Highlights
In M&A, the firm advised the target Zywie Ventures, and its founders Aarti Gill and Mihir Gadani, in the sale of a controlling stake to HUL, a listed Indian company. This transaction presented several unique challenges, including a tight deadline for completing deal documents, regulatory obstacles related to the differential pricing structure for payments to the promoters and other existing shareholders, and the need to safeguard the promoters' earnout payments in the years following the initial closing.
In another notable M&A mandate, the firm advised Comic Con India and its promoters, Jatin Varma, and Karan Kalra. Nodwin Gaming, the acquirer purchased all the shares of the promoters, Jatin Varma and Karan Kalra, in the target. Nodwin Gaming paid Jatin and Karan partly in cash and partly in new shares allotted by Nodwin Gaming. Jatin and Karan continue to be engaged as consultants to the target until April 2025. As Nodwin Gaming paid Jatin and Karan partly in cash and partly in new shares allotted by Nodwin Gaming, the transaction structure triggered additional compliances under the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI regulations, which the firm had to evaluate and advise on.
