(i):There are no corresponding provisions that authorize the sale or transfer of unused FSI or its utilization beyond non-contiguous land parcels, therefore no commercial value can be assigned by the Company for unutilised FSI at Vadodara, Gujarat. However, considering that Shreno Limited may utilise higher FSI than its share on its land parcel, a base consideration of 65.45<br>Crore is determined to be paid by Shreno Limited to the Company in accordance with<br>modus prescribed under clause 1(c)(i) above.<br>This consideration is based on the reports obtained from Cushman & Wakefeld, a<br>renowned global real estate services frm and RSBA Advisors, a reputed valuation<br>frm.<br>This consideration is linked to the current guideline rates (also referred to as Jantri<br>rates in Gujarat) for the land parcel. If there is any increase in the guideline rates or if<br>sale of FSI is permitted at the time when Shreno Limited is considered to have utilized<br>the Company’s share of FSI, then the consideration payable by Shreno Limited to the<br>Company will be the higher of the value increased in proportion to the increase in the<br>guideline rates or the market value of such FSI, as arrived by an independent valuer,<br>at arm’s length basis.<br>**For nature of Transaction no.(ii): **Not exceeding10 Crorep.a. |

| 2. | Justifcation as to why the RPT is in the interest of the Company |
For nature of Transaction no. (i):The Company and Shreno Limited own land parcels at certain locations in Vadodara, Gujarat which are adjoining each other (hereinafter referred to as the “Larger Land Parcel”). Hence in order to achieve judicious mixed used development on the Larger Land Parcel, it was considered expedient by both the entities to carry out development in mutual consultation / co-ordination on the Larger Land Parcel. Hence, the Company and Shreno Limited have obtained joint approvals from regulatory authorities and intends to continue with the same with such modifcations, as may be required from time to time. In order to extract optimum utilization of the Larger Land Parcel, the design and development of the project is envisaged in a graded contour structure with premium, low-rise villas and low-rise to mid-rise apartment projects being developed on the land parcel owned by the Company and other high-rise apartment and commercial projects being developed on the land parcel owned by Shreno Limited and with an overall township style design of the Larger Land Parcel. The development is proposed to be carried out in multiple phases with each phase being recognised as an individual project / sub-project / phase by the respective developer entity. Each individual project / sub-project / phase is designed in a manner that it will be situated entirely on the land owned by either one of the entities. The Company and Shreno Limited will independently undertake development of the projects situated within their respective land parcels, including bearing all associated costs and risks on their own. The common roads and open areas within respective land parcels will also be developed individually by the respective entities. Since low-rise to mid-rise projects will be developed on the land belonging to the Company, the overall FSI proposed to be utilized on the land belonging to the Company is lower than the permissible free FSI available of 1.80 on the land parcel. The prevailing regulatory provisions stipulate that the Floor Space Index (FSI) shall be determined by the plot area, and any additional FSI may be allowed exclusively for the respective plot. Moreover, there are no corresponding provisions that authorize the sale or transfer of unused FSI or its utilization beyond non-contiguous land parcels. The unutilized FSI on land parcel owned by the Company is hence proposed to be utilized on the land parcel belonging to Shreno Limited thereby ensuring maximum utilization of the permissible free FSI. If Shreno Limited would have planned to carry out the proposed development on its land parcel independent of the Company, then both the entities would have faced limitations. Shreno Limited would have been required to pay FSI premium to the Corporation for the higher FSI proposed to be utilized on its land parcel and the Company would not have been able to utilize the entire FSI available on its land parcel. Furthermore, the entities would not have been able to design the township style development on the Larger Land Parcel. Further, since the Company is not in a position to utilize the said unutilized FSI, and that it has not incurred any cost towards the same, it would be expedient for Company to accept the same as fair consideration for such FSI. The payment for the same will be made in accordance with modus prescribed under clause 1(c)(i) above. For nature of Transaction no. (ii):The Company may incur certain expenses on behalf of Shreno Limited which are primary to the business operations of the Company or Shreno Limited. The Company would receive reimbursement of the same, from Shreno Limited, at actuals, and on arms-length basis. These transactions are envisaged commercially prudent and in the best interest of the parties. The said transactions are necessitated because of the nature of business of the Company. |

In accordance with the provisions of Regulation 23(1) of SEBI Listing Regulations, 2015, a transaction with a related party shall be considered material, if the transaction(s) to be entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year, exceeds 1,000 Crore or 10% of the annual consolidated turnover of the listed entity as per the last audited financial statements of the listed entity, whichever is lower. Ten percent of the annual consolidated turnover of the Company as per its latest audited financial statements for the financial year 2023-24 is 15.75 crores. Further, in terms of Regulation 23(4) of SEBI Listing Regulations, 2015, effective from 1[st] April, 2022, all Material Related Party Transaction(s) shall require prior approval of shareholders by means of an ordinary resolution. The approval of the shareholders under Regulation 23 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, 2015 is required even if the transactions are in the ordinary course of business and at an arm’s length basis.
In the previous two financial years, the transactions referred above, and their individual values were not crystallized and hence, in compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations, 2015, the Act and rules made thereunder and RPT Policy of the Company, the Company had at its 115[th] Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) held on 20[th] September, 2022 and at its 116[th] AGM held on 10[th] August, 2023 obtained omnibus approval of members for material related party transactions with Shreno Limited. These approvals were valid upto the conclusion of the ensuing AGM. However, given that the nature and value of the individual transactions have now gained significant visibility, the Board of Directors of the Company deemed it appropriate to seek members’ approval for these specific transactions.
Since the transactions entered into together with those proposed to be entered into with Shreno Limited may exceed the threshold of 10% of the annual consolidated turnover of the Company as per the last Audited Financial Statements of the Company, it will be classified as a material related party transaction(s) and hence fresh approval of the Members is sought as per the requirements of Regulation 23 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, 2015.
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company in their respective meetings held on Monday, 13[th] May, 2024, accorded their approval for seeking an enabling approval of the members to the proposed material related party transactions as set out in the Item No. 1 of this Notice.
The Board of Directors recommends the resolution at Item No. 1 of this Notice for your approval.
None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel or their relatives other than Mr. Chirayu Amin, Mrs. Malika Amin and Mr. Udit Amin are in any way concerned or interested in the resolution. However, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 23(4) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, 2015, the resolution above, being a resolution for approval of material related party transaction, all related parties (including the above) shall not vote to approve such resolution.
