Tech Mahindra today said it has extended the proposed merger of MahindraSatyam with itself for six months.
The company in a BSE filing said that its "board of directors extended the validity of the (amalgamation) scheme by a further period of six months, ie up to September 30, 2013."
The board has extended "scheme of amalgamation and arrangement of Venturbay Consultants and Satyam Computer Services and C&S Systems Technologies and Mahindra Logisoft Business Solutions and CanvasM Technologies with Tech Mahindra and their respective shareholders and creditors," it said.
Tech Mahindra took over reins of the scam-tainted Satyam Computers in April 2009 and rebranded it as Mahindra Satyam.
Last year, it had announced the merger of two companies and have secured the mandate of both the boards and shareholders, barring the minority ones, who have challenged the swap-ratio in the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
In February this year, Tech Mahindra had expressed the hope that the proposed merger of Mahindra Satyam with itself will be completed shortly.
Shares of Tech Mahindra today fell by 0.19 per cent to settle at Rs 1,045.80 apiece from their previous close at the BSE.
