JSW Paints Limited Reportedly Seeks to Acquire Akzo Nobel India JSW Paints Limited is competing with a consortium of Advent International, L.P. and Indigo Paints Limited (NSEI: INDIGOPNTS) to acquire Akzo Nobel India Limited (BSE:500710), the owner of Dulux Paints, from its Dutch parent Akzo Nobel NV (ENXTAM:AKZA), which is looking to exit India as part of a global restructuring, multiple people aware of the developments told ET. Both contenders submitted binding bids this week after the first deadline of April 15 was extended. The third contender, Pidilite Industries, which chiefly wants only Akzo’s decorative business, is also believed to be in the fray, but has not made an aggressive bid. Akzo Nobel NV, Europe’s largest paints company, holds a 74.76% stake in Akzo Nobel India. Since last October, the Amsterdam-based major has been working with its advisor to monetise its business as the $9 billion paints market in India has lately been witnessing unprecedented competition. The arrival of Aditya Birla Group, which owns the Birla Opus brand, has disrupted the established pricing norms in the paints industry, denting incumbents. Akzo plans a series of board meetings starting this week to evaluate the bids and take a final decision, said the people mentioned above. However, the bids are all at a 10% -15% discount to the current market price. The market value of Akzo India was INR 15,565.68 crore at Wednesday’s closing price of INR 3,418 per share. In February, Akzo India hived off and agreed to sell its powder coatings business its most profitable stream that contributes close to 12%-14% of sales to its Dutch parents . This has impacted the valuations of the residual business, which includes decorative and industrial paints. Moreover, the Akzo stock has risen 40.22% with the scrip touching its 52-week high of INR 4,649 per share in October in anticipation of the sale. That’s in contrast with the fortunes of its peers in India, like Shalimar or Indigo, which have seen one year returns crater 20-35%. Ankündigung • Feb 18

Warburg Pincus LLC, The Carlyle Group Inc. (NasdaqGS:CG), and CVC Capital Partners plc (ENXTAM:CVC) are among the many PE firms eyeing the entire South Asia portfolio of the paint-maker, sources close to the development told businessline. Meanwhile, for the India business, JSW Paints Limited (with TPG) and Pidilite Industries Limited (NSEI:PIDILITIND) are in the running, with Indigo Paints Limited (NSEI:INDIGOPNTS) also a possible contender. Asian Paints, Birla Opus, and Berger have opted out. “Some PE firms have been in touch for the purpose of strategic review and due diligence of the portfolio – the entire South Asia business including India. Some of them are looking at partners in India too, or they may go alone. Discussions are underway at the global level,” multiple sources said. Warburg Pincus and Carlyle are yet to respond to queries. All the three PE firms have previously been involved in multiple transactions with Akzo.

Pidilite, JSW, Berger and Indigo Reportedly Submit Non-Binding Bids for Akzo Nobel India Pidilite Industries Limited (NSEI:PIDILITIND), JSW Paints Limited, Berger Paints India Limited (BSE:509480) and Indigo Paints Limited (NSEI:INDIGOPNTS) submitted non-binding bids for the acquisition of Akzo Nobel India Limited (BSE:500710), the owner of Dulux Paints, earlier this week, said people aware of the matter. The industry is looking to consolidate following the entry of Aditya Birla Group into the estimated $9 billion paints sector last year. All four aim to initiate management meetings with parent Akzo Nobel N.V. (ENXTAM:AKZA) at the company's Dutch headquarters starting next week. Akzo Nobel NV holds a 74.76% stake in Akzo Nobel India. In January, ANNV proposed a strategic evaluation of its powder coatings business and international research centre. This involved the sale of these assets to an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ANNV, Akzo Nobel India had said in a regulatory filing. It also included Akzo Nobel India potentially acquiring the decorative paints' intellectual property owned by ANNV. Subsequently, after the company mandated Citi to evaluate strategic options, ANNV decided to sell its Indian operations. The Indian unit of Akzo Nobel has a market capitalisation of INR 175,310 million. The stock has surged 47% in the last 12 months in anticipation of a sale. It ended at INR 3,849.70 on the BSE on Jan. 24, 2025. The sale of ANNV’s stake would translate to a deal size of about INR 131,070 million at the current market cap. An acquirer will also have to launch an open offer for an additional 26% of the company, making it the largest such takeover in the Indian paints industry.“It's a very richly valued company that is reading 22-23 times trailing 12 months ebitda,” said the CEO of one of the bidders. “But for many like JSW, Indigo or even Pidilite, which has taken baby steps in the space, thus far it's potentially a game changer.” Pidilite MD-designate Sudhanshu Vats said on an earnings call on Wednesday that the company will continue to look for “partnerships and acquisitions”.With regard to Akzo Nobel, he said, “We would not like to comment on any speculation. At this point in time, I have nothing to share on this. We continuously look at opportunities. This is an ongoing process. You've seen our track record over the last five to seven years. We've done some very successful partnerships and acquisitions. So, this is something which we keep doing.” JSW Paints MD Parth Jindal confirmed to ET his company's “serious interest” in pursuing the target. JSW is in talks with at least three private equity funds to explore a partnership. Indigo Paints MD Hemant Jalan said he “would not like to comment”. Indigo is said to be in talks with Bain Capital to form a consortium. Berger Paints and Akzo Nobel India didn’t comment. Ankündigung • Jan 13
