The request from the management and labour union of SsangYong Motor Company (SYMC) for fresh injection of equity from M&M to help the company fund 500 billion KRW (USD 406M) of requirements over the next three years, was considered by the Board.
The Board noted that large parts of the global economy are under shutdown. India particularly is under an unprecedented 21-day complete lockdown. Only emergency services are operating while, everything else is closed.
The Board has also initiated several measures to tighten capital allocation norms and ensure that M&M remains strong through the current crisis and beyond.
After lengthy deliberation given the current and projected cash flows, the M&M Board took a decision that M&M will not be able to inject any fresh equity into SYMC and has urged SYMC to find alternate sources of funding. However, with a view to enable SYMC to have continuity of business operations, whilst they are exploring alternate sources of funding, the board has authorised the M&M management to consider a special one-time infusion of upto 40 billion KRW (USD 32M) over the next three months.
Moreover, M&M would make every effort to continue to support to all other non-fund initiatives that are currently in place to help SYMC reduce Capex, save costs and secure funds. Examples of such support are:
1. Capex-free access to Mahindra's new platforms such as W601.2. Support technology programs which would help reduce SYMC's capex3. Support the material cost reduction program that is currently underway4. Support SYMC management to find new investorsThe Board hoped that the employees and management at SYMC understand the magnitude of the unfortunate and unforeseen crisis created by the COVID-19 virus, which has compelled it to take the difficult decision

Valued Customer,
BOB Capital Markets Limited (BOBCaps) is firmly committed to the safety of your wealth. We would like to bring to your notice certain precautions that you certainly must take against potential tele-fraudsters/ unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers:
ALWAYS AVOID
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits. Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns. Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices. At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer.
The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
