Chennai Super Kings to be ransferred to new subsidiary of India Cements

Having been informed by the Supreme
Court that he cannot contest Board of
Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
elections until he gives up ownership of
Indian Premier League (IPL) team Chennai
Super Kings (CSK), N Srinivasan-led India
Cements will now transfer CSK to a new
subsidiary, Chennai Super Kings Cricket
Ltd.

In a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE), India Cements said it has
completed the required documentation for
transfer of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
franchise to Chennai Super Kings Cricket
Ltd. "The board will consider at the
meeting on February 11, 2015
reorganisation proposals relating to the
said subsidiary," it said.

Earlier on September 26, 2014, the board
of directors of the company had approved
the proposal to demerge CSK into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the company,
by transferring its net assets at cost. It
had also stated that the effective date of
transfer will be January 1, 2015.

Last month, a Supreme Court bench of
Justice TS Thakur and Justice FMI
Kalifulla had assailed the amendment in
BCCI rules permitting cricket
administrators, like Srinivasan, to have
any commercial interest by owing teams
in IPL and Champions League, and said it
would be conflict of interest.

The apex court had also directed that
BCCI elections be held in six weeks
"subject to the condition that no one who
has any commercial interest in BCCI
events (including N Srinivasan) shall be
eligible for contesting the elections for
any post whatsoever."

The rider in the judgement made it difficult
for Srinivasan to become BCCI president,
unless he quickly relinquished his interest
in the CSK.

Rajasthan Royals to play home games in Mumbai and Ahmedabad

The 2015 edition of the Indian Premier League
(IPL) will be played April 8-May 24, its governing
council announced Tuesday. "The 2015 season of
the IPL will commence Wednesday, April 8 and
conclude Sunday, May 24," Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Sanjay Patel
said in a release.

The Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai is likely to
host a few home games for Rajasthan Royals,
even as the franchise will play most of their
home matches in Ahmedabad, like last season.
Royals had no option of hosting home matches
in Jaipur as the Rajasthan Cricket Association is
still suspended by BCCI.

Along with the 2015 edition, the governing
council also announced the dates for the next
two seasons, 2016 and 2017 respectively. While
the 2016 edition will be played April 8-May 29,
the 2017 edition is slated for April 5-May 21.

Novi Digital Entertainment Private Limited, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Star India Private
Limited, has secured certain media rights
relating to the IPL for a cumulative Rs 302.2
crore over a three-season period, the cricket
Board announced.

Patel said these media rights had been bid for
and won for the 2015,'16 and '17 seasons for a
cumulative fee "which is substantially higher
than the fee of the previous rights period," after
the Board's Marketing Committee meeting on
Tuesday. Pleased with the outcome he said that
the cumulative reserve price had been set for Rs
120 crore.

Bids from three entities were received - Times
Internet Limited, Multi Screen Media Private
Limited and Novi Digital Entertainment Private
Limited.

The Marketing Committee, after following the
due tender process, awarded these media rights
(internet and mobile all over the world barring
USA) to the subsidiary of Star, according to
Patel. It was learnt that the other two bids were
for Rs 285 crore (MSM) and Rs 191.8 crore
(Times). It was also known that the digital rights
for USA would be decided in the next six weeks.

"Our partnership with Novi Digital Entertainment
Pvt. Ltd augurs well for the Pepsi IPL, as well as
the millions of fans who follow the tournament
and we are delighted to commence an
association with the organisation whose bid was
found to be the most deserving," said Patel.
