根据提议，Fairfax Financial Holdings的全资子公司将收购IDBI银行的股份。Fairfax的投资部门Fairfax India Holdings Corporation也将参与此次拟议交易。Fairfax计划将银行、保险和投资业务合并。Fairfax提议将其在Digit的股权注入IDBI银行，而Fairfax India则将其在IIFL资本服务的股权注入。两项注资均将按市场价进行。

Both contributions would be made at market prices.
该拟议合并将把银行业、一般保险和人寿保险、投资银行、股票经纪、财富管理和资产管理纳入一个集团。Fairfax董事长兼首席执行官Prem Watsa表示，收购印度银行多数股权的机会十分罕见，并引用了该国的增长前景。他表示，合并后的业务可以为客户提供一站式广泛金融服务，并有助于提高印度的信贷占GDP比重。Digit的创始人兼董事长Kamesh Goyal表示，该合并有望显著扩大保险公司的分销网络。
The proposed combination would bring banking, general and life insurance, investment banking, stockbroking, wealth management and asset management under one group. Fairfax chairman and CEO Prem Watsa called the opportunity to acquire a majority stake in an Indian bank a rare one, citing the country's growth prospects.

Digit founder and chairman Kamesh Goyal said the combination could significantly expand the insurer's distribution network.
IIFL Group 创始人尼尔梅尔·贾因表示，该提案将支持 IIFL Capital 在投资银行、机构股票、财富管理和资产管理方面的增长。Fairfax 预计将使用可用现金、现有信贷融资和潜在资产出售来为收购提供资金。拟议的领导结构Fairfax 预计，IDBI 银行现任董事总经理兼首席执行官拉凯什·沙尔马将继续领导合并后的实体。
IIFL Group founder Nirmal Jain said the proposal would support IIFL Capital's growth in investment banking, institutional equities, wealth management and asset management. Fairfax expects to fund the acquisition using available cash, existing credit facilities and potential asset sales.

它还计划将 CSB 银行前首席执行官 C. VR. 拉杰恩德兰引入领导团队。ICICI Prudential 人寿保险前首席执行官兼 ICICI 银行首席财务官 N. S. 坎南被提名为董事长。所有任命均须经印度储备银行批准。Fairfax 不预计 Digit 或 IIFL Capital 的现有治理、管理或运营结构会发生变化。戈亚尔的团队将继续领导 Digit，而 R. 文卡塔拉曼、瓦苏德夫·贾加纳特和内姆库马尔·H 将继续掌舵 IIFL Capital。

All appointments would be subject to Reserve Bank of India approval. Fairfax does not expect changes to the existing governance, management or operating structures at Digit or IIFL Capital. Goyal's team would continue to lead Digit, while R. Venkataraman, Vasudev Jagannath and Nemkumar H would remain at the helm of IIFL Capital.
交易仍需批准Fairfax 被宣布为战略买家并非政府剥资流程的最后一步。各方尚未签署具有约束力的协议，Fairfax 警告称，拟议的交易可能不会按公布的条款完成，甚至可能根本不会完成。该收购也可能在没有一个或两个拟议业务贡献的情况下进行。拟议的贡献需要印度储备银行批准，以及印度证券交易委员会的审查和批准。
Deal still subject to approvalsThe declaration of Fairfax as the strategic buyer is not the final step in the government's disinvestment process. The parties have not yet signed binding agreements, and Fairfax cautioned that the proposed transactions may not be completed on the announced terms or at all. The acquisition could also proceed without one or both of the proposed business contributions. The proposed contributions require RBI approval and review and approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India .
Digit 业务的转让还需要印度保险监管和发展管理局的批准。Go Digit 普通保险公司周四向证券交易所通报称，已收到 Fairfax 日期为 10 月 14 日的公告。Fairfax 周四举行电话会议，讨论拟议的交易。
The transfer of Digit businesses would additionally require approval from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India .Go Digit General Insurance informed stock exchanges on Thursday that it had received Fairfax's announcement, dated October 14.
