Gloster Limited has received the First Motion Order from the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Kolkata Bench, regarding the Scheme of Amalgamation of Gloster Lifestyle Limited and Gloster Specialities Limited with the company. The order, dated May 22, 2026, allows the First Motion Application filed in relation to the scheme. The transferor companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Gloster Limited.
The Hon'ble NCLT has dispensed with the requirement of convening the meetings of the Equity Shareholders of the Applicant Companies. This decision was based on the fact that 100% of the Equity Shareholders of the Applicant Companies had given their consent to the Scheme in writing by way of affidavits. Consequently, no shares of the Transferee Company shall be allotted in lieu of or in exchange of its holding in the Transferor Companies.
The appointed date for the amalgamation is April 1, 2025. The rationale behind the merger is to enable more efficient utilization of capital and assets, thereby strengthening the foundation for future growth. By combining their resources, the merged entity aims to enhance overall efficiency and create greater value for shareholders. There will be no change in the shareholding pattern of the listed entity pursuant to this Scheme of Amalgamation.

Regulatory Compliance and Next Steps

The Applicant Companies are required to serve a notice under Section 230(5) of the Companies Act, 2013, along with all accompanying documents, to various regulatory authorities including the Regional Director, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Registrar of Companies, and the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
