INTRODUCTION
We have been learning about the companies coming together to from another
company and companies taking over the existing companies to expand their
business. With recession taking toll of many Indian businesses and the feeling of
insecurity surging over our businessmen, it is not surprising when we hear about
the immense numbers of corporate restructurings taking place, especially in the last
couple of years. Several companies have been taken over and several have
undergone internal restructuring, whereas certain companies in the same field of
business have found it beneficial to merge together into one company. In this
context, it would be essential for us to understand what corporate restructuring and
mergers and acquisitions are all about.
All our daily newspapers are filled with cases of mergers, acquisitions, spin- offs,
tender offers, & other forms of corporate restructuring. Thus important issues both
for business decision and public policy formulation have been raised. No firm is
regarded safe from a takeover possibility. On the more positive side Mergers &
3
Acquisition’s may be critical for the healthy expansion and growth of the firm.
Successful entry into new product and geographical markets may require Mergers
& Acquisition’s at some stage in the firm's development. Successful competition in
international markets may depend on capabilities obtained in a timely and efficient
fashion through Mergers & Acquisition's. Many have argued that mergers increase
value and efficiency and move resources to their highest and best uses, thereby
increasing shareholder value. Opt for a merger or not is a complex affair,
especially in terms of the technicalities involved. We have discussed almost all
factors that the management may have to look into Before going for merger.
Considerable amount of brainstorming would be required by the managements to
reach a conclusion. E.g. A due diligence report would clearly identify the status of
the company in respect of the financial position along with the net worth and
pending legal matters and details about various contingent liabilities. Decision has to
be taken after having discussed the pros & cons of the proposed merger & the
impact of the same on the business, administrative costs benefits, addition to
shareholders' value, tax implications including stamp duty and last but not the least
also on the employees of the Transferor or Transferee Company.

Purpose of Mergers & Consolidation
The purpose for an offer or company for acquiring another company shall be
reflected in the corporate objectives. It has to decide the specific objectives to
be achieved through acquisition. The basic purpose of merger or business
combination is to achieve faster growth of the corporate business. Faster growth
may be had through product improvement and competitive position.
Other possible purposes for acquisition are short listed below: -
1) Procurement of supplies:
GGITM,BHOPAL - 13 -
(3) Market expansion and strategy:
1. To improve its own image and attract superior managerial talents to manage
its affairs;
2. To offer better satisfaction to consumers or users of the product.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 14 -
(6) Own developmental plans
7) Strategic purpose
The Acquirer Company view the merger to achieve strategic objectives through
alternative type of combinations which may be horizontal, vertical, product
expansion, market extensional or other specified unrelated objectives depending
upon the corporate strategies. Thus, various types of combinations distinct with
each other in nature are adopted to pursue this objective like vertical or
horizontal combination.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 15 -
8) Corporate friendliness:
Mergers and acquisition are pursued to obtain the desired level of integration
between the two combining business houses. Such integration could be
operational or financial. This gives birth to conglomerate combinations. The
purpose and the requirements of the offered company go a long way in selecting
a suitable partner for merger or acquisition in business combinations. Other to
achieve performance heights through business combinations. The combining
corporate aim at circular combinations by pursuing this objective.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 16 -
Types of Merger
Merger or acquisition depends upon the purpose of the offeror company it wants
to achieve. Based on the offerors’ objectives profile, combinations could be
vertical, horizontal, circular and conglomeratic as precisely described below
with reference to the purpose in view of the offeror company.
A company would like to takeover another company or seek its merger with that
company to expand espousing backward integration to assimilate the resources
of supply and forward integration towards market outlets. The acquiring
company through merger of another unit attempts on reduction of inventories of
raw material and finished goods, implements its production plans as per the
objectives and economizes on working capital investments. In other words, in
vertical combinations, the merging undertaking would be either a supplier or a
buyer using its product as intermediary material for final production.
The following main benefits accrue from the vertical combination to the
acquirer company i.e.
1. It gains a strong position because of imperfect market of the intermediary
products, scarcity of resources and purchased products;
2. Has control over products specifications.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 17 -
It is a merger of two competing firms which are at the same stage of industrial
process. The acquiring firm belongs to the same industry as the target company.
The mail purpose of such mergers is to obtain economies of scale in production
by eliminating duplication of facilities and the operations and broadening the
product line, reduction in investment in working capital, elimination in
competition concentration in product, reduction in advertising costs, increase in
market segments and exercise better control on market.
C) Circular combination:
GGITM,BHOPAL - 18 -
Mergers and takeovers are permanent form of combinations which vest in
management complete control and provide centralized administration which are
not available in combinations of holding company and its partly owned
subsidiary. Shareholders in the selling company gain from the merger and
takeovers as the premium offered to induce acceptance of the merger or
takeover offers much more price than the book value of shares. Shareholders in
the buying company gain in the long run with the growth of the company not
only due to synergy but also due to “boots trapping earnings”.
Mergers and acquisitions are caused with the support of shareholders,
manager’s ad promoters of the combing companies. The factors, which motivate
the shareholders and managers to lend support to these combinations and the
resultant consequences they have to bear, are briefly noted below based on the
research work by various scholars globally.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 19 -
(e) Better investment opportunity in combinations. One or more features would
generally be available in each merger where shareholders may have attraction
and favors merger.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 20 -
(a) Consumers
The economic gains realized from mergers are passed on to consumers in the
form of lower prices and better quality of the product which directly raise their
standard of living and quality of life. The balance of benefits in favour of
consumers will depend upon the fact whether or not the mergers increase or
decrease competitive economic and productive activity which directly affects
the degree of welfare of the consumers through changes in price level, quality of
products, after sales service, etc.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 21 -
Mergers result into centralized concentration of power. Economic power is to be
understood as the ability to control prices and industries output as monopolists.
Such monopolists affect social and political environment to tilt everything in
their favors to maintain their power ad expand their business empire. These
advances result into economic exploitation. But in a free economy a monopolist
does not stay for a longer period as other companies enter into the field to reap
the benefits of higher prices set in by the monopolist. This enforces competition
in the market as consumers are free to substitute the alternative products.
Therefore, it is difficult to generalize that mergers affect the welfare of general
public adversely or favorably. Every merger of two or more companies has to
be viewed from different angles in the business practices which protects the
interest of the shareholders in the merging company and also serves the national
purpose to add to the welfare of the employees, consumers and does not create
hindrance in administration of the Government polices

➢ The procedure for merger either voluntary or otherwise is outlined in the
respective state statutes/ the Banking regulation Act. The Registrars, being the
authorities vested with the responsibility of administering the Acts, will be
ensuring that the due process prescribed in the Statutes has been complied with
before they seek the approval of the RBI. They would also be ensuring
compliance with the statutory procedures for notifying the amalgamation after
obtaining the sanction of the RBI.
➢ Before deciding on the merger, the authorized officials of the acquiring bank
and the merging bank sit together and discuss the procedural modalities and
financial terms. After the conclusion of the discussions, a scheme is prepared
incorporating therein the all the details of both the banks and the area terms and
conditions.
➢ After the Board approval of the merger proposal, an extra ordinary general
meeting of the shareholders of the respective banks is convened to discuss the

of its share capital, market capital, assets and liabilities, its reach and anticipated
growth and sends its report to the respective banks.
➢ Once the valuation is accepted by the respective banks , they send the
proposal along with all relevant documents such as Board approval,
shareholders approval, valuation report etc to Reserve Bank of India and other
regulatory bodies such Security & exchange board of India(SEBI) for their

➢ With a view to facilitating consolidation and emergence of strong entities
and providing an avenue for non disruptive exit of weak/unviable entities in the
banking sector, it has been decided to frame guidelines to encourage
merger/amalgamation in the sector
.
➢ Although the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (AACS) does not empower
Reserve Bank to formulate a scheme with regard to merger and amalgamation
of banks, the State Governments have incorporated in their respective Acts a
provision for obtaining prior sanction in writing, of RBI for an order, inter alia,
for sanctioning a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction.
➢ The request for merger can emanate from banks registered under the same
State Act or from banks registered under the Multi State Co-operative Societies
Act (Central Act) for takeover of a bank/s registered under State Act. over of a
co-operative bank registered under the State Act by a co-operative bank
registered under the CENTRAL
➢ Although there are no specific provisions in the State Acts or the Central Act
for the merger of a co-operative society under the State Acts with that under the
Central Act, it is felt that, if all concerned including administrators of the
concerned Acts are agreeable to order merger/ amalgamation, RBI may consider
proposals on merits leaving the question of compliance with relevant statutes to
the administrators of the Acts. In other words, Reserve Bank will confine its
examination only to financial aspects and to the interests of depositors as well
as the stability of the financial system while considering such proposals

MERGER OF ICICI BANK WITH
ICICI.LTD
GGITM,BHOPAL - 34 -
ICICI Bank and ICICI, along with other ICICI group companies, were operating
as a “virtual universal bank”, offering a wide range of financial products and
services. The merger of ICICI and two of its subsidiaries with ICICI Bank has
combined two organizations with complementary strengths and products and
similar processes and operating architecture. The merger has combined the large
capital base of ICICI with the strong deposit raising capability of ICICI Bank,
giving ICICI Bank improved ability to increase its market share in banking fees
and commissions, while lowering the overall cost of funding through access to
lower-cost retail deposits. ICICI Bank would now be able to fully leverage the
strong corporate relationships that ICICI has built, seamlessly providing the
whole range of financial products and services to corporate clients. The merger
has also resulted in the integration of the retail finance operations of ICICI, and
its two merging subsidiaries, and ICICI Bank into one entity, creating an
optimal structure for the retail business and allowing the full range of asset and
liability products to be offered to all retail customers.
The share exchange ratio approved for the merger was one fully paid-up equity
share of ICICI Bank for two fully paid-up equity shares of ICICI. This was
determined on the basis of a comprehensive valuation process incorporating
international best practices, carried out by two separate financial advisors and
an independent accounting firm. The equity shares of ICICI Bank held by ICICI
have not been cancelled in the merger. In accordance with the provisions of the
Scheme of Amalgamation, these shares have been transferred to a Trust to be
divested by appropriate placement. The proceeds of such divestment would
accrue to the merged entity. With the merger taking effect, the paid-up share
capital of the Bank has increased to Rs. 6.13 billion, comprising 613 million
shares of Rs.10 each.
The merger process was complex and posed significant challenges. The merger
of a financial institution with a commercial bank to create the country’s first
GGITM,BHOPAL - 35 -
universal bank had significant implications for the entire financial system. It
therefore involved extensive dialogue with the Government and Reserve Bank
of India. The merger also posed the challenge of compliance with regulatory
norms applicable to banks in respect of ICICI’s assets and liabilities,
particularly the reserve requirements. This required resources of about Rs.
210.00 billion to be raised in less than six months for investment in Government
securities and cash reserves, in addition to normal resource mobilization for
ongoing business requirements. We leveraged our strong retail franchise,
including the distribution network acquired in the merger of the erstwhile Bank
of Madura Limited with ICICI Bank in fiscal 2001, to grow our retail deposit
base. We also achieved significant success in securitizing loans and developing
a market for securitized debt in India. We also adopted proactive strategies to
minimize the duration of our Government securities portfolio, in order to
mitigate the interest-rate risk arising from the acquisition of a portfolio of about
Rs. 180.00 billion in five months.
As both ICICI and ICICI Bank were listed in Indian and US markets, effective
communication to a wide range of investors was a critical part of the merger
process. It was equally important to communicate the rationale for the merger to
international and domestic institutional lenders and to rating agencies. The
merger process was required to satisfy legal and regulatory procedures in India
as well as to comply with United States Securities and Exchange Commission
requirements under US securities laws.The merger of India’s largest financial
institution with its largest private sector bank alsoinvolved significant
accounting complexities. In accordance with best practices in accounting, the
merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting under
Indian GAAP. Consequently, ICICI’s assets have been fair-valued for their
incorporation in the books of accounts. The fair value of ICICI’s loan portfolio
was determined by an independent valuer, while ICICI’s equity and related
investment portfolio was fair-valued by determining its markto- market value.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 36 -
The total additional provisions & write-offs required to reflect the fair values of
ICICI’s assets determined at Rs. 37.80 billion have de-risked the loan and
investment portfolio and created a significant cushion in the balance sheet,
while maintaining healthy levels of capital adequacy. The merger was approved
by the shareholders of both companies in January 2002, by the High Court of
Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at
Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in April 2002. The challenge of
mobilization of resources for compliance with statutory reserve requirements
applicable to banks, on ICICI’s outstanding liabilities on merger, was met
successfully within the target date of March 30, 2002. While the merger became
effective on May 3, 2002, in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme of
Amalgamation and the terms of approval of RBI, the Appointed Date for the
merger was March 30, 2002.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 37 -
Boards of ICICI and ICICI Bank Approve Merger.
The Board of Directors of ICICI Limited (NYSE:IC) and the Board of Directors
of ICICI Bank Limited (NYSE:IBN) in separate meetings at Mumbai, approved
the merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank.
The share exchange ratio approved by the Boards of the two entities was based
on a valuation process incorporating international best practices in respect of a
merger of two affiliate companies. JM Morgan Stanley was appointed by ICICI
to advise it on a fair exchange ratio, while ICICI Bank appointed DSP Merrill
GGITM,BHOPAL - 38 -
Lynch for the same purpose. Thereafter, ICICI and ICICI Bank jointly
appointed the leading accounting firm, Deloitte, Haskins & Sells to recommend
the final share exchange ratio to the Boards of the two entities. The share
exchange ratio has been determined in accordance with best practices in
valuation, using the relative market prices, discounted cash flows and book
values. Davis Polk & Wardwell are the international legal counsel and
Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff & Co. are the domestic legal
counsel for the merger.
The Scheme will be filed before the High Courts of Mumbai and Gujarat and
subsequently placed for approval at the meetings of shareholders of the
respective companies. ICICI and ICICI Bank have submitted to RBI the
proposal for the merger and compliance with regulatory norms applicable to
banks, and would adhere to RBI's decision in the matter.
The merged entity would be the second largest bank in India with total assets of
about Rs. 95,000 crore (proforma at September 30, 2001), 396 existing
branches/ extension counters of ICICI Bank, 140 existing retail finance offices
and centres of ICICI, and 8,275 employees. The merged entity would leverage
on its large capital base, comprehensive suite of products and services,
extensive corporate and retail customer relationships, technology-enabled
distribution architecture, strong brand franchise and vast talent pool. The retail
segment will be a key driver of growth for the merged entity, with respect to
both assets and liabilities. The merged entity's competitive edge in the financial
system is reflected in the combined cost-to-income ratio of 27 per cent
(proforma for the half-year ended September 30, 2001), which compares
favourably with that of other Indian banks of comparable size and scale of
operations.
GGITM,BHOPAL - 39 -
entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based
income and the ability to participate in the payments system and provide
transaction-banking services. The merger would enhance value for shareholders
of ICICI Bank through the large capital base and scale of operations, access to
ICICI's strong corporate relationships built up over five decades, entry into new
business segments, higher market share in various business segments,
particularly fee-based services, and access to the vast talent pool of ICICI and
its subsidiaries. The process of integration between ICICI Bank and ICICI is
expected to be smooth due to the strong synergies between the two entities.
Consequent to the merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank, the Board of Directors of
ICICI Bank is proposed to be reconstituted in compliance with the Banking
Regulation Act, 1949 and in accordance with best practices in corporate
governance. It is proposed that the Board of Directors of the merged entity
would be headed by Mr. N. Vaghul as the non-executive Chairman. The
executive management at the Board level would comprise Mr. K. V. Kamath as
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. H. N. Sinor and Mrs.
Lalita D. Gupte as Joint Managing Directors and Mrs. Kalpana Morparia, Mr. S.
Mukherji, Mrs. Chanda D. Kochhar and Dr. Nachiket M. MOR as Executive
Directors. The executive management at the Board level would not constitute
more than one-half of the total strength of the Board.
ICICI currently holds 46% of the paid-up equity share capital of ICICI Bank.
This holding would not be cancelled under the scheme of amalgamation. It is
proposed to be held in trust for the benefit of the merged entity, and divested
through appropriate placement in fiscal 2003. The proceeds from the divestment
will accrue to the merged entity.
At the time of the merger, ICICI Bank would align the Indian GAAP accounting
policies of ICICI to those of ICICI Bank, including a higher general provision
against standard assets. Further, in accordance with international best practices
GGITM,BHOPAL - 40 -
in accounting, ICICI Bank has decided to adopt the "purchase method" of
accounting, which is mandatory under US GAAP, to account for the merger
under Indian GAAP as well. ICICI's assets and liabilities will therefore be fair
valued for the purpose of incorporation in the accounts of ICICI Bank on the
Appointed Date.
Full compliance with the prudential norms applicable to banks on all of ICICI's
existing liabilities is likely to have some adverse impact on the overall
profitability of both entities in fiscal 2002.
In 1998, ICICI had set up the Special Asset Management Group for focus on
recovery and resolution of credit exposures, where the operations of the
borrower companies had been adversely impacted due to systemic or other
factors. This initiative has yielded significant benefits, due to the creation of a
focused team of professionals and development of the specialized skill sets
essential for asset resolution. ICICI is exploring several options for the creation
of an asset reconstruction company, which would own and manage non-
performing loans. ICICI proposes to work actively with the Government of
India, RBI and other institutions and banks to create an enabling framework for
an industry-wide mechanism that would maximize the economic value of
distressed assets in the financial system.

Retail Banking
The retail business is the key driver of ICICI Bank’s growth strategy, with the
objective of diversifying the asset portfolio and building a low-cost stable
resource base. With a complete product suite across both asset and liability
products as well as a wide range of banking services, ICICI Bank is today a
retail financial supermarket with the ability to cross-sell the entire range of
credit and investment products and other banking services to our customers. The
key dimensions of our retail strategy are products, channels and processes,
under a strong customer focus. Changing demographics and the trend towards
upward migration in income levels coupled with existing low retail credit
penetration levels have created a major growth opportunity in retail finance.
ICICI Bank’s retail assets business is capitalizing on this opportunity with a
competitive positioning and strategy comprising innovative products, wide
distribution, strong credit controls and high customer service standards and
rapidly growing volumes in each segment to achieve economies of scale. ICICI
Bank’s retail portfolio (including the portfolio of ICICI Home Finance
Company Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary) at March 31, 2002 was over
Rs. 76.00 billion, as compared to the combined retail portfolio of ICICI and
ICICI Bank of about Rs. 29.00 billion at March 31, 2001. Our retail asset
products include mortgages, automobile and two-wheeler loans, commercial
vehicles and construction equipment financing, consumer durable loans,
personal loans and credit cards.
In the mortgages business, we expanded our reach to more than 140 locations
across the country. We were the first to introduce adjustable rate home loans,
with interest rates linked to a floating prime lending rate. This product received
GGITM,BHOPAL - 43 -
excellent response from customers cross the country and was a key driver of
growth in the mortgages segment. It also enabled us to price loans competitively
and achieve better asset-liability management. Other products and product
variants introduced this year included loans against existing property as well as
several value-added features – retail property services and home insurance
policies bundled with the loan. During fiscal 2002 we emerged as a leading
player in the mortgages business.
During fiscal 2002 we consolidated our position as clear market leaders in
automobile loans. We expanded our distribution network to 145 cities and
towns across the country. The key drivers of growth were the strength of our
corporate relationships with leading automobile manufacturers, strong
distribution capability and customer service focus. We rapidly increased our
presence in other segments as well. We expanded our two-wheeler business to
over 140 locations. ICICI Bank partners manufacturers in distributing their
products and therefore enjoys preferred status with them. We were able to offer
competitive products to our customers by leveraging economies of scale
resulting from the rapid growth in operations. In the credit cards business we
expanded our distribution to 36 locations. The total number of cards in force
increased by 450,000 to about 650,000 at the end of fiscal 2002. During the year
we launched two co-branded cards, with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation
Limited (HPCL) and BPL Mobile respectively. We also entered the merchant
acquiring business during the year. ICICI Bank is the largest incremental issuer
of cards (including both debit and credit cards) in India. ICICI Bank’s “Ncash”
debit card is a deposit access product that allows cash withdrawals through
ATMs and also enables purchases at merchant establishments with point-of-sale
terminals. The card is valid internationally and earns loyalty points on usage.
Wealso introduced a domestic debit card variant primarily for our payroll
customers. As at March, 31, 2002, ICICI Bank had issued about 600,000 debit
GGITM,BHOPAL - 44 -
cards. During fiscal 2002, ICICI Bank also implemented two smart card
projects, at a corporate worksite and an educational institution.
In order to reduce our funding cost and create a stable funding base, we
continued our focus on retail deposits in fiscal 2002. The number of customer
accounts increased from 3.2 millionto over 5 million. ICICI Bank’s life stage
segmentation strategy offering differentiated liability products to various
categories of customers (kid-e-bank for children, bank@campus for students,
Power Pay for salaried employees, ICICI Select for high net worth individuals
and Business Multiplier for businessmen) contributed significantly to the rapid
growth in the retail ability base. They have developed a successful third party
distribution model with a growing market share in distribution of mutual funds,
Reserve Bank of India relief bonds and insurance products
.
This allows us to meet all customer needs through products that are
complementary to those that we offer directly, while leveraging our distribution
capability to earn fee income from third parties. They also provide online
trading facilities through www.ICICIdirect.com. ICICI direct provides complete
end-to-end integration for seamless electronic trading on the stock exchanges
and has been rated “TxA1” by CRISIL, indicating highest ability to service
broking transactions. ICICI direct has also launched India’s first Digitally
Signed Contract Notes (DSCN), which allows a customer to view and print their
contract notes online. ICICI Bank has pioneered a multi-channel distribution
strategy in India, giving our customers24x7 access to banking services. The
enhanced convenience that this offers the customer has supported our customer
acquisition efforts and migration of customer transactions from branches to
lower-cost technology-enabled channels. During the year, ICICI Bank
continued to expand its non-branch channels aggressively and successfully
migrated customer transaction volumes to these channels. Only 35% of
customer induced transactions now take place at branches. ICICI Bank set up
GGITM,BHOPAL - 45 -
over 500 new ATMs during fiscal 2002, taking the ATM network to over 1,000
ATMs. Master, Cirrus and Maestro cards can now be used on all our ATMs.
Other new initiatives on ATMs include multilingual screens, bill payments and
prepaid mobile card recharge facility.
ICICI Bank now has over one million retail Internet banking accounts. Retail
Internet banking customers can view their bank accounts, transfer funds
between their own accounts and to any other ICICI Bank account. ICICI Bank
also offers the facility of transferring funds to accounts in any branch of any

CORPORATE STRATEGY
These relationships to expand the range of services that it offers to them. ICICI
Bank has also established relationships with several state governments, having
financed state-level enterprises. Besides, ICICI Bank has been empanelled in
eight states for collection of sales tax. ICICI Bank is also involved with several
other state government initiatives. In the corporate client segment, ICICI Bank
is focusing on increasing its share of banking business with its corporate clients.
In the emerging corporate segment, ICICI Bank’s focus is on establishing
structured financing arrangements and implementing a liability-led business
strategy, providing sophisticated banking services to its clients. ICICI Bank has
also developed several innovative structures for agri-business, including dairy
farming. ICICI Bank is working with state governments and agri-based
corporate to evolve viable and sustainable systems for financing agriculture.
ICICI Bank’s dedicated Structured Products & Portfolio Management Group,
with access to expertise in financial structuring and related legal, accounting
and tax issues, actively supports the business groups in designing financial
products and solutions. This Group is also responsible for managing the asset
GGITM,BHOPAL - 48 -
portfolio by structuring portfolio buyouts and sell-downs. The enhanced capital
base consequent to the merger will significantly increase ICICI Bank’s ability to
leverage its strong corporate relationships and provide non-fund-based facilities
and trade finance services to its corporate clients. ICICI Bank is leveraging
technology to set up centralized processing facilities to process large transaction
volumes, thereby benefiting from economies of scale. A dedicated Corporate
Operations & Technology Group has been set up for developing and managing
back-office processing and delivery capabilities.
Treasury
During fiscal 2002, the focus was on the challenge of meeting regulatory
reserve requirements on ICICI’s liabilities prior to the merger for meeting the
reserve requirements and managing the interest-rate risk arising from the
acquisition of Government securities aggregating about Rs. 180.00 billion in an
environment of low interest rates. Yields on Government securities reached
historic lows during 2001-2002 as a consequence of the easy liquidity
environment and RBI’s soft-interest-rate policy. To minimize the risk of
adverse mark-to-market impact on any rise in interest rates, ICICI Bank adopted
GGITM,BHOPAL - 49 -
a strategy of acquiring securities of lower duration. A significant portion of the
requirement of Government securities was acquired through active participation
in primary auctions of floating-rate bonds and short-maturity Treasury bills.
\Prior to the merger, in addition to its resource mobilization from the wholesale
segment, ICICI had raised a foreign currency loan of USD 75 million at LIBOR
+ 70 basis points, setting a new benchmark for a five-year borrowing by an
Indian entity in the international markets after the Asian currency crisis. ICICI
had also borrowed USD 50 million from Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (KfW),
a German financial institution, for twelve-and-a-half years.
This was the first borrowing by ICICI from KfW without a Government of
India guarantee. ICICI also entered into an agreement with Asian Development
Bank (ADB) for availing a 25-year USD 80 million loan for housing finance,
and with DEG, Germany for an 8-year USD 25 million loan. The focus of
trading operations was active, broad-based market-making in key markets
including corporate bonds, Government securities and interest-rate swap
markets. Substantial reduction in interest rates provided an opportunity to
capture gains in the fixed-income market by active churning of the trading
portfolio.
ICICI BANK project finance activities include financing new projects as well as
capacity additions in the manufacturing sector and structured finance to the
infrastructure and oil, gas and petrochemicals sectors. Over the years, we have
developed considerable expertise in financing complex project finance
transactions and effectively allocating the associated risks. Our presence has
been viewed by most sponsors as critical to the success of their projects, on
account of our proficiency in developing enforceable contract models,
GGITM,BHOPAL - 50 -
syndicating requisite funds and working out complex issues related to
Government regulations. Our project finance business is focused on structuring
and syndication of financing for large projects by leveraging our expertise in
project financing, and churning our project finance portfolio to prevent portfolio
concentration and to manage portfolio risk. We view our role not only as
providers of project finance but as arrangers and facilitators, creating
appropriate financing structures that may serve as financing and investment
vehicles for a wider range of market participants.
Infrastructure Sector
The infrastructure sector has not witnessed the anticipated growth, mainly due
to policy-levelis sues and delay in closure of various projects. While there were
few opportunities in the power sector, the telecom and road sectors witnessed
considerable activity. Guarantees to Department of Telecommunications on
behalf of various telecom companies for basic, cellular and national and
international long-distance licenses presented a significant non-fund based
business opportunity. We have also capitalized on opportunities in the road
sector, in both annuity and toll-based projects, including lead arranger mandates
for four road projects of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). The
pace of growth in the road sector is expected to increase both due to NHAI’s
National Highway Development Programme and the larger state-level projects.
Going forward, we expect ports and urban infrastructure sectors, in addition to
telecom and roads, to provide significant business opportunities.
Corporatization has already been initiated for five out of twelve major ports.
Ports would also require significant expansion and modernization of facilities.
We were appointed lead arrangers for a chemical port terminal project. The
power sector is also expected to pick up with opportunities in the privatization
GGITM,BHOPAL - 51 -
of distribution, financial closure of select private projects with competitive
tariffs, capacity additions in the public sector and its own reform and
restructuring. We provided advisory services to the Ministry of Power,
developing a comprehensive blueprint for private sector participation in
hydropower. The Managing Director & CEO was a member of the Distribution
Policy committee which submitted a report improving efficiency in power
distribution in the country.
Manufacturing Sector
Fiscal 2002 saw few new projects in the manufacturing sector on account of
lower economic growth and existing over-capacities in several commodities.
Our focus in this sector is on projects sponsored by entities that have proven
ability to commit the required financial resources and implement projects
successfully within planned time-frames. We are also implementing tighter
security measures, such as security interests in project contracts and escrow
accounts to capture cash flows. We also believe that there is significant scope
for consolidation in several segments in the manufacturing sector, which
presents opportunities for structuring and syndicating acquisition financing.
Liberalization and integration with the global economy have posed major
competitive challenges for Indian industry. Cyclical downturns in commodity
demand and prices have adversely affected the performance of several sectors.
This has impacted asset quality in the financial system. ICICI Bank’s efforts at
asset resolution are driven by the Special Assets Management Group (SAMG),
set up to manage large non-performing loans and large accounts under watch
GGITM,BHOPAL - 52 -
that require close monitoring. In case of exposures to essentially viable
companies. SAMG’s approach includes operational and financial restructuring,
completion of projects under implementation, sale of unproductive assets and
catalyzing consolidation. In respect of exposures to unviable and essentially
uneconomical projects, we adopt an aggressive approach aimed at out-of-court
settlements, enforcing collateral and driving consolidation. The accent is on
time-value of recovery and a pragmatic approach towards settlements. During
fiscal 2002, SAMG was strengthened by the induction of some of our highest-
rated performers into the group.

the Asian currency crisis. ICICI had also borrowed USD 50 million from
Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (KfW), a German financial institution, for
twelve-and-a-half years. This was the first borrowing by ICICI from KfW
without a Government of India guarantee. ICICI also entered into an agreement
with Asian Development Bank (ADB) for availing a 25-year USD 80 million

making in key markets including corporate bonds, Government securities and
interest-rate swap markets. Substantial reduction in interest rates provided an
opportunity to capture gains in the fixed income market by active churning of
the trading portfolio.
CREDIT RATING
During the year, ICICI became the first Indian company to be rated higher than
the sovereign rating for India by Moody’s Investor Service, when its senior and
subordinated long term foreign currency debt was rated Ba1 i.e. one notch
above the sovereign rating for India. The same rating has been assigned to
ICICI Bank post-merger. ICICI Bank’s credit ratings as per various credit rating
agencies (including ratings assigned to debt instruments issued by ICICI now
transferred to ICICI Bank on merger) are given below:

HUMAN RESOURCES
GGITM,BHOPAL - 54 -
ICICI Bank views its human capital as a key source of competitive advantage.
Consequently the development and management of human capital is an essential
element of our strategy and a key management activity .Human resources
management in fiscal 2002 focused on smooth integration of the employee sand
human resource management systems in the context of the merger, as well as on
continuous improvement of recruitment, training and performance management
processes. The process of integration involved defining the organizational
structure of the merged entity people placement in various positions across the
business and corporate groups, and integration of the grade and remuneration
structure for the employees of the four entities. The organizational structure was
announced in February 2002 and became effective on May 3, 2002. The people
placement process was based on appropriate competency profiling tools and
matching employee profiles to job specifications. The grade integration process
has also been success fully completed, using job evaluation techniques. While
ICICI Bank is India’s second-largest bank, it had just over 7,700 employees at
March 31, 2002, demonstrating our unique technology-driven, productivity-
focused business model.
The recruitment process has been streamlined and a uniform recruitment policy
and process implemented across the merged organization. Robust ability-testing
and competency -profiling tools are being used to strengthen the campus
recruitment process and match the profiles of employees to the needs of the
organization. ICICI Bank continues to be a preferred employer at leading
business schools and higher education institutions across the country, offering a
wide range of career opportunities across the entire spectrum of financial
services. In addition to campus recruitment, ICICI Bank also undertakes lateral
recruitment to bring new skills, competencies and experience into the
organization and meet the requirements of rapidly growing businesses. A Six
Sigma initiative has been undertaken for the lateral recruitment process to
GGITM,BHOPAL - 55 -
improve capabilities in this area. ICICI Bank encourages cross-functional
movement, enriching employees’ knowledge and experience and giving them a
holistic view of the organization while ensuring that the bank leverages its
human capital optimally. The rapidly changing business environment and the
constant challenges it poses to organizations and businesses make it imperative
to continuously enhance knowledge and skill sets across the organization. ICICI
Bank believes that building a learning organization is critical for being
competitive in products and services and meeting customer expectations. ICICI
Bank has built strong capabilities in training and development to build
competencies. Training on products and operations is imparted through web-
based training modules. Special programmes on functional training and
leadership development to build knowledge as well as management ability are
conducted at a dedicated training facility. ICICI Bank also draws from the best
available training programmes and faculty, both international and domestic; to
meet its training and development needs and build globally benchmarked skills
and capabilities.
ICICI Bank seeks to build in all its employees a total commitment towards
exceptional standards of performance and productivity, adaptability to changing
organizational needs and the demands of the business environment and a
willingness to learn and acquire new capabilities. ICICI Bank believes in
defining clear performance parameters for employees and empowering them to
achieve their goals. This has helped to create a culture of high performance
across the organization. ICICI Bank also has a structured process of identifying
and developing leadership potential the focus on human resources management
as a key organizational activity has resulted in the creation of an exceptional
pool of talent, a performance-oriented organizational culture and has imparted
agility and flexibility to the organization, enabling it to capitalize on
opportunities and deliver value to its stakeholders.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Each and every project study along with its certain objectives also has scope for
future. And this scope in future gives to new researches a new need to research
a new project with a new scope. Scope of the study not only consist one or two
future business plan but sometime it also gives idea about a new business which
becomes much more profitable for the researches then the older one.
Scope of the study could give the projected scenario merger and consolidation
of ICICI bank and ICICI limited.
Whatever scope I observed in my project are not exactly having all the features
of the scope which I described above but also not lacking all the features.
We highlight the major themes to emerge from the study. We looked the key
findings from the areas of production, survey of executive opinion in global
organizations, within which we examined major operation, including staffing,
performance management, rewards, development, and career management and
knowledge and learning.

TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
As no study could be successfully completed without proper tools and
techniques, same with my project. For the better presentation and right
explanation I used tools of statistics and computer very frequently. And I am
very thankful to all those tools for helping me a lot. Basic tools which I used for
project from statistics are-
- Bar Charts
- Pie charts
- Tables
Bar charts and pie charts are really useful tools for every research to show the
result in a well clear, ease and simple way. Because I used bar charts and pie
charts in project for showing data in a systematic way, so it need not necessary
for any observer to read all the theoretical detail, simple on seeing the charts
any body could know that what is being said.

Applied Principles and Concepts
While I started to do the project the main thing which was the matter of concern
was that around what principles I have to revolve my project. Because with out
having any hypothesis and objective we can not determine that what output or
result we are expecting form the project.
And second thing is that having only tools and techniques for the purpose of
project is not relevant until unless we have the principals for which we have to
use those tools and techniques.

CONCLUSION
GGITM,BHOPAL - 86 -
CONCLUSION
Merger and acquisition is nothing new in the Indian banking industry. But there
has been a change in impetus. Earlier, with the banks firmly under the control of
RBI, mergers were forced upon to save weak banks from collapsing. The
gradual privatisation and globalisation of the banking industry has now forced
banks themselves to go in for merger. Increase in profitability, synergies in
operation, global scale and other such reasons have replaced the social and
political motives of yesteryears. Successful mergers can lead to prosperity both
for the shareholders of the merged company and for the economy as a whole.
The true catalyst of a successful merger is the top executive whose pragmatic
and dynamic leadership and a clear foresight can help a merger click. The trick
is to neutralise the expected pitfalls while bringing the best out of operational
synergies. The making of ICICI Bank into a ‘Universal bank’ has shown the
way. This reverse merger has thus opened up a challenge to the banks and
financial institutions in India to merge and become ‘financial conglomerate(s)’
by exploiting the present favourable business environment and also to de-risk
their operating environment
