Sunil Kant Munjal of Hero Enterprise as wells Anand Burman and Mohit Burman of Burman family have approached the Board of Fortis Healthcare with a binding offer to invest Rs 1,500 crore directly in the company, a company statement said here on Thursday. This offer would replace the original offer made to the Board on April 12, 2018. On April 12, 2018 Hero Enterprise promoted by Sunil Munjal and the Burman family offered to invest Rs1,250 crore directly in Fortis Healthcare, to bail out the cash-strapped company. The improved binding offer, according to Munjal, is "even simpler, more attractive and faster to implement and without any due diligence." This is a joint bid by Hero Enterprise and the Burman family, both of whom have a long-standing presence and interest in the healthcare sector. "We will invest Rs500 crore through preferential issue of equity shares and Rs1,000 crore through preferential issue of warrants," said Munjal in the letter.  "Our upfront investment into the company will be Rs750 crore. This includes Rs500 crore through preferential issue of equity shares and Rs250 crore, being the amount equivalent to 25 per cent of the consideration for the warrants at the time of allotment," he added. The additional Rs1,000 crore after the initial infusion of Rs500 crore will come at a valuation of Rs161.60 per share. Fortis Healthcare shares closed at Rs148.45, up 2.28% on the NSE.

China and the US have still not held any bilateral talks over trade frictions, China's Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday. The US submitted a file to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on April 17 claiming that they are willing to negotiate over the trade dispute with China, Xinhua news agency reported. The move follows WTO procedures, which order members to respond to a request for settlement from another member within ten days, said MOC spokesperson Gao Feng. Gao reiterated that the US Section 232 and Section 301 measures to slap tariffs on Chinese products seriously violate WTO rules. He said the two sides have not yet held any bilateral talks over the US Section 301 investigation and the proposed US tariff list on Chinese goods. In the light of the trade war situation between US and China, the long term bullish trends of the Indian stock markets have been adversely affected. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
