    In Howard Smith Ltd v Ampol Petroleum Ltd [1974] AC821, Ampol Petroleum and Bulkships Ltd together owned 55% of the issued share capital of R W Miller (Holdings) Ltd. Ampol and Howard Smith Ltd were making competing takeover bids for Miller. The directors of Miller favored Howard Smith’s bid, which was higher, but there was no prospect of this bid succeeding because Ampol and Bulkships would not have accepted Howard Smith’s offer. The evidence showed that Miller was in need of further capital. The directors of Miller resolved to allot new shares to Howard Smith for two purposes; first, to raise the capital needed, and secondly to reduce the holdings of Ampol and Bulkships to enable Howard Smith’s bid succeed. Ampol challenged the validity of the allotment. It was held that the allotment was not valid. Its dominant purpose was to alter the balance of power, and this was not the purpose for which the director’s power to allot shares had been given.…

The latter course is outside the purview of SEBI and constitutes a subject matter of the Companies Act, 1956, and the courts of law, and there are well laid down procedures for valuation of shares and protection of the rights of investors. This Report and the SEBI Regulations for Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers do not deal with the subject of mergers and amalgamations.…
