Reliance Industries in focus on takeover of Future’s retail business

Image
Reliance Industries has stepped in to rescue Future Retail Limited (FRL), taking over the operations of its stores and offering jobs to its employees, even as the Kishore Biyani-led group is locked in a bitter legal wrangle with e-commerce major Amazon at several judicial forums over the sale of its business to the retail arm of the oil-to-telecom conglomerate. Reliance Retail has started taking over operations of Future Retail stores such as Big Bazaar and replaced them with its brand stores, according to sources. Future - which has more than 1,700 outlets, including popular Big Bazaar stores - has been unable to make lease payments for some of its outlets. As a result, Reliance transferred the leases of some stores to its name and sublet them to Future to operate the stores, the sources said. Future Group has been finding it difficult to finance its working capital needs. In a stock exchange filing on February 26, Future Retail said it plans to scale down its offline operations to re...

The Biggest Stock Market Crashes in History

Image
A stock market crash occurs when there is a significant decline in stock prices. While there's no specific numeric definition of a stock market crash, the term usually applies to occasions in which the major stock market indexes lose more than 10% of their value in a relatively short time period. Market crashes typically happen without warning, often on the heels of a long bull market run during which stock prices steadily rise. The hallmark of a stock market crash is panic-selling by investors who attempt to quickly liquidate their positions to either curb their losses or satisfy a margin call. While a crash of the stock market can occur quickly, many of the market's biggest crashes have had effects that were long-lasting and deep. Here's a brief look at some of the market's most notable crashes.

These restructuring moves are critical to the long-term prosperity of any firm as well as the economy. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have long been a popular way to enter new markets and expand existing ones. The regulatory and prohibitive measures of the MRTP (Monopolistic and Restrictive Trade Practices) Act, 1969, are a major influence on the entities involved in the merger.

A company taking over another company happens more often than you might expect. Acquisitions are the term for these types of takeovers. Mergers happen when two or more companies combine to form a single entity. These mergers are known in India as ‘Amalgamation. Mergers & Acquisitions help a firm achieve its growth goals.
