To elaborate this point further, the fair value per share is determined so as to calculate what should be the suggested merger ratio. We would further like to emphasis that in the case of merger, the Supreme Court has laid down an elaborate formula which was determined in the case of Hindustan Lever Ltd. Vs. Hindustan Lever Employees Union (1994) which has been followed over here and this formula takes into account the earning per share, NAV and the market price of both the companies and gives a price per share for both the companies based upon which the SWAP Ratio is to be determined. To further state in clear and precise terms this formula does not attempt to determine the fair value of an entity on a standalone basis but to determine a value to arrive a possible SWAP Ratio with the other targeted merged entity. 5.

Since the Transferor Company is being dissolved, the shareholders of the Transferor Company would become of the shareholders of the Transferee Company in the above ratio of 100:53. As the Transferor Company has 99.98% shareholdings in the Transferee Company, the said entire 99.98% shares would be allotted to the shareholders of the transferor company. If the contention and calculation of the Regional Director were to be accepted, the shareholders of the transferor company at the ratio of 100:53 would still have approximately 99.96% shareholding in the Transferee Company.
