Promoters of DLF Ltd, India’s largest developer by market value, will sell their 40 percent stake in a subsidiary that owns many of the company’s rent-generating assets and a few land assets to institutional, third-party investors, the company said on Thursday. The move facilitates the monetizing of the company’s rental assets through a stake sale to private equity investors or a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), and will also effectively reduce the debt on DLF’s books. An audit committee, after reviewing and evaluating many options to drive long-term growth of the rental business and avoid potential conflict of interest between the promoters and the company in relation to the rental business, recommended that the promoters sell their shareholding in the subsidiary DLF Cyber City Developers Ltd (DCCDL) to other institutional investors. With this, DLF promoter companies Rajdhani Investments and Agencies Pvt. Ltd, Buland Consultants and Investments Pvt. Ltd and Sidhant Housing and Development Company, which hold 40 percent equity shareholding in DCCDL will sell their stake to private equity (PE) investors. DLF Ltd will continue to hold its 60 percent stake in DCCDL. DLF promoters have a March 2016 deadline to convert their compulsorily convertible preference shares in the subsidiary DCCDL into equity shares.
