In a significant turn of events, debt-laden Future Group on Tuesday rejected
Amazon’s offer of financial support, citing lower asset valuation than that
offered by Reliance Industries Ltd.

It also raised objections that the timelines on when the financial aid would
come were not clear. The independent directors have decided not to engage in any
further discussions on the proposed offer, Future Retail (FRL) said in a letter
to Amazon.

Mint has reviewed a copy of the letter.



“We have always been clear that we would assess any proposal, which provides a
comprehensive solution for banks, employees, shareholders, vendors, and other
stakeholders of FRL."

“Your proposal does not meet this basic criteria on speed and timing of funding,
legal compliance and adherence with the regulatory rulings, which you have
simply chosen to ignore. This makes it apparent that your offer is more by way
of posturing for extraneous reasons and not to address the crisis in which FRL
finds itself. We had also made it clear that assessment of any proposal would be
subject to FRL’s legal obligations".

On 21 January, the independent directors of Future Group asked Amazon whether it
can arrange emergency funding of ₹3,500 crore by Monday, in a positive response
to the multinational retailer’s overtures to financially support the Kishore
Biyani-led company.

FRL, which failed to repay loans by 31 December, needs this amount urgently to
avoid being declared a non-performing account (NPA). The directors had said FRL
will use the money to repay loans. They also said Amazon is free to engage with
FRL’s lenders so that it does not fall foul of its obligations.

Future directors cited that the company needs ₹12,027 crore for honoring its
debt to lender and vendors up to March 2022.

"Your proposal that FRL sells all its retail assets to Samara for a total
consideration of ₹7,000 crores is a sorry attempt to buy FRL’s assets on the
cheap, leaving FRL in a hopeless situation facing bankruptcy proceedings – all
causing public injury and public harm," said Ravindra Dhariwal, independent
director for FRL.
