1 Control premium in India Ernst & Young LLP July 2017

2 Executive summary Control premium: Concept Control premium is the difference between the pro-rata controlling interest and the pro-rata non-controlling interest. It is therefore quantified as the excess of the price for a controlling stake in the target company being acquired over its publicly traded share price. This study measures the control premium in India over a 15-year period during FY03 FY17. Methodology Conclusions Control premium Control value Open offers between FY03 and FY17 with an offer size exceeding INR 10 million were analyzed. Average of two-week and 26-week prices prior to the public announcement of the offer was considered as the base price. 373 transactions were identified, of which 303 transactions (81%) exhibited above nil control premium. Median control premiums of 31% based on 26W average price and 12% based on 2W average price were observed. The highest premium was observed in the consumer goods sector, while the lowest premium was observed in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) space. The quantum of control premiums was negatively correlated to the equity market movement. 26W premium was broadly in the range of a few global studies. Marketable minority interest value Control premium is the difference between the pro-rata controlling interest and the pro-rata non-controlling interest. It is thus quantified as the excess of the price for a controlling stake in the target company being acquired over its publicly traded share price.

3 Control premium in India: Methodology Control premium in India: Methodology We analysed open offers between FY03 and FY17, each of which had an offer size exceeding INR 10 million*. The companies with infrequent trading in shares for a period of one year prior to the announcement of the offer and companies where consolidation of holdings was the object of the offer were excluded. The average of two-week and 26-week prices prior to the public announcement of the offer was considered as the base price. Base price is a price that is unaffected by the transaction. For developed countries, typically a period ranging from one day to two-month average is considered. In India, where news/rumors of an impending transaction typically float around long before an official announcement, a longer period is suitable. Besides, SEBI regulations stipulate acquirers to look at a longer term average when buying out minority shareholding. 373 transactions were identified, of which 303 transactions (81%) exhibited above nil control premium. *Source Control premium in India 3

Median premiums were considered more representative, as mean premiums were impacted by outliers (offer size weighted premiums were between the median and mean premiums). Premiums based on 26W average prices are higher than 2W average prices. It may confirm the view that information leakages are high in India, or 26W premiums may have been impacted by rising stock markets in India in the past 15 years. 4 Control premium in India
