16 Mar 2010 Evaluate

The Board of Directors of Hindustan Constructions Company (HCC) has approved the acquisition of a controlling stake in Karl Steiner AG (KSAG), the second largest operator in the Swiss Real Estate market. The Company will acquire 66% stake via issuance of new shares in consideration for a CHF 35 million cash Investment in KSAG.

 

KSAG will use the funds raised by the capital increase for its Swiss operations, and the growth of the company's core business in India's booming residential and commercial construction market. In 2014, in line with the envisaged succession process, KSAG's sole owner Mr. Peter Steiner will sell his remaining shares to the Company. The shares will be sold at a pre-agreed price based on KSAG's earnings achieved between 2010 and 2013.

 

KSAG is a total and general services contractor for real estate and specializes in turnkey development of new buildings and refurbishments. The company offers services in all facets of real estate construction and is a market leader in Switzerland. KSAG was founded in 1915 and is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, with branch offices in Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Lucerne and St. Gallen. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals in Switzerland and India and is scheduled to close in the first quarter of the FY 2010 -2011.
