Fortis Board receives 'Binding Bids'
Mumbai, July 3: Fortis Healthcare (FHL) on Tuesday said that its Board has received "Binding Bids" from suitors under the new transaction process.
"The 'Binding Bids' will be evaluated by the Board of Directors of the company in consultation with its advisors," FHL said in a BSE filing on Tuesday.
On June 29, FHL had extended the deadline for submission of binding bids to July 3.
FHL had earlier said that it will consider the bids of four suitors -- Hero Enterprise Investment Office and Burman Family Office, IHH Healthcare Berhand, Radiant Life Care and TPG Asia and Manipal Health Enterprises -- in the new transaction process.
The earlier date of bid submission was June 28.
On its part, IHH in a filing to Bursa Malaysia informed that it has on Tuesday "issued a letter to the Board of Fortis setting out a binding offer, which supersedes and replaces the Enhanced Revised Proposal".
"The 'Binding Offer Letter' represents IHH's only binding offer. Legal obligations and agreement between IHH and Fortis will be created only after the Board of Fortis approves the preferential allotment in terms of the share subscription agreement to be executed between Fortis and IHH or the nominee of IHH."

Instagram removes BJP’s post claiming Cong ‘will snatch wealth of non-muslims’ following backlash
New Delhi: An animated video post shared on BJP’s official Instagram handle, asserting that the Congress party would snatch wealth from non-Muslims to ‘distribute it to its favorite community of invaders,’ has sparked significant backlash. Following the uproar, the photo sharing platform has taken down the post, reports Newslaundry.com.
Meanwhile, it is uncertain whether the post was removed by the BJP or by Instagram following mass reporting by several users as “misinformation” and “hate speech”. The video depicted Rahul Gandhi holding the Congress manifesto which transforms into the logo of the Muslim league. Furthermore, it sought support for PM Modi from every ‘Bharatiya,’ who is also shown wearing a saffron turban.
According to the report, it also contained a clip of PM Modi alleging that the former PM Manmohan Singh had said, “Muslims have the first claim on our resources,” insinuating that if the Congress were to assume power, it would confiscate the money and assets of non-Muslims, redistributing them to Muslims, whom it favored. Labeling Muslims as ‘infiltrators’, the video depicted historical invaders as looters who plundered India's resources and suggested that the Congress party continues to empower individuals from the same community.
The video then communicated that the Congress party’s manifesto is “nothing but Muslim league’s ideology in disguise. If you are a non-Muslim, Congress will snatch your wealth and distribute it to Muslims.” It also slinged the BJP’s official slogan ‘abki baar, 400 paar,’ and called that it was the need of the hour, since Modi only has the “strength to stop the Congress party’s evil plans.”
Similar claims have also been made by several BJP leaders. Recently, Union Minister Anurag Thakur stated that the Congress intends to “Give your children's property to Muslims.”
