Crompton Greaves gains on proposal to buy Kenstar

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals has offered to pay nearly Rs 1,440 crore to buy Kenstar from Videocon Group, reported a leading business daily.

The deal hinges on a 'sustainable sales guarantee' clause that private equity-backed Crompton Greaves Consumer wants to include in the final agreement.

This clause ensures that the sales numbers of Kenstar quoted by Videocon do not deviate drastically in the near future from what has been stated. The transaction will be a leveraged buyout, the daily added.

Kenstar, a part of the Dhoot family-controlled Videocon group makes a range of kitchen and home appliances such as air conditioners, air coolers, mixer grinders and electric kettles.

Meanwhile, the stock traded in the positive territory gaining 0.58% at Rs 216.45 per share at 1252 hours. The stock on BSE attracted a total traded quantity of 0.11 lakh.
