5 Strengthen its global business Britannia Industries plans to focus on strengthening its international business and expand its brand presence in the consequences of its settlement with Danone on the intellectual property rights (IPR) issue over the `Tiger` brand. The company also expects its dairy business to drive growth for the company. It s challenging for the industry due to the slowdown in GDP growth and failed monsoons in several areas and food shortages. Raising of borrowing limit Britannia Industries is seeking shareholders permission for a proposal to increase its borrowing limit to Rs.20 billion to chase inorganic growth opportunities. The company might need to raise funds if it plans to acquire any large setup. It had an adequate liquidity to maintain and grow its business operations. 5

6 The need to expand its borrowing limit comes as a result of the company`s proposed issue of bonus debentures, which is deemed to be borrowing. Pegged at Rs 4.75 billion (including Rs 690 million dividend distribution tax to be paid by the company), the bonus debenture will carry an 8.5% interest and will be redeemable at the end of the third year. Danone witnesses Rs 3.8 bn capital gain in Britannia divestment Groupe Danone, the global dairy products major based in France, netted a capital gain of Rs 3.8 billion when it recently divested its indirect 25.5% holding in the Bangalore-based biscuit major Britannia Industries.
