    Cyrus Mistry after his fallout with Tata
  • Ex-Chairman of Tata Sons Cyrus Mistry is fighting to retain his position as the Chairman and Director on the boards of Tata group companies with the Tatas trying to remove him.

    However, not all independent directors on the boards of the companies agree with the Tatas.

    The Tatas accused Mistry of "drifting away" Tata companies during his tenure while Mistry rebutted the allegations.

  • Controlling stake

  • Cyrus Mistry reportedly wants to protect Tata Group from Ratan Tata and Tata Trusts and safeguard his family's 18.38% holding in Tata Sons.

    Tata Sons doesn't have a controlling stake in several Tata Companies, including Tata Motors and Tata Steel.

    If Mistry doesn't resign as the chairman of such companies, the Tatas will have to fight a long legal battle to remove him.

  • Information

    Tata Sons seeks Mistry's removal

  • Tata Sons had reportedly issued notices for a shareholder meeting in at least five firms - Indian Hotels, Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Chemicals and Tata Consultancy Services - seeking the ex-Chairman Cyrus Mistry's removal from their boards.

  • Tata Sons

    Tata Sons can't afford to have Mistry as Chairman
  • Tata Sons reportedly cannot afford to let Cyrus Mistry continue as the Chairman of other operating Tata companies, although it isn't likely to push for Mistry's exit as director.

    It requires the support of a bigger shareholder group as Mistry would likely push for a vote by shareholders.

    The boards and shareholders of the companies in 2012-13 have approved Mistry's nomination as their Chairman.

  • Supporters

  • Cyrus Mistry has found support from some of the independent directors at Tata Group companies.

    A six-member independent directors' team on the Indian Hotels Company board recommended Mistry for his efforts to turn around the company.

    Also, independent directors at Tata Chemicals, including Nusli Wadia, were clearly on his side while those at Tata Motors and Tata Steels were divided.

  • Quote

    Tata Sons' 9-page letter explaining Mistry's ouster

  • Explaining why they dismissed Cyrus Mistry, Tata Sons stated: "He (Mistry) has cleverly ensured over these years that he would be the only Tata Sons representative on the board of IHCL in order to frustrate Tata Sons' ability to exercise influence and control on IHCL."

  • Mistry's Reaction

    Tata Sons questioned the conduct of independent directors

  • In its letter, Tata Sons also questioned the conduct of independent directors at other Tata companies.

    Reacting and rebutting to Tata Sons' allegations, Cyrus Mistry said questioning the conduct of Nusli Wadia, Nadia Godrej, Deepak Parekh, etc. is truly unfortunate.

    Tata Sons also alleged Mistry was trying to gain control of the group's main companies and regretted its decision to appoint him as chairman.
