financial services to customers, including retail banking, project and corporate finance,

banking, broking, and treasury products and services. The company operates in, India,
the UK, Canada and Russia. It is headquartered in Mumbai, India and employs about
40,686 people. The company recorded revenues of INR600.5 billion (approximately
$14.9 billion) in the financial year ended March 2008, an increase of 45.2% over 2007.
The net profit was INR33.9 billion (approximately $0.8 billion) in the financial year 2008,
an increase of 35.1% over 2007.
ICICI Bank started as a wholly owned subsidiary of ICICI Limited, an Indian financial
institution, in 1994. Four years later, when the company offered ICICI Bank's shares to
the public, ICICI's shareholding was reduced to 46%. In the year 2000, ICICI Bank
offered made an equity offering in the form of ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE), thereby becoming the first Indian company and the first bank or financial
institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE. In the next year, it acquired
the Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation. Later in the year and the
next fiscal year, the bank made secondary market sales to institutional investors.
With a change in the corporate structure and the budding competition in the Indian
Banking industry, the management of both ICICI and ICICI Bank were of the opinion
that a merger between the two entities would prove to be an essential step. It was in
2001 that the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank sanctioned the
amalgamation of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI
Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI
Bank. In the following year, the merger was approved by its shareholders, the High
Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad as well as the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and
the Reserve Bank of India.
ICICI Bank has its equity shares listed in India on Bombay Stock Exchange and the
National Stock Exchange of India Limited. Overseas, its American Depositary Receipts

MERGER
What is Merger?
A merger occurs when two companies combine to form a single company. A merger is
very similar to an acquisition or takeover, except that in the case of a merger existing
stockholders of both companies involved retain a shared interest in the new
corporation. By contrast, in an acquisition one company purchases a bulk of a second
company's stock, creating an uneven balance of ownership in the new combined
company.
The entire merger process is usually kept secret from the general public, and often
from the majority of the employees at the involved companies. Since the majority of
merger attempts do not succeed, and most are kept secret, it is difficult to estimate how
many potential mergers occur in a given year. It is likely that the number is very high,
however, given the amount of successful mergers and the desirability of mergers for
many companies.
A merger may be sought for a number of reasons, some of which are beneficial to the
shareholders, some of which are not. One use of the merger, for example, is to
combine a very profitable company with a losing company in order to use the losses as
a tax write-off to offset the profits, while expanding the corporation as a whole.
Increasing one's market share is another major use of the merger, particularly amongst
large corporations. By merging with major competitors, a company can come to
dominate the market they compete in, giving them a freer hand with regard to pricing
and buyer incentives. This form of merger may cause problems when two dominating
companies merge, as it may trigger litigation regarding monopoly laws.
Another type of popular merger brings together two companies that make different, but
complementary, products. This may also involve purchasing a company which controls
an asset your company utilizes somewhere in its supply chain. Major manufacturers
buying out a warehousing chain in order to save on warehousing costs, as well as
making a profit directly from the purchased business, is a good example of this.
PayPal's merger with eBay is another good example, as it allowed eBay to avoid fees
they had been paying, while tying two complementary products together.
A merger is usually handled by an investment banker, who aids in transferring
ownership of the company through the strategic issuance and sale of stock. Some have
alleged that this relationship causes some problems, as it provides an incentive for
investment banks to push existing clients towards a merger even in cases where it may
not be beneficial for the stockholders.
➢ Before deciding on the merger, the authorized officials of the acquiring bank
and the merging bank sit together and discuss the procedural modalities and
financial terms. After the conclusion of the discussions, a scheme is prepared
incorporating therein the all the details of both the banks and the area terms and
conditions.
➢ After the Board approval of the merger proposal, an extra ordinary general
meeting of the shareholders of the respective banks is convened to discuss the
proposal and seek their approval.
➢ After the board approval of the merger proposal, a registered valuer is appointed
to valuate both the banks. The valuer valuates the banks on the basis of its
share capital, market capital, assets and liabilities, its reach and anticipated
growth and sends its report to the respective banks.
➢ Once the valuation is accepted by the respective banks , they send the proposal
along with all relevant documents such as Board approval, shareholders
approval, valuation report etc to Reserve Bank of India and other regulatory
bodies such Security & exchange board of India (SEBI for their approval.
➢ After obtaining approvals from all the concerned institutions, authorized officials
of both the banks sit together and discuss and finalize share allocation
proportion by the acquiring bank to the shareholders of the merging bank
(SWAP ratio
➢ Although the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (AACS) does not empower Reserve
Bank to formulate a scheme with regard to merger and amalgamation of banks, the
State Governments have incorporated in their respective Acts a provision for
obtaining prior sanction in writing, of RBI for an order, inter alia, for sanctioning a
scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction.
➢ The request for merger can emanate from banks registered under the same State
Act or from banks registered under the Multi State Co-operative Societies Act
(Central Act) for takeover of a bank/s registered under State Act. While the State
Acts specifically provide for merger of co-operative societies registered under them,
the position with regard to take over of a co-operative bank registered under the
State Act by a co-operative bank registered under the CENTRAL
➢ Although there are no specific provisions in the State Acts or the Central Act for the
merger of a co-operative society under the State Acts with that under the Central
Act, it is felt that, if all concerned including administrators of the concerned Acts are
agreeable to order merger/ amalgamation, RBI may consider proposals on merits
leaving the question of compliance with relevant statutes to the administrators of the
Acts. In other words, Reserve Bank will confine its examination only to financial
aspects and to the interests of depositors as well as the stability of the financial
system while considering such proposals.
India's largest finance company and largest private bank were merging on 31 March,
2002, thus creating the nation's first universal bank, or one-stop provider of virtually all
types of financial services.
The merged entity was create India's second-largest bank after state-run colossus
State Bank of India, which along with its subsidiaries accounts for a third of the Indian
banking industry's loans and deposits. The swap ratio has been decided at 2:1 that is 1
share of ICICI Bank for every 2 shares held in ICICI Ltd.
It is also include merger of two ICICI subsidiaries, namely, ICICI Personal Finance
Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited with ICICI Bank. The American
Depository Shares (ADS) holder of ICICI would be issued five ADS of ICICI Bank in
exchange for four ADS of ICICI.
The ICICI universal bank was control assets of Rs 940 billion, surpassed only by SBI's
Rs 3.16 trillion and ahead of third-placed state-run Industrial Development Bank of
India with Rs 718 billion.
The merged entities have a capital base of Rs 95 billion, 8,300 employees and a huge
nationwide branch network.
As of September 30, 2002, ICICI Bank had 396 branches, India's largest ATM network
of 601 automatic teller machines, and 3.2 million retail customers, including both
depositors and borrowers.

companies are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and are based in Bombay, the
Indian financial capital.

The merger between ICICI Bank and Bank of Madura (BoM) is a remarkable one. The
pre--merger market capitalization of ICICI Bank was roughly Rs.2500 crore while BoM
was at roughly Rs.100 crore. BoM is known to have a poor asset portfolio.
In applying these ideas to ICICI Bank and to BoM, we need to believe that the stock
market effectively processes information to produce estimates of the price and volatility
of the shares of both these banks. This assumption is suspect, because both securities
have poor stock market liquidity. Hence, we should be cautious in interpreting the
numbers shown here. There are many other aspects in which this reasoning leans on
models, which are innately imperfect depictions of reality.
Pre-Merger status ofICICI Bank: The pre--merger status of ICICI Bank is as follows: it
had liabilities of Rs.12,073 crore, equity market capitalization of Rs.2,466 crore and
equity volatility of 0.748. Working through options reasoning, we find that this share
price and volatility are consistent with assets worth Rs.13,249 crore with volatility 0.15.
Thus, ICICI bank had assets which are 9.7% ahead of liabilities, which is roughly
consistent with the spirit of the Basle Accord, and has leverage of 5.37 times.
Anagram Finance Ltd (AFL), a non banking finance company, amalgamated with the
Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI). The swap ratio for the
amalgamation is expected to be in the region of 1:10-1:15.

crore, net NPA (non-performing assets) ratio of 2.3 per cent and capital adequacy of

returns on deposits in comparison of the present situation. These will also up to large

Conclusion
Thus, ICICI has been able to use technology to provide value-added service to its
customers during the last few years. For ICICI, technology is an integral part of their
business. However, their overall progress could have been smoother but for certain
internal and extraneous factors and also a pressure on spread due to a competitive
market. E-banking has become a necessary survival weapon and is fundamentally
changing the banking industry worldwide. Today, the click of the mouse offers
customers banking services at a much lower cost and also empowers them with
unprecedented freedom in choosing vendors for their financial service needs. No
country today has a choice- whether to implement E-banking or not given the global
and competitive nature of the economy. ICICI have to upgrade and constantly think of
new innovative customized packages and services to remain competitive. The invasion
of banking by technology has created an information age and commoditization of
banking services. ICICI have come to realize that survival in the new e-economy
depends on delivering some or all of their banking services on the Internet while
continuing to support their traditional infrastructure. The rise of E-banking is redefining
business relationships and the most successful banks will be those that can truly
strengthen their relationship with their customers. Without any doubt, the international
scope of E-banking provides new growth perspectives and Internet business is a
catalyst for new technologies and new business processes.
