The controversial Rs 2,058 crore deal under which Abu Dhabi based Etihad will hold 24% stake in Jet Airways yesterday got the approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) with major riders to maintain effective Indian control over the airline.
Under the conditions set by FIPB, Jet will have to seek prior government approval to make any changes in the Share Holders Agreement (SHA) with Etihad or any change in share-holding of the company.
The conditions also include that all shareholder disputes and disputes under SHA would have to be adjudicated under Indian law as opposed to English law as was proposed in the revised SHA submitted just before the FIPB meeting. Any other arbitration can happen under English law.
Etihad would now have two seats on the 12-member Jet Board instead of three previously proposed. The Indian partner, Naresh Goyal, besides appointing four board members, would have the right to nominate the Chairman, whereas Etihad would appoint a Vice Chairman.
The 12-member Board would have four Directors from Jet, two from Etihad and six independent directors.
