On September 24, 2024, Delta Corp’s Board of Directors approved the demerger of its Hospitality and Real Estate business through a Composite Scheme of Arrangement under Sections 230–232 and Section 66 of the Companies Act, 2013. 

This plan will separate the hospitality and real estate business into Delta Penland Private Limited (DPPL), the newly formed company.

For The Deltin Daman property, Delta Corp will sign a contract with DPPL to manage the hotel, but ownership will remain with Delta Corp. The demerger requires approval from shareholders, stock exchanges, SEBI, NCLT, and other regulatory bodies, a process expected to take 10 to 12 months. Once the scheme is effective, Delta Corp’s shareholders will also own shares in DPPL in the same proportion as their current Delta Corp shares.

DPPL will be listed on the stock exchanges after the demerger. This move will not affect the company’s employees, customers, or business partners.

According to a valuation by SSPA & Co., each shareholder will receive one new share in DPPL (valued at ₹1) for every Delta Corp share they currently own (also valued at ₹1). The fairness of this share entitlement has been confirmed by Kunverji Finstock Private Limited, an independent SEBI-registered merchant banker.

Objectives of the Demerger

  • Improved Focus and Management: By simplifying the corporate structure, the management can better concentrate on Delta Corp’s core business—gaming. This will boost operational efficiency and accountability. Meanwhile, the newly formed company (DPPL) will focus solely on the hospitality and real estate business.
  • Unlocking Value: Currently, Delta Corp’s hospitality and real estate operations are not valued as highly because the company is mainly seen as a gaming business. The demerger will allow shareholders to gain additional value by receiving one share in DPPL for every Delta Corp share they own. DPPL will be listed on the stock exchanges after the demerger.
  • Investor Choice: Once the demerger is complete, investors will have two separate listed companies—one focused on hospitality and real estate and the other continuing with gaming. This gives investors the flexibility to choose to invest in one or both businesses.
  • Sector-Specific Growth and Investment: Each company will have the chance to grow and attract investment in their respective sectors. By splitting the businesses, the risks will also be spread across different industries.
  • Better Resource Allocation: Both companies will be managed professionally, with greater transparency and accountability. Resources will be allocated more efficiently based on the specific needs of each business.
