Satyam Backed Off from Maytas Deal Following Extreme Pressures

Author Name: Neha Dhamija



Satyam Computer Services, which was planning for the acquisition of Maytas Infra Ltd and Maytas Properties, backed off from the deal following extreme opposition pressures from shareholders, institutional investors and government.

The acquisition deal has raised corporate governance issues for the company which has won a number of excellence awards over the years. Recently, Satyam Computers bagged the Golden Peacock Global Award Excellence in the area of Corporate Governance in September 2008.

Satyam was facing massive opposition from global investors like Templeton and the government is constantly looking into the deal very seriously in order to safeguard the interest of the minority shareholders. Various analysts have criticized the deal and called it unethical. According to them, the deal was overvalued and especially at a time when both the companies were not in a good shape.
