1. The values are actuals upto June 2025 and estimates for July 2025 to August 2025.

2. Royalty expense is wholly attributed to estimated volume in manufacturing activities.

3. The proposed increase in cost of purchase of materials from August 2025 to August 2026 is attributable to growth in business volumes, supply chain adjustments and probable changes in the sources of supply.

4. The reduction in the value of goods purchased for FY 24-25 compared to FY 23-24 is attributed to the transition of Health Carerelated purchases to Solventum Inc, which, effective April 1, 2024, is no longer a related party for the Company.

5. (iv) At Sl. (iii), Column F, the values shown against various categories of the nature of transactions are indicative and may vary inter se. The approval of Members is being sought for the total value of related party transactions specified in the resolution with 3M Company USA, and transactions will remain within such overall values proposed for approval of the Members.

The intent is to separate the payment of royalty from the other transactions which pertain to ongoing purchase and sale of goods, income from ongoing contract research activities, and cost recharges from ongoing business operations.

7. (vi) Members may kindly note that in terms of SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/ CMD1/CIR/P/2022/40 dated March 30, 2022 and SEBI/ HO/CFD/ CMD1/ CIR/P/2022/47 dated April 8, 2022, the approval of Members is sought to the aforesaid material related party transactions for a period commencing from 38[th] AGM to 39[th] AGM of the Company.

8. (vii) Information on the Intellectual Property agreement entered by the Company with 3M Company, USA, basis for Royalty and benefits derived by the Company from the Intellectual Property Agreement and Royalty payment:

9. a. 3M Company, USA has granted the Company access to 3M Group’s synergies, state of art products and technologies, competencies and “3M” and other 3M-owned brands which are very critical and essential for the Company to carry out its business operations and maximise its growth and performance in an increasingly global and competitive business environment.

10. b. The Intellectual Property agreement with 3M allows the Company to access and rights to manufacture using the parent company’s licensed technologies, product portfolio and the “3M” brand. The parent company, 3M Company, USA and 3M Group has a broad portfolio of products across multiple technology platforms protected by Intellectual Property Rights. 3M Company, USA owns 49 technology platforms, which cover platforms such as adhesives, abrasives, ceramics, nanotechnology and several more. 3M Company, USA and its affiliates invested about USD 1.1 Billion in Research and Development in 2024. The consistent investment in R&D over the years helped produce 135,077 patents in the company’s history, and a steady stream of unique products for customers that are accessible to 3M India. New products have been introduced in all the business segments.

36

• c. The “3M” brand was ranked among the top 100 list of global best brands ranking, by Interbrand in 2023. Further, 3M Company, USA along with its global affiliates, is highly regarded in the business world as well as with stakeholders. The 3M Group has received several global accolades and recognition. To name a few, 3M Company was recognised as:

  1. 50 Most Innovative Companies, by Boston Consulting Group

  2. Top 100 Global Innovators 2023 by Clarivate

  3. Brands That Matter 2023 by Fast Company.

  4. World’s Most Trustworthy Companies 2023 by Newsweek.

  5. Top 100 Global Leaders in Sustainable Innovation 2023, by LexisNexis.

• (viii) Such global recognition earned over several years, gives the 3M brand a strong value in the marketplace, which the Company benefits from. Access to and use of the “3M” brand has benefited the Company to gain business and customers for its innovative products and deliver business growth.

• (ix) As a result of the IP agreement, the Company has significantly increased its manufacturing footprint in India over the past several years.

• 63% of the incremental growth delivered over the last six years was contributed by the increase in manufacturing activities. This increase in manufacturing is dependent on access to 3M Company’s intellectual property, product portfolios and the 3M brand.

• As at March 31, 2014 locally manufactured products contributed 52.9% to total sales. The contribution of locally manufactured products increased to 59.4% of total sales as at March 31, 2025. During the same period, the Company’s profit before tax increased from 3.9% to sales in FY 13-14 to 17.4% in FY 24-25. This represents a compounded growth rate in the value of profit before tax by 24.56%.

• (x) Effective April 1, 2023, the Company does not pay any royalty on trading sales and royalty are paid on sales of manufactured products only, on net sales value. This change in royalty arrangement aligned the royalty payment closely with the increase in the mix and sales of locally manufactured products and aligned 3M India with 3M Group’s royalty arrangement across entities/ affiliates in the Group. Additionally, this benefits the Company in the medium to long-term to increase the local manufacturing footprint and build sustainable competitive moats in the marketplace.

• (xi) The Company is strengthening the Profit Before Tax (PBT) since the Company is able to penetrate better by accessing the technologies of 3M which is clearly seen in PBT growth and topline growth.

• (xii) Payment of Royalty to parent company is on the following categories:

• a. Manufacturing & Services: 3.25% on sale of manufactured products, consistent with previous approvals. There has been no change in the royalty rate payable compared to previous year. The current approval sought is for ` 97 Crores, covering royalties for these products and services.

• b. Other Software: 17.5% on net sales. Historically, there have been no payments under “Other Software”. Transactions are not anticipated, and no specific approval has been sought for this category.

• (xii) The terms and conditions and the rates of royalty remain unchanged from April 1, 2024 and consistent with the previous year’s approval.

• (xiii) Effective April 01, 2024 Parent 3M Company, USA has spun off Healthcare Business to Solventum Inc, USA which is not a related party. Accordingly the value of royalty proposed to be paid to 3M Company, USA does not include royalty payable on Health Care business.

• (xiii) For FY 23-24, the royalty paid was 76.76 crores (1.95 % to sales) and for FY 24-25, the royalty paid was 75.48 crores (1.70 % to sales).

• (xiv) Although approval was sought last year for transactions with two entities - 3M Company, USA and 3M Innovation Singapore Pte Limited - the actual value of transactions with 3M Innovation Singapore Pte Limited did not exceed the materiality threshold. Furthermore, the estimated value of transactions with 3M Innovation Singapore Pte Limited from 38[th] AGM to 39[th] AGM is also unlikely to exceed this threshold. Therefore, only the transaction with 3M Company USA, considered material, is being proposed to sharehodlers for the period from 38[th] AGM to 39[th] AGM.

• (xv) Transactions relating to Corporate Management Fee:

• a. The Company has established an intercompany services agreement with 3M Global Service Center Management Company, USA (“3M GSCMC”), aimed at leveraging technical expertise, usage of various IT platforms, market intelligence to drive business growth, sales strategy, product customisation support based on business needs, technical support and product training and familiarisation to end customers, transaction processing in various areas such as sourcing, accounting, IT and wide range of support services, thus benefiting from the operational capabilities and cost efficiencies through economies of scale. These services are competitively provided, optimising cost efficiencies and capitalising on 3M’s expertise in international business management and diverse product portfolios.

37

• b. Under the 3M global support services arrangement the Company receives and also renders support services.

• c. The services received and rendered are in the nature of:

• Laboratory, Technical assistance and Manufacturing

• Selling and Marketing

• Strategic and Managerial

• Information Technology

• Routine Administration

• Foreign Services Employees Expenses and

• Outsourced Services of Transaction Processing on competitive conditions.

• d. Basis for Corporate Management Fee:

• The Company incurs support service charges in the mentioned areas, calculated based on the hours dedicated by employees from other 3M Group companies to 3M India.

• The cost allocation of the common IT platforms (such as ERP, office, HR, security applications etc.), infrastructure and security ecosystem expenses housed globally, incurred by 3M group and being utilised by 3M India are allocated on the basis of sales ratio / utilisation.

• Globally, 3M operates captive shared service centers responsible for handling a spectrum of transactional activities, including Source to Pay, Record to Report, HR, and Customer Service. For 3M India, these essential activities are managed by outsourcing to 3M’s Shared Service Centers. Costs incurred in this process are meticulously allocated to 3M India, based on actual time spent and capacity utilisation.

• On similar lines 3M India also recharges for the services rendered by 3M India to other 3M global entities based on the time spent.

• Therefore, resulting in both recharge of expenses by 3M India to 3M GSCMC accounted as revenue from Operation (refer note 18 of Financial Statements and recharge of expenses by 3M GSCMC to the Company, accounted under ‘Other expenses

– Corporate Management Fee’ (refer note 25 of Financial Statements).

• It is pertinent to note that, while 3M India pays a Corporate Management Fee of 2.79% of revenues from operations for FY 24-25, if the same is adjusted for similar recharge from 3M India to 3M GSCMC, then the cost of net Corporate Management Fee will be 2.48% of the revenue from operations. Further, if the cost of transactional process outsourcing (which is 0.11% of sales) is adjusted being a direct cost, the net cost of Corporate Management Fee to revenue from operation will be only 2.37%.

• e. The Company’s continued arrangement with 3M Global Service Center Management Company, USA includes services like sales strategy development, product application engineering, technical support, and transaction processing across multiple areas. By doing so, 3M India benefits from operational efficiencies and cost saving owing to economies of scale. This partnership has allowed 3M India to lower its expenses on the back of total sales, thereby leading to improved profitability.

• f. The Corporate Management Fee as a percentage to sales has been reducing over the last 3 years, while contributing to the Company’s growth.

• g. The above services are availed on a continuous basis and benefit the Company to continue delivering consistent, competitive and profitable growth.

• h. It is clarified that the proposal in Resolution No. 5 is exclusively for the payment of royalty to 3M Company, USA, and does not cover the corporate management fee. The Corporate Management Fee is paid to 3M GSCMC, and the combined value of all related party transactions with GSCMC does not exceed the materiality threshold. Therefore, the proposals for approval of shareholder in this notice do not include the Corporate Management Fee.

• i. Details of the proposed related party transactions between the Company, 3M Company, USA, including the information required to be disclosed in the Explanatory Statement pursuant to the SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/ CIR/P/015 dated November 11, 2024, are as follows:

Item No. 6: Appointment of Secretarial Auditor.

As per Section 204 of the Companies Act, 2013 (effective April 1, 2013), every listed company is required to include a Secretarial Audit Report – prepared by a Company Secretary in Practice – in its Annual Report. This report must follow the format prescribed under the Act. SEBI reinforced this requirement through a circular dated February 8, 2019, which introduced Regulation 2A to the SEBI Listing Regulations. This regulation mandates listed companies to include a Secretarial Audit Report from the financial year ending March 31, 2019, onwards, in the prescribed format. Further more, as per the revised Regulation 24A of the SEBI Listing Regulations

• Every listed company must conduct a Secretarial Audit through a Peer-Reviewed Company Secretary.

• The company may appoint either an individual Company Secretary in Practice or a firm of Company Secretaries in Practice for this audit.

• An individual may serve as Secretarial Auditor for only one term of five consecutive years, while a firm can serve for up to two such terms.

39

• The appointment of the Secretarial Auditor must be approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Further, the Auditor cannot be removed before the end of their term unless such removal is also approved by shareholders at the AGM.

Based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has approved the appointment of Messrs. V Sreedharan & Associates, Company Secretaries in Practice, bearing Unique Identification No. P1985KR14800, as the Secretarial Auditors of the Company for a term of 5 (five) consecutive years commencing on April 1, 2025, and ending on March 31, 2030, covering audits for FY 25-26 through FY 29-30.
