HEG demerger

Earlier this month, the company announced its demerger into two separately listed entities focused on graphite electrodes and advanced materials.

The graphite electrodes business will move to HEG Graphite, which is proposed to be later renamed to HEG and run as a pure-play graphite electrodes company. The existing listed company will retain the advanced materials, battery energy solutions and green power businesses. It is proposed to be renamed HEG Advanced Materials after the demerger.

As part of the demerger, HEG shareholders will receive one share with a face value of Rs 2 each in the company being spun off for every share they hold in the existing HEG. This means the demerger ratio has been fixed at 1:1.

As part of the same scheme, Bhilwara Energy will be amalgamated into HEG. Under the arrangement, HEG will issue eight equity shares with a face value of Rs 2 each for every seven equity shares with a face value of Rs 10 each held in Bhilwara Energy. It is important to note that Bhilwara Energy is an unlisted company.
