In terms of the applicable provisions of the Chapter V of ICDR Regulations (as amended on July 25, 2022), the minimum price for the preferential issue of each equity share to be issued shall be a price, being higher of the following:

  • a) the 90 (ninety) trading days’ volume weighted average price of the related equity shares quoted on the recognised stock exchange, preceding the Relevant Date, i.e. INR 1,187.04/- (Indian Rupees One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Seven and Zero Four Paise only) per equity share; or

Accordingly, in terms of the Regulation 164(1) of the ICDR Regulations, the minimum issue price is INR 1,228.61/- (Indian Rupees One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Eight and Six One Paise only) per share.

The price per CCDs to be issued pursuant to the preferential issue is fixed at INR 1,230.00/- (Indian Rupees One Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty only), being not less than the floor price computed in accordance with Chapter V of the ICDR Regulations.

Further, the Company confirms that the Articles do not require obtaining valuation report from an independent valuer.

  • o. Basis and justification on which price has been arrived at along with the pricing certificate from the Practicing Company Secretary

The equity shares of Company are listed on the Stock Exchanges.

Also, as the Company is a listed company, the valuation report from any independent registered valuer is not required in terms of second proviso of Rule 13 (1) of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014. Further, since the preferential issue of CCDs will not lead to change in control and no Investor or the Investors acting in concert, will be allotted more than 5% (five percent) of the post issue fully diluted share capital of the Company, therefore, the requirement of a valuation report from an independent registered valuer in terms of Regulation 166A of the ICDR Regulations, is not applicable for this issue.
