Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On December 30, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), India Globalization Capital, Inc. (“IGC” or the “Company”) closed on the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of H&F Ironman Limited, a Hong Kong company (“HK Ironman”) and the 95% owner of H&F Venture Trade Ltd. aka Linxi HeFei Economic and Trade Co. aka Linxi H&F Economic and Trade Co. (“PRC Ironman”) (the “Acquisition”).  The purchase price for the Acquisition consisted of 31,500,000 shares of common stock of IGC issued to HK Ironman shareholders plus and an amount of $1 million to be paid to HK Ironman stockholders within 30 days of the Closing Date and on satisfaction of the post-closing conditions.  In addition, the consideration under the Stock Purchase Agreement includes certain contingent payments by IGC to HK Ironman stockholders, as follows (i) $1.5 million in cash or stock, which is contingent on IGC achieving earnings growth of at least 30% from the previous year’s closing audit (i.e., March 31, 2011); and (ii) $1.5 million in cash or stock, which is contingent on IGC achieving earnings growth of at least 30% from the previous year’s closing audit (i.e., March 31, 2012).  If either of the foregoing annual targets were missed, there would still be a payout of $3 million provided IGC achieves a cumulative earnings growth of 69% between fiscal years 2011 and 2013. 

The terms and conditions of the Acquisition were set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, as previously reported on October 19, 2011, on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The issuance of the 31,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition would cause the issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s pre-issuance outstanding shares.  Therefore, under NYSE Amex rules, the issuance of IGC common stock required stockholder approval prior to their issuance.  

As previously reported on December 30, 2011, on a Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of the 31,500,000 shares, among other proposals, at a special meeting of the stockholders.
 
The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated by reference to Annex A of the Definitive Proxy Statement of Form DEF 14A of India Globalization Capital, Inc., dated as of October 14, 2011 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2011 (Commission File No.: 001-32830)).

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information set forth in Item 2.01 above with respect to shares of IGC common stock issued pursuant to the Acquisition is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.  These shares were issued in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by (i) Section 4(2) thereof because the issuance did not involve a public offering, (ii) the status of the recipients of the purchasers as an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D and (iii) Regulation S because the offers and sales were made outside of the United States of America to non-“U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act.
