INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENABLE E-VOTING TO ALL THE DEMAT ACCOUNT HOLDERS, BY WAY OF A SINGLE LOGIN CREDENTIAL, THROUGH THEIR DEMAT ACCOUNTS/ WEBSITES OF DEPOSITORIES/DEPOSITORY PARTICIPANTS

Pursuant to SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD/CIR/P/2020/242 dated 09.12.2020, under Regulation 44 of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, listed entities are required to provide remote e-voting facility to its shareholders, in respect of all shareholders’ resolutions. However, it has been observed that the participation by the public non-institutional shareholders/retail shareholders is at a negligible level.

Currently, there are multiple e-voting service providers (ESPs) providing e-voting facility to listed entities in India. This necessitates registration on various ESPs and maintenance of multiple user IDs and passwords by the shareholders.

In order to increase the efficiency of the voting process, pursuant to a public consultation, it has been decided to enable e-voting to all the demat account holders, by way of a single login credential, through their demat accounts/ websites of Depositories/ Depository Participants. Demat account holders would be able to cast their vote without having to register again with the ESPs, thereby, not only facilitating seamless authentication but also enhancing ease and convenience of participating in e-voting process.

In terms of SEBI circular dated December 9, 2020 on e-Voting facility provided by Listed Companies, Individual shareholders holding securities in demat mode are allowed to vote through their demat account maintained with Depositories and Depository Participants. Shareholders are advised to update their mobile number and email Id in their demat accounts in order to access e-Voting facility. Pursuant to the aforesaid SEBI Circular, login method for Individual shareholders holding securities in demat mode is given below:

STATEMENT SETTING OUT MATERIAL FACTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102(1) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 In respect of Item No. 1

Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar Limited (The Company/BHSL) entered into a Master Restructuring Agreement on December 30, 2014 (“MRA”) with the lenders (collectively referred to as “JLF Lenders”), in accordance with the applicable framework and guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) for the restructuring of the various loans and financial assistance granted by the JLF Lenders in accordance with a Restructuring Scheme approved by the JLF Lenders under the Joint Lenders Forum.
