ANNEXURE TO NOTICE EXPLANATORY STATEMENT (PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013)

In terms of the provisions of Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”), Secretarial Standard on General Meetings (“SS-2”) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“ SEBI Listing Regulations ”) read with SEBI Circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/CFD-PoD-2/P/CIR/2025/93, dated June 26, 2025 with respect to revised Industry Standards on “Minimum Information to be provided to the audit committee and shareholders for approval of Related Party Transactions” (“SEBI Industry Standards on RPTs”), the following statement sets out the material facts relating to agenda items, as set out in this Notice.

Item Nos. 1 and 2

The provisions of Regulation 23 of SEBI Listing Regulations mandate prior approval of shareholders of a listed entity by means of an ordinary resolution for all material related party transactions (“ RPTs” ) and subsequent material modifications as defined by the audit committee, even if such transactions are in the ordinary course of business of the company and at arm’s length basis.

Effective from April 1, 2022, a transaction with a related party shall be considered as material if the transaction(s) to be entered into, either individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year, exceed(s) ₹ 1,000 crore, or 10% of the annual consolidated turnover as per the last audited financial statements of the listed entity, whichever is lower.

Further, Regulation 23(2)(c) of the SEBI Listing Regulations states that a related party transaction to which the subsidiary of a listed entity is a party but the listed entity is not a party , shall require prior approval of the audit committee of the listed entity if the value of such transaction whether entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year, exceeds ten per cent of the annual standalone turnover, as per the last audited financial statements of the subsidiary . Further, all such material related party transactions and subsequent material modifications shall require prior approval of the shareholders through resolutions.

On August 16, 2024, the Company acquired Penna Cement Industries Limited (PCIL) to expand its network and grow cement manufacturing capacity. Post acquisition, the Company executed a Master Supply Agreement and Master Service Agreement with PCIL. Similar agreements were also executed between PCIL and ACC Limited (ACC), a listed subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, and with prior approval of audit committees of the relevant companies, PCIL entered into various RPTs with the Company and ACC, during FY 2024-25. During FY 2024-25, PCIL’s clinker and cement capacity utilization were 40% and 30%, respectively. Subsequent to acquisition, with the supervision, guidance and support of the Company, PCIL’s clinker and cement capacity utilization have increased to 90% and 60%, respectively. As such, during FY 2025-26, the related party transactions between PCIL and the Company as well as between PCIL and ACC are projected to increase and cross the materiality thresholds.
