Fund Deployment in Subsidiaries

The monitoring agency noted that the company has parked part of the unutilized proceeds in its subsidiaries' and step-down subsidiaries' current accounts. This practice is not explicitly allowed under the offer document, although the Board had passed resolutions in May 2024, and members approved modifications in an extraordinary general meeting in July 2024 to allow fund utilization in subsidiaries for working capital requirements.

No Timeline Delays

The report indicates no delays in the implementation of the stated objectives, as no specific timelines were mentioned in the offer document.

Corporate Actions

The company also announced that the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, has sanctioned the Scheme of Arrangement between EFC Limited (Transferee Company) and Whitehills Interior Limited (Transferor Company), and their respective shareholders and creditors.

While the fund utilization appears to be progressing as planned, investors should note the company's practice of parking funds in subsidiaries' accounts and monitor future developments closely.
