Samara Capital Ready To Invest ₹7,000 Cr In FRL

Samara Capital ready to invest ₹7,000 cr in FRL.

Amazon has written to independent directors of Future Retail Limited (FRL) saying that private equity fund Samara Capital is ready to invest Rs 7,000 crore to buy all the retail assets of the debt-ridden company FRL.

The US e-commerce company has asked the retail company to hand over due diligence (financial details related to the purchase) to Samara by Sunday.

On January 19, Amazon reached out to independent directors of FRL to express its willingness to help address the company’s financial concerns.

In response, the independent directors asked Amazon to confirm by January 22 whether it would invest Rs 3,500 crore in the retail company to pay off FRL’s lenders by January 29, 2022.

In its reply on January 22, Amazon said, “We confirm that we are committed to carrying forward the agreement entered into between FRL and its promoters with Samara Capital.”

Under this agreement, it has been said to buy for Rs 7,000 crore. Amazon said in its letter that Samara will acquire all of FRL’s retail assets under the agreement.

This includes Easyday, Aadhar, and Heritage brands. The acquisition will be carried out by an Indian-owned and controlled entity led by Samara, backed by Amazon.

However, it is not yet known why Samara Capital is making this offer through Amazon instead of speaking directly to FRL.

Amazon is believed to be trying to close the deal between Samara and FRL to protect its own investment in the Future Group.

Through this deal, the American e-commerce company also wants to ensure that FRL does not sell its assets to Reliance Retail at any cost.
