How Mukesh Ambani Saved Oberoi Hotels & Resorts from a Hostile Takeover by ITC Limited In the 1990s, ITC Limited, a conglomerate with a significant presence in the hotel industry, gradually acquired a substantial stake in EIH Ltd, the parent company of Oberoi Hotels & Resorts. By 2010, ITC Limited held over 14% of the company’s shares, raising concerns within the Oberoi family that ITC Limited might attempt a hostile takeover, given its growing influence. At this critical juncture, Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries Limited, entered the scene. In a strategic move, Reliance Industries Limited invested ₹1,021 crore in EIH, purchasing a 14.12% stake. This partnership provided Oberoi Hotels & Resorts with a crucial buffer, diluting ITC Limited’s influence and effectively thwarting any potential hostile takeover attempt. Ambani’s investment was seen as a white knight intervention, helping the Oberoi family maintain control over the company. #hedgefunds #HedgeFunds #FinanceSuccess #CareerInspiration #InvestmentBanking #FinanceCareers #WallStreet #Motivation #SuccessStory #HedgeFundManagers #WealthManagement

The demerger of the FMCG giant's hotel business🏨 section was authorized by ITC shareholders at their meeting on Thursday, June 6. This has made it possible for ITC Hotels to list. Up to 99.6% of shareholders voted in favor of the change, exceeding the three-fourths majority required by regulation. As ITC maintains a 40% stake in the hotel sector, along with its current 13.69% ownership in East India Hotels and 7.58% equity in Hotel Leela Venture, the deal does not fully divest ITC's shareholders👨🏼💼 from the hotel industry, according to IiAS in a shareholder communication. This deal partially releases value, to the extent of 60%, but it's expected that ITC will continue to offer financial backing to the hotel sector as a promoter.💰 ITC's core consumer staples business accounted for 71% of its topline in fiscal year 2024, with the hotels division contributing only 4% of total revenue. Established in 1975, ITC Hotels is the leading chain of luxury hotels in India, with more than 📍70 locations and over 120 properties.
