At last the D’Day came and the decision was taken. 13/04/2009. A new beginning for all the satyamites and Tech Mahindraites. Though from the morning the ball was on the court of L&T Infotech but lastly MBT(Tech Mahindra) manages to win the bid.A Rs.1751 Cr bid by the Mahindra management confirmed 31% stake for them. For the time being it would be in transition and Tech Mahindra would be treating as a Subsidiary like a special purpose vehicle unlit a Rs.2889 Cr deal fetches them a 51% share of the fraud drowned company. It’s basically done on da basis of Rs.58/share. Risks are still plying in the market regarding investors and clients who may or may not lap it up. So any decision made is being kept strictly confidential. Tech Mahindra governing body therefore are not keeping any liabilities on their side. Also no leverage is being entertained. The implied market capital for Satyam would be @Rs.5664Cr. Incidentally both Tech Mahindra(Rs.364.10, 13.31% high) and Satyam’s(Rs.49.35, 1.95% high) share prices showed some positive movement this morning. So it’s a new flag off and ours is to wait and watch. For the employees and the recruited students who are still awaiting their offer letters, it’s a new hope for a new future, keeping their fingers crossed.
