The said resolu�on, if passed, shall have the effect of allowing the Board on behalf of the Company to create, offer, issue and allot the securi�es otherwise than on pro-rata basis to QIBs.

Accordingly, the consent of the shareholders is being sought pursuant to the provisions of Sec�on 62 and all other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI ICDR Regula�ons and in terms of the provisions of the SEBI LODR for authorizing the Board to issue, offer and allot equity shares as stated in the resolu�on through QIP in such manner and upon such terms and condi�ons as the Board may in its absolute discre�on deems fit.

  • (ix)

  • (x) the Securi�es alloted shall not be eligible for sale by the allotee for a period of one year from the date of allotment, except on a recognized stock exchange, or except as may be permited under SEBI ICDR Regula�ons from �me to �me; and

  • (xi) the schedule of the QIP will be as determined by the Board or its duly authorized commitee.

Objects of the Issue

The use of proceeds from the Issue may be utilised towards one or more, or in a combination of, for the following: prepayment/ repayment of debt of the Company, capital expenditure, working capital expenditure, general corporate purposes. Several commercial and technical factors including timing of completion of the QIP, financial, market and sectoral conditions, business performance and strategy, competition, interest or exchange rate fluctuations and other external factors, which may not be within the control of the Company, impact the objects of the Issue. The Board or a duly constituted committee shall decide the specific objects towards which the Issue proceeds are deployed which will be specified in the Issue documents.

Basis or justification of pricing: The issue of Securities may be consummated in one or more tranches, at such time or times, at such price, at a discount or premium to market price in such manner and on such terms and conditions as the Board may in its absolute discretion decide taking into consideration prevailing market conditions and other relevant factors and wherever necessary in consultation with the book running lead manager(s) and other agencies and subject to the SEBI ICDR Regulations and other applicable laws, regulations, rules and guidelines. The price at which Securities shall be allotted in the Offering shall not be less than the price determined in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, or a prescribed formula in accordance with the applicable law, as the case maybe Since, the pricing and other terms of the QIP cannot be decided, except at a later stage, an enabling resolution is being passed to give adequate flexibility and discretion to the Board to finalize the terms of the Equity Shares that may be issued to the QIBs (as defined in Regulation 2(1)(ss) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations) in the QIP in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. The Board in accordance with applicable law and in consultation with lead managers, may offer a discount of not more than 5% or such percentage as permitted under applicable law on the floor price determined pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations (i.e. not less than the average of the weekly high and low of the closing prices of the equity shares quoted on the stock exchange during the two weeks preceding the ‘ Relevant Date ’).

Hence, the Board of Directors of the Company recommend passing of this resolu�on as men�oned under Item No.3 of this No�ce for approval as a Special Resolu�on.
