India based casino gaming company, together with invest INR 40 Crores as part of Series-A funding round in HalaPlay, an online Daily Fantasy Sports platform. Halaplay is a real money based daily fantasy sports platform. HalaPlay launched in 2017, has seen explosive growth in the user base and total transactions since then. HalaPlay has in the past received investment from Nazara Technologies, Kae Capital, Angel List, and other angel investors and is currently set to be the second-largest Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) platform in India. Halaplay has seen 10x user growth in the last 12 months and will exponentially grow with over 1 crore active players to play in the upcoming cricket season. Nazara Technologies will leverage its network of more than 10 Crores active users in its platform to increase its revenue in the coming years after the acquisition of these start-ups. The financial performance of Nazara Technologies was timid in the year 2018-19 owing to a reduction in the revenue from subscription business due to consolidation in the telecom business after JIO entry. However, now the company is focussing more on the Freemium and E-sports segment to grow its revenue and good growth is expected in the coming years when these start-ups start contributing. <strong>We at UnlistedZone believe that the company is in acquisition mode and slowly trying to grab the opportunity available in the nascent gaming market in India so as to become the leading player in the gaming segment. </strong>
<strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">1. SEBI may relax norms for selling debt security on Exchanges!</span></strong> As per the news published in ET, the SEBI may relax norms for unlisted companies to sell debt security on exchanges (BSE or NSE). Let us understand this. As of now, if any unlisted company wants to raise money by selling its debt security on the exchanges, have to comply with almost similar SEBI rules and regulation as required in case of equity shares listing on exchanges. This discourages unlisted companies to raise money by listing its debt security and this is a big opportunity lost for good unlisted companies to raise easy and cheap funds. “<em><strong>As per suggestions, SEBI may exempt Insider Trading rules, statutory auditor norms, and increase of filling financial results to one year from the current 6 months</strong></em>.” <strong>Capital Small Finance Bank</strong>, the unlisted company, has already raised money by selling its debt security to the exchanges. This is the reason why Capital Small Finance Bank always gives 6month's financial results to BSE and the same is uploaded on the website. Listing of a debt security by an unlisted company is good news for investors as they get regular updates/disclosures from a company as they have to comply with a lot of listing requirements. This increases transparency. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">2. Steel prices are all set to rise!</span></strong> The Steel price is set to increase by Rs.1000-1500 per ton. Oct-March is always been a strong quarter for demand in steel as Infrastructure activity picks up pace. This is positive news for <strong>Essar Steel</strong>, the unlisted company, which is acquired by Arcelor Mittal and Nippon steel in the joint venture.

Paytm, the Indian unicorn in the digital wallet has secured a funding of $1Billion( Rs. 7000 cr) from the US asset manager T Row Price along with existing investors, Softbank and Ant Financials,<strong><a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/newsbuzz/paytm-gets-1-billion-topup-in-latest-financing-round/articleshow/72216174.cms"> <u>as per the news published in, The Economic Times</u>.</a></strong> However, this funding has come up with clear instruction from investors, make the company profitable and bring IPO in the next 5 years, else they will be forced to sell their stakes to the rival company in the same business. The Indian start-ups like Oyo, Ola, Zomato, Swiggy, Paytm, etc. were burning cash from the start and focussing on capturing market share. They stayed afloat in the market due to continuous funding from investors. In the last 4-5 years, the Indian start-ups have seen valuation going in bubble state in spite of the companies not making any profit. We can say the private equity market was in bull state. However, the failure of We Work IPO and timid performance of Uber after listing has raised the question among the investors regarding the hefty valuation these start-ups command amidst continuous losses. Now every investor who is giving funding is asking the management of these companies to focus on generating cash instead of burning. The next 3-4 years would be, make and break for these start-ups. Coming back to Paytm, it has raised $1Billion at a hefty valuation of $16Billion ( Rs. 1.12 lakh crores) of market cap. To put this in context how big this valuation is, TCS the old Indian IT giant has a market cap of ~7 lakh crores and Reliance Industries, has a market cap of ~9 lakh crores. The Zomato has a market cap of ~$3.5 Billion, OYO has ~$10Billion, and OLA has ~$6.2Billion. Paytm, in the FY18-19, has made a loss of ~4000 Crores on the revenue of ~3300 Crores. The company is spending mainly on advertisements and discounts. The Paytm is facing stiff competition from Google Tej, Walmart backed Phone-Pay and Amazon Pay. However, the founder Vijay Shekhar is very much confident about the prospect of the company. He further stressed that certain businesses within Paytm, including payments and ticketing, are in the process of breaking even and hoping to make it profitable in the next couple of years.
ArcelorMittal's shares rose by 2.5percent on Friday, the day the Supreme Court cleared its acquisition of Essar Steel. That reaction may seem optimistic since its acquisition coincides with a rather difficult period for the global steel industry. Demand conditions have turned weak and so have steel prices even as the uncertainty due to the US-China trade war continues to linger. ArcelorMittal's bid for Essar Steel was valued over two years ago, when market conditions were far more favorable. But its investors have good reason to be optimistic. Gaining a foothold in India's attractive steel market India is one of the fastest-growing large markets for steel in the world. Sure, demand growth has slowed down in 2019 due to a poor outlook for sectors such as automobiles and real estate. But it's still robust at a projected 5percent in 2019 compared to 0.2percent for the world ex-China and 3.9percent if you include China. The European Union, where ArcelorMittal is headquartered is expected to see a 1.2percent decline. There is also the matter of global steel and mining companies finding it nearly impossible to secure a foothold in primary steel-making in India. They have had to be content with steel processing and marketing centers. That makes this acquisition significant, as the largest steel-maker in the world, with an output of 96.4mn tonnes in 2018, just a tad short of all of India's 96.7mn tonnes, has added about 7mn tonnes of steel output in India to its kitty. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The acquisition structure</strong></span> ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel will execute this acquisition through a joint venture to be formed with a debt-equity ratio of 2:1. While their respective equity share has not been disclosed, ArcelorMittal had said it expects the JV to be accounted for in the equity method. That is, it will be accounted for as an investment, and not a line-by-line addition on consolidation in which all costs and expenses, and all balance sheet items are included. Typically, in the equity method, the share of profit or loss attributable to ArcelorMittal will be included in its profit and loss account, and the value of the investment will reflect in its balance sheet. It could, therefore, be an equal JV with the sharing of management control. The ArcelorMittal JV will pay Rs42000crore as part of the resolution plan for Essar Steel. ArcelorMittal on its own has paid Rs 7469crore to the debtors of Uttam Galva and KSS Petron to become eligible as per the IBC law. The JV will also invest an additional Rs8000crore in Essar Steel, to meet its CAPEX and working capital requirements. In return, the ArcelorMittal JV will get a flat steel plant located on India's western coast, with a rated steel-making capacity of 10million tonnes. The location means it can access raw materials and export goods easily. It is also in the proximity of steel markets in adjoining states. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Making the acquisition work</strong></span> A problem that ArcelorMittal will seek to fix is Essar Steel's under-utilized capacity levels. Against its rated capacity, it produced only 6.5mn tonnes of steel when the bids were invited but that has increased to nearly 7mn tonnes now. The ArcelorMittal JV will seek to increase this output to 8.5mn tonnes in the medium term, for which the Rs8000crore investment will be useful. In the longer run, it proposes to increase output to 12-15mn tonnes. The success of this plan will be crucial to give the ArcelorMittal JV good returns on its investment. What is crucial is its success in removing the bottlenecks that are standing in the way of Essar Steel attaining higher utilization levels. But that's not all. Higher output from Essar Steel may lead to an oversupplied domestic market and that could affect prices. Domestic steel producers enjoy a premium over imported steel prices. Market conditions are soft, especially for hot-rolled coils because of the declining output of automobiles and slowing of consumer durable offtake. Higher output during this period could put a further strain on prices unless production is exported. But exports don't fetch the same margins that domestic sales do. If steel prices fall, then margins will take a hit and that's a risk for the entire industry. Further, there are several infrastructure and utilities linked to the steel plant and that is under control of the Essar group. One such case is that of a company that owns the slurry pipeline, Odisha Slurry Pipeline Infrastructure, which has defaulted on its loans. There are others such as power supply contracts and cargo services contracts at ports. Now, ArcelorMittal could try and acquire some assets or make arrangements with these companies to continue the existing services at existing pricing. Any disruption on this front is a risk for the acquired steel plant. The next few quarters and years should bring more clarity on this aspect. One good development for ArcelorMittal is that the Supreme Court struck down the NCLAT judgment pertaining to the distribution of profits earned during insolvency too. The Supreme Court said the request for proposal provided for profits to remain with the debtor, and therefore the estimated Rs4000crore in Ebitda generated till March 2019 and subsequent profits will remain with Essar Steel. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Returns on the acquisition and bearing the debt load.</span></strong> The strategic importance of this acquisition for ArcelorMittal is linked to India's growing steel consumption demand. In FY20, the pace of growth has slowed down in line with the economy and that is a concern. The steel industry's growth is linked to both consumption and investment demand growing at a steady pace and while India has promise, the delivery on this front has been a bit patchy. The investments made by companies such as ArcelorMittal are a sign they expect the long term potential to be realized. But the price is stiff, considering the total sum spent on this investment is close to Rs58000crore for a steel plant with a capacity of 7million tonnes. If we take this as enterprise value and the Ebitda it is estimated to have earned during FY19, it works out to an EV/Ebitda of 14.5 times, while ArcelorMittal trades at an EV/Ebitda of 5.2times (source: Yahoo Finance). To make this acquisition work, ArcelorMittal will be hoping to ramp up capacity to the 12-15mn tonne level, with minimal additional investments, which is when the acquisition will begin to make sense as the Ebitda generated will increase significantly. Meanwhile, the acquisition could weigh on its balance sheet, depending on the structuring of the joint venture. A 50:50 equity share may lighten the load. Recently, Moody's changed ArcelorMittal's rating outlook to negative, citing deterioration in its credit profile due to falling steel prices and weak market conditions. It expects its leverage to increase further with the acquisition of Essar Steel. As of June, ArcelorMittal's net debt was $10billion and its investment in Essar Steel stands at about $4.6bn (the payout to debtors of Uttam Galva and KSS Petron and half of Rs 50,000crore), which is a significant addition to the net debt figure. The ArcelorMittal JV could ease the burden by listing Essar Steel in India once the dust settles on the acquisition and the steel cycle improves somewhat. Investors do have a decent appetite for well-managed steel stocks in India, chiefly due to the encouraging long term outlook for steel, and the recent consolidation in the steel industry. While an IPO means ceding some equity stake and managing one more listed entity, it can help lower debt. It can bring other benefits too. Consider this: Hindustan Unilever's market capitalization is 41percent of Unilever's market capitalization. Unilever managed to acquire GSK Consumer Healthcare's India business using equity as consideration. That's an option that could become available to ArcelorMittal as well. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Source: Moneycontrol</strong></span>
Yesterday's decision from the Supreme Court is a big relief for creditors who were wandering from the last 2 years, first, in NCLT and then in, Supreme court, to get their dues from Essar Steel. <strong>Essar Steel</strong> is an integrated steel producer with an annual capacity of <strong>10 million tonnes</strong> with a strong presence in intensive steel consuming markets of Asia and North America. However, It has been for long, not been able to pay interest on loans taken from banks. Therefore, in 2017, the banks such as SBI, Canara, ICICI, Punjab National Bank and Standard Chartered had knocked on the door of NCLT to get their money back. <strong>Dues of Banks:</strong> <strong>(i)</strong> State Bank of India = 13220 cr <strong>(ii)</strong> Canara Bank = 3798 cr <strong>(iii)</strong> Punjab National Bank = 2936 Cr <strong>(iv)</strong> Edelweiss ARC = 8266 Cr <strong>(v)</strong> ICICI Bank = 2294 cr During the last two years, the Essar Steel case has seen lots of hiccups. Even after giving a 54000 cr resolution plan by Arcelor Mittal, Ruias the original promoters tried to delay the case by diverting the attention of NCLT court when they claimed to provide a better resolution plan and wants to get back the control of the company. However, <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/blow-for-ruias-nclt-rejects-plea-challenging-essar-steel-sale-to-arcelormittal/articleshow/70071851.cms?from=mdr">NCLT rejects plea challenging Essar Steel sale to ArcelorMittal by Ruis in March 2019</a> <strong>“</strong>The NCLAT, while approving ArcelorMittal’s bid, was unhappy with the payout given to operational creditors as per the decision given by the Committee of Creditors. Operational creditors to the stressed steel have admitted claims of ₹4,976 crores against which they will receive only ₹1,200 crores under the current resolution plan, while Standard Chartered Bank, one of the formal lenders, said it has claims of ₹3,487 crores against which it will receive ₹60.71 crores. The rest of the RS 42,000 crore would go to the secured lenders.” <strong>Operational Creditors Vs Finacial Creditors?</strong> <strong>"Operational Creditors</strong>”- who provide goods or services including employment to the company. A raw material supplier is an example of the operational creditor. "<strong>Financial Creditors</strong>"- means who have given loans to the company to run its operations or for expansion. The bank is an example of the financial creditor. So accordingly, the NCLAT finally on July 5 gave judgment, that operational creditors should be treated on a par with financial creditors for distribution of funds from ArcelorMittal’s bid in the Essar Steel insolvency case. The appellate tribunal had ordered an equal distribution of funds among all classes of creditors, with financial and operational lenders having claims above ₹1 crore to recover 60.7% of their total dues. For financial creditors, it was a sharp haircut compared to 89.8% as per the CoC’s revised funds distribution plan. This above judgment was against the rule which says the first right on funds are of Secured creditors, then Unsecured creditors and finally to Operational creditors. The financial creditors then went to Supreme Court, and finally, the case has been settled wherein, it has said that “ “The Supreme Court has set aside the NCLAT judgment in Essar Steel case paving the way for distribution of claims as decided by the Committee of Creditors. The SC bench said the adjudicating authority cannot interfere with the commercial decision taken by the CoC and they can at most ask the committee to re-examine the resolution plan”. So, all have been said with regard to Financial and Operational creditors, but what about shareholders' fate? As per the resolution plan, the Arcelor Mittal will infuse Rs.8000 cr in the company for running its operation and make it profitable again. The company is already delisted from the stock exchange and we feel that there is no chance of listing it again. The reason being, the listing requires a lot of compliances and moreover, the company doesn't need funds as of now, the primary reason for knocking the door of exchanges. So existing shareholders can buy/sell their shares in the unlisted market, as we feel the demand will come once the company becomes profitable. However, the picture will be clearer in the coming time and we will keep updating the same here.
<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Japan’s Softbank, the investor in the Paytm, has laid down new norms, as a part of the latest funding round to be done by T Rowe, Ant Fin, and Softbank.

The Paytm lately facing stiff competition from Walmart Phone-Pe and Google Tej. The next big threat is coming from Facebook backed Watsapp wallet, which is slated to hit the Indian market by next year.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">We at <strong>UnlistedZone</strong> viewed this as a necessary step, to avoid failure, such has happened in We-Work, where Softbank has a considerable investment. The We -Work IPO plans have failed miserably and its valuation has come down from $57 Billion to $8 Billion in just 3-4 months and has resulted in the loss of $4Billion to Softbank. The Fin-Tech companies can’t go alone on funding and must generate free-cash from the business to sustain in the longer run. Now all eyes would be on Vijay Shekhar, Founder of Paytm, as to how he will come out with the solution in the highly competitive environment to make Paytm profitable, which has shown a loss of ~Rs. 4000 cr in FY18-19. The challenge is huge. On one side you need growth and other side profitability. The next 1-2 years is make and break for Paytm.</span>
