Tech Mahindra’s acquisition of Satyam Computer Services is likely to proceed smoothly, as it is a government nominated board at the helm of affairs. That was evident in the speed with which the Company Law Board approved the preferential allotment to Tech Mahindra, to give it a 31% stake in Satyam.
Tech Mahindra can appoint four nominees on Satyam’s board while the existing six government nominees will continue to hold their positions. The new directors will get the same immunity that the existing directors have from any litigation in the country.
