not hold the debt of VAL, MALCO and Cairn

India. Post the merger, they will hold an additional

Rs.500bn debt from these companies.

Pre restructuring, Sesa Goa and Sterlite collectively are

net cash companies. Post the consolidation of VAL,

Cairn India and MALCO, the new entity will have gross

debt of Rs.667 bn.

• VAL and Cairn India will add Rs.500 bn of gross debt

• Sesa Goa and Sterlite shareholders who will be part of

the new entity will see their gross debt/EBITDA

worsen from 1.1x to 2.7x.

• The new entity will have to bear high interest costs.

• Sesa Goa and Sterlite collectively had a net

interest income of Rs. 20 bn.

• The new entity will have a net interest expense of

Rs. 10 bn.

• The new entity carries a much heavier debt burden on

its balance sheet than either Sesa Goa or Sterlite.

VAL – An asset or a liability?

VAL - Poor financial performance (as at 31 March 2012)

VAL reported 18% growth in revenues to Rs.58.3 bn. EBIDTA fell by

21.5% to Rs.5.6 bn on account of increase in cost of production.

The company’s cost of producing aluminum increased to USD

2,188/MT v/s USD 1,940/MT previous year.

Net loss increased to Rs.26.2 bn (Rs.9.6 bn in FY11)

Has accumulated losses of Rs 20 bn (USD 400 mn)

The company will be largely dependent on external funding including

debt and inter corporate deposits to finance its operations.

Financial issues at VAL ( trailing 12 months, 31 December 2011)

VAL’ reported a net loss of Rs 23.5 bn

VAL has a net debt of Rs.197 bn and a debt/EBIDTA of 39.6x.

It has a poor interest coverage ratio of 0.2x.

VAL interest obligations stand at Rs.20.3 bn v/s EBIDTA at Rs.5 bn

Given the operational losses at VAL, the debt will be serviced from

Sesa Goa and Sterlite’s operations.

Despite this, the company has assigned an equity value of 4.7 times

its EBIDTA, in line with Sesa Goa and greater than Sterlite (4.3x

EBITDA) (pre-restructuring on trailing 12 months, 31 Dec 2011 basis)

The company is not expected to be profitable at least for the next

couple of years.

Operational issues at VAL

IIAS 22

In August 2010, MOEF denied forest clearance for the Niyamgiri Mines to Orissa

Mining Corporation. This being one of the prime source to supply bauxite to VAL.

In July 2011 environmental clearance granted to Orissa Mining Corporation (OMC)

was cancelled by MOEF

The company has filed an application in the Supreme court against the above order of

the MOEF. The supreme court judgment on this is awaited.

This has resulted in the production cost increasing to ~USD 2,100 per ton vis-à-vis

USD 1,600 per ton (if captive bauxite through OMC was available).

Impact of paying premium valuation for VAL

IIAS 23

1. Sesa Goa proposes to buy the 70.5 % stake of VRL in VAL by offering 72.3 mn of its own shares, valuing VAL at Rs. 23.3 bn.

2. However, VAL has accumulated losses of Rs. 20 bn and a gross debt of Rs. 200 bn.

3. Hence the consideration for buying VAL should have been nil, as in case of Cairn India.

4. By buying their own stake in VAL at a premium valuation using shares of Sesa Goa, the shareholders of VRL are increasing

their stake in the new entity.

• The valuation of 72.3 mn shares at Sesa Goa’s price of Rs 227 on 25 Feb 2012, effective date, works out to Rs 16.4 bn.

5. Every reduction of Rs. 10 bn in the equity value of VAL, reduces VRLs holding in the new entity by 0.6%.

AGAINST

IIAS 24

We recommend voting AGAINST the resolution, on

account of the following

High transfer of debt to the new entity

The leverage of the new entity will be high as

compared to Sesa Goa and Sterlite pre merger,

thereby making the deal unfavorable for Sesa Goa

and Sterlite shareholders.

Premium valuation accorded to VAL

Despite the higher debt and operational losses at

VAL, it is assigned an equity value of 4.7 times its

EBIDTA. This is in line with Sesa Goa and higher

than for Sterlite (4.3x).

Operational hurdles in VAL

VAL’s mining assets are locked in disputes and

litigations with the Indian government. According to

us, the consolidation of VAL with Sesa Goa and

Sterlite would be favorable to minority shareholders

after the necessary clearances and mining approvals

have been obtained.

IiAS recommendation AGAINST

The proposed amalgamation will achieve

two things:

1. A simplified group structure.

2. Creation of a natural resources

conglomerate with a mix of cash-

generating and troubled assets.

While we are in favor of the new holding

structure, we believe that the operational

hurdles of VAL and the additional debt of

VAL and Cairn India would be a burden on

Sesa Goa and Sterlite.

This makes the proposal detrimental to

minority shareholders of both the

companies.

The proposal would have been beneficial

for the minority shareholders had the

necessary clearances for VAL been

obtained from the Indian government.
