Interest of the Directors

All the directorshave interest in the Amalgamation to the extent of their respective certificate holdings in the Modarabas. The effect of the Scheme on the interest of these directors does not differ from respective interest of other Certificate Holders of the Modarabas. The directors are also interested to the extent of remuneration and fringe benefits as per the policies of Modarabas.

BENEFITS OF THE SCHEME

Larger Equity Base

The Amalgamation of Modarabas would lead to increased asset base and size as well as improved strength of the merged entity. This would in turn assist the management to have increased access to external funds at competitive rates. Increased size of fund capital and asset base would also provide greater comfort to existing and future Certificate Holders and Creditors. Access to larger resources would also improve future growth prospects of the merged entity and the management's ability to undertake large assignments.

Synergies

All these Modarabas are multipurpose Modarabas primarily having identical lines of business. The Amalgamation would give an opportunity to operate the business of these Modarabas through singular unified departments which are operating separately in these Modarabas, thus resulting in economies of scales and improved utilization of human resources.

Increase in Risk Absorption Capacity

The larger equity base of the merged/amalgamated Modarabas would increase its risk absorption capacity thus an increased and improved capacity to manage the potential risks arising out of any adverse and uncertain operating environment. In the long run this factor would provide greater stability as well as sustainability in operations.

Reduction in Administrative Costs

The Amalgamation would enable the merged entity to consolidate its operations in order to carry out its business through singular operations managing various departments with sole set of management and staff, thus resulting in substantial cost savings and economies of scale leading to enhanced profitability.

Single Corporate and Tax Reporting

The Amalgamation will make single corporate and tax reporting possible for the merged/amalgamated Modarabas. It will entail elimination of maintenance of separate records for business operations, marketing, legal, administrative, secretarial and other records under the various laws resulting in duplication of work and higher costs of human resource and operations.
