GE CAPS TAKES CONTROLLING STAKE IN CCFSL
Article Abstract:
Multinational GE Capital(GEC) has taken over the management of the Countrywide Consumer Finance Services Ltd (CCFSL) from the Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC). The GEC has bought 20 percent stake of the CCFSL from HDFC, thus enhancing its holdings to 75 percent. The GEC paid about Rs20 crore at Rs30 per share for Rs10 share. After the deal HDFC still holds 25 percent shares in CCFSL. HDFC wants to sell off its entire stake and one of the clauses in the agreement stipulates GEC to make arrangements for buying the rest of the 25 percent stake of HDFC by 2000. HDFC is planning to start its own consumer finance products. (ranga)

FIPB DEFERS DECISION ON IFC'S STAKE IN GTB
Article Abstract:
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) of USA had planned to increase its stake in the Global Trust Bank (GTB) of India. The Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) has postponed its decision on the proposal. IFC, holding 8 percent stake in GTB, is likely to get 25 lakh convertible debentures from GTB. The debentures are priced Rs60 with a maturity of 4 years. This will raise the stake of IFC by 3-4 percent. It is not clear whether the calculations are based on the Rs10 face value of the share or the offer price of Rs60. IFC's holding in GTB's equity after 4 years is likely to increase by 32 percent.
