Former chairman of all the four companies, and nominee of the Mukesh Ambani-owned RIL, Sandeep Tandon said: "The ownership and transfer of control was done in a very cordial manner. I and L V Merchant have resigned from the boards."

The Boards were reconstituted with Anil Ambani and his nominees being appointed to the companies, carved out from the Reliance Industries as part of the ownership settlement between the two brothers.

"We have comfort letters from the Bombay Stock Exchange that all papers are in order. There is some more information required and it is for the new management to furnish that information and list the companies as soon as possible,” Tandon said, shortly after the Board meetings.

The Mukesh group further stated that it had transferred the entire 12 per cent shares of Kokilaben Ambani to the four new companies. It added that the shares had been transferred as per the Power of Attorney (PoA) given to ADAG under the June 2005 settlement, said.
