    Strategic Reorganisation Explained

    Lemon Tree Hotels will be an independent and purely asset-light hotel management company and a brand management company under the scheme as passed by the Company’s Board of Directors. Lemon Tree’s focus will continue on all aspects of Hotel Management, Franchise Management, Digital Capabilities, and Loyalty Programs.

    Fleur will be the only Hotel Ownership and Development Company within the Lemon Tree Group from this point forward as a result of this reorganisation. As a part of this restructure, Fleur Hotels will receive the transfer of 12 hotels currently held by Lemon Tree Hotels. However, there will be an additional hotel in Shimla that is currently under construction, which will also be transferred to Fleur.

    Any future development and financing of previously constructed hotels will now be managed by Fleur. All of the wholly owned subsidiary companies that previously operated in Lemon Tree's network will either merge into Lemon Tree or Fleur.

    The effective date of the scheme is set to be on or about 1 April 2026. The plan is that all activities related to the scheme, including obtaining all required regulatory approval and developing Fleur as an independent company, will occur within 12-15 months after the approval date.

    Warburg Pincus Investment Details

    Warburg Pincus, through Coastal Cedar Investment B.V., an affiliate of Warburg Pincus, is acquiring APG Strategic Real Estate Pool N.V.'s 41.09% ownership interest in Fleur Hotels and will invest as much as ₹960 crore of new capital in Fleur Hotels in phases.

    This transaction will create a new ownership structure for Fleur Hotels once the transaction has been finalised. Lemon Tree Hotels' existing ownership interest in Fleur Hotels will be 32.96%, Lemon Tree Hotels will hold 41.03% directly in Fleur Hotels, and Warburg Pincus will have 26.01%, excluding any effect from their primary investment dilution.

    Impact on Business Operations

    Informed by the Post Reorganisation plan, Fleur Hotels expects that their overall hotel portfolio (owned) will grow from 24 properties, containing a total of 3,993 keys, to 41 hotels totaling 5,813 keys after the Reorganisation is completed. Going forward, Fleur Hotels will take the lead in acquiring new hotels and developing new projects. Lemon Tree Hotels will maintain the current management and franchise relationship with the hotels owned by Fleur, while simultaneously expanding the portfolio of properties that are managed by them (Lemon Tree Hotels) for third parties, both within India as well as internationally.

    This new organisational structure allows Lemon Tree Hotels to continue to expand the enterprise that they own and manage in the future, whilst allowing Fleur to concentrate its resources on acquiring funds for new investments in Hotel assets.
