Agenda Item No. 3 - Investment in an associated company, Agritech Limited, to be passed as Special Resolution.
The Company seeks the approval from its shareholders for investments in its associated company, Agritech Limited ("AGL"), through passing of the special resolutions (with or without modification(s)) provided in agenda item no. 3 of the EOGM Notice, in accordance with Section 199 of the Companies Act, 2017.
The background of the proposed investment is as follows: AGL is a manufacturer and producer of fertilizer. AGL's urea plant, with current annual production capacity of 433,000 tons, based on Japanese technology, was commissioned in 1999. For more than a decade, the plant operated at sub-optimal level due to gas curtailment, as a result of which AGL faced financial problems, and requires substantial investment in balancing, modernization and replacement (BMR) in order to optimize production. Accordingly, the debt of AGL piled up over the years, to a level where the AGL entered into a scheme of arrangement with its creditors which was sanctioned by the Lahore High Court finally on 3 June 2022. As per this scheme, inter alia, AGL's debt has been restructured through issuance by of certain non-voting securities and term finance certificates to its creditors ("Debt Securities "), which comprise primarily of commercial banks.
The Company believes that AGL has strong potential for revival and can contribute meaningfully towards increasing the aggregate domestic production of urea, which is necessary for catering to the additional urea demand expected to arise due to the Green Initiative launched by the Government of Pakistan through SIFC, and to reduce reliance on urea imports, thus contributing towards saving of scarce foreign exchange reserves and longterm food security of the Country. Based on the belief that AGL can be rehabilitated and revitalized, the Company invested in AGL, and by way of public offer (under the provisions of the Securities Act, 2015) dated 25 October 2024 (as revised on 20 November,2024) and capital market transactions (NDMs on the Pakistan Stock Exchange) with certain creditors of AGL, acquired an aggregate shareholding of around 31.12% of the total paid ordinary share capital of AGL. Together with other Fauji group companies, namely Fauji Foundation and Askari Bank Limited, the Company exercises a controlling stake in AGL.
To secure its investment in AGL, and to ensure AGL's long-term prospects and financial stability, the Company engaged AGL's creditors in an effort to acquire the Debt Securities at discount. Accordingly, the Company seeks members' approval for further investment in AGL (in terms of the information provided in this material statement) and for members' ratification of the investments already made in line with agreements with creditors of AGL by way of which
the Company acquired a certain portion of the Debt Securities from these creditor/shareholders of AGL, details of which are stated in Part (b)(iv) of the table below.
The Board of Directors of the Company has certified that the investment is being made after necessary due diligence of the proposed investment in AGL and has recommended that the shareholders of the Company pass the resolutions to permit the said investments.
The Board undertakes that they have carried out necessary due diligence for the proposed investments, which due diligence report is available for inspection at the registered office of the Company.
The common directors include Lt Gen Anwar Ali Hyder (Retd), Mr. Jahangir Piracha and Syed Bakhtiyar Kazmi, who are interested in the Proposed Transaction to the extent of their common directorship in both the Company and AGL.
Fauji Foundation (FF) is interested in the investment transaction to the extent that FF owns 42,039,867 ordinary shares in AGL, representing approx. 7.02% of the issued and paid up capital of AGL, and 619,253,529 ordinary shares in FFCL representing 43.51% of the issued and paid up capital of FFCL.
