regulation 1995.
Section 11(2) E of companies act 1956

 To have a Level Playing Field for all the

CASE STUDY
HLL – BBLIL MERGER CASE
HLL-BROOKBOND LIPTON INDIA LTD
 The case primarily involves 4 parties namely Unit Trust of
India(UTI),Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL),Brooke Bond
Lipton India Limited (BBLIL)and Securities &Exchange
Board of India (SEBI).
 SEBI , suspecting insider trading, conducted enquiries.
 In August 1997 , SEBI charged HLL of insider trading by
using Unpublished Price-Sensitive Information.
 HLL bought 8 lakh shares of BBLIL from UTI at Rs.350.35 per
share (At a premium of 9.5% of ruling market price of Rs.320)
just two weeks before the formal announcement knowing that
the HLL and BBLIL were going to merge.
 SEBI held that HLL was using unpublished price-sensitive
information to trade , and was therefore guilty of insider
trading.
 In March 1998 , SEBI passes an executive order, which sent
shock waves through the country’s corporate order.
 SEBI penalized HLL with Rs. 34 million in compensation, and
also initiated criminal proceedings against the five directors of
HLL and BBLIL.
 HLL appealed against the SEBI verdict to the Union Ministry of
Finance.
 HLL contended that before the transaction ,the merger was the
subject of wide speculation by the market and the media.
 After the formal announcement ,press articles mentioned that
the merger was no surprise to anyone.
 HLL pointed out the shares of BBLIL moved up from Rs.242 to
320 between January and March, before the transaction,
indicating that the merger was “generally known information”.
 HLL claimed that the purpose of the purchase of shares
was to enable Unilever to acquire 51% shares of BBLIL.
 In July 1998, the Appellate Authority of the Finance
Ministry dismissed the SEBI order.
 However, SEBI order was correctly based on a simple
proposition of Law : what can not be done “directly” can
not be done “indirectly”.
