Columbia (South Carolina) [US], July 12: STL (NSE: STLTECH), a leading optical and digital solutions company today announced that it has achieved a significant milestone towards its Global Services Business (GSB) demerger, receiving approval from its shareholders, including secured and unsecured creditors. The approval paves the way for shares of the new business to be listed separately. At the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) convened meetings held on 10 July 2024, the demerger proposal received 100 per cent approval from both secured and unsecured creditors and 99.98 per cent from equity shareholders through the voting process. The voting results reflected a resounding confidence in STL's growth potential and value creation. STL's Global Services Business has brought substantial value to its customers over the past decade. With its automation-led digital ecosystem creation capability, the business has been making significant strides in India and the UK. It has been a major part of India's digital growth story, blending the spirit of nation-building and digital infrastructure creation with automation. Over 1.35 lakh km of Optical Fibre network have been deployed across the country in 23 states, positioning STL as a trusted partner for delivering critical Optical solutions. The demerger will enable both businesses--STL and the new Global Services entity--to grow independently with more agility and focus, creating strong, distinct platforms for achieving their goals. This will also bring more value for cand strategic partners having a specific interest in the Global Services Business. No economic interest of any shareholder of the Demerged Company would change post-demerger. The process of getting approval from the NCLT will be completed in an indicative timeline of 2-3 months. Ankit Agarwal, Managing Director of STL, said, "We are thankful to our shareholders and creditors for their continued support. Achieving these approvals for the demerger is a pivotal milestone.
