Sundaram Alternate Assets Limited (SAAL) is undergoing a corporate restructuring through the amalgamation of Capitalgate Investment Advisors Private Limited (CGIA). The merger involves consolidating CGIA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAAL, into SAAL.

The process was formally sanctioned by the Office of the Regional Director, Southern Region, Chennai, via an Order dated March 30, 2026. According to the scheme, the Appointed Date and Effective Date for the merger are scheduled for January 1, 2026, and April 17, 2026, respectively.

SAAL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sundaram Asset Management Company Limited (SAMCL), which is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sundaram Finance Limited (SFL).

Financial Details of Amalgamation​

The amalgamation involves CGIA, the transferor company, merging into SAAL, the transferee company. The financial details of both entities are presented below for the Financial Year 2024-25:

Rationale for Consolidation​

The proposed merger aims to rationalize the holding structure by merging the business of CGIA with SAAL. The move is intended to generate several benefits for the combined entity:

• Consolidated Value: To enable the promoters to unlock consolidated value and have direct participation in the management of the combined entity.
• Operational Efficiency: To efficiently merge and pool financial resources, leading to centralized fund management, greater economies of scale, and reduction of administrative overheads.
• Market Positioning: To improve the competitive position and enable greater access to different market segments.
• Integration: To consolidate internal controls and functional integration across various organizational levels, such as finance, HR, and IT, resulting in a more efficient organization.

The merger involves no consideration, as the transaction is between SAAL and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

Scope of Merger and Transfer of Undertaking​

Upon the merger becoming effective, the entire undertaking of CGIA is set to transfer and vest in SAAL as a going concern. This transfer includes all assets, liabilities, reserves, and undertakings of CGIA, which will be recorded in SAAL's books of account at their carrying amount on the Appointed Date, following the "Pooling of Interests method."

Key aspects of the transfer include:

• Assets: All immovable properties (whether freehold or leasehold), movable assets, sundry debts, receivables, investments, and all intellectual property rights of CGIA will be transferred to SAAL.
• Liabilities: All liabilities of CGIA, including secured and unsecured debts and contingent liabilities, will transfer to SAAL.
• Personnel: Staff and employees of CGIA will automatically become employees of SAAL, ensuring continuity of service.
• Business Continuation: SAAL will continue to operate the business and activities of CGIA under the name and style of CGIA until the relevant licenses and approvals are formally transferred and recorded in the name of SAAL.

The amalgamated entity shall consolidate its authorized share capital, with the authorized capital of SAAL increasing accordingly upon the completion of the scheme.
