ANNEXURE TO THE NOTICE OF THE POSTAL BALLOT
Explanatory Statement Pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 22 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014
Item No.1: Approval of Material Related Party Transaction(s) of BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV (BVMBV), a step down wholly owned subsidiary of BPCL, with respect to Area-1 Offshore Mozambique Project - AssetCo Structure
Bharat PetroResources Limited (BPRL), wholly owned subsidiary of BPCL, entered Mozambique Offshore Area 1, Rovuma Basin in the early exploration phase in the year 2008 through its Netherlands based step-down subsidiary company, BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV (BVMBV) and holds 10% Participating Interest (PI) in the concession.
TotalEnergies EP Mozambique Area 1 Limitada (TEPMA1), a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of TotalEnergies, is the Operator with 26.5% PI and the other Concessionaires are Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area 1 Limited (20%), ENH Rovuma Área Um, S.A. (15%), ONGC Videsh Rovuma Limited (10%), Beas Rovuma Energy Mozambique Limited (60:40 JV of ONGC Videsh Ltd. and Oil India Limited (OIL) - 10% PI) and PTTEP Mozambique Area 1 Limited (8.5%). Since, ENH is being 'carried'/funded by all other Concessionaires, the Paying Interest of BPRL works out to be 11.765%.
The Area 1 consortium took Final Investment Decision (FID) on 18th June 2019 for the development of the Golfinho-Atum (G-A) field (one of the five discovered natural gas fields in Area 1 Offshore Block in Mozambique) through construction and operation of two onshore LNG trains of total capacity 13.12 mmtpa. To fund the initial G-A development, Area 1 consortium has finalized project financing under arrangements with a debt cap of USD 16,000 million from Export Credit Agencies (ECAs)/ African Development Bank (AfDB) / Commercial Banks. In the above background and for the two LNG train project, under the current commercial structure, the Area 1 concessionaires shall develop, own, operate and maintain the Golfinho-Atum two LNG train project infrastructure. To align with customary international project financing structures, the current structure for the two LNG train project is being revised.
The Operator, i.e., TotalEnergies has proposed to revise this structure by incorporation of two additional on-shore Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) in Mozambique i.e. Moz LNG1 HoldCo Limitada (Moz HoldCo) and Moz LNG1 AssetCo Limitada (AssetCo). by Area 1 consortium with direct and indirect ownership of the Area 1 concessionaires in these new SPEs respectively, being stapled to their respective PI in the project.
Under the revised structure, Area-1 concessionaires shall hold Moz HoldCo in proportion to their PI. AssetCo will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Moz HoldCo which will own, develop, and operate G-A project infrastructure for the two LNG train. To achieve the revised structure as mentioned above, Area-1 concessionaires shall transfer their proportionate Golfinho-Atum development related assets initially to AssetCo as "Assets to Equity" transfer followed by transfer of "Equity in AssetCo" by Concessionaires to Moz HoldCo against its equity. The Assets to Equity transfer between BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV and AssetCo followed by transfer of Equity in AssetCo by BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV to Moz Holdco against its equity, being material in nature, falls under the category of Material Related Party Transaction and requires prior approval of shareholders under Regulation 23 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Further, the proposed transaction does not have any adverse tax implications.
Due to delay in lenders' approval for project financing, AssetCo structure implementation could not be executed in Financial Year 2025-26 and the transaction has spilled over further, necessitating fresh RPT approvals from Shareholders.
The restructuring plan will result in alignment of commercial structure as per the customary international project financing structures and will also result in:-
- Appropriate accounting treatment;
- Regulatory/debt management advantages; and
- Increased flexibility for future development of Project.
The above-mentioned transactions are in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length basis and reviewed and recommended by the Board for placing it for approval of the shareholders in compliance with the provisions of the Act/ Listing Regulations/ Related Party Transaction Policy of the Company.
The Board has reviewed the certificate provided by a Whole Time Director and the CFO of the Company as required under the RPT Industry Standards.

Item No.2: Approval of Material Related Party Transaction(s) with respect to Area-1 Offshore Mozambique Project - Debt Service Undertaking
Bharat PetroResources Limited (BPRL), wholly owned subsidiary of BPCL, entered Mozambique Offshore Area 1, Rovuma Basin in the early exploration phase in 2008, through its Netherlands based step-down subsidiary company BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV and holds 10% Participating Interest (PI) in the concession.
TotalEnergies EP Mozambique Area 1 Limitada (TEPMA1), a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of TotalEnergies, is the Operator with 26.5% PI and the other Concessionaires are Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area 1 Limited (20%), ENH Rovuma Área Um, S.A. (15%), ONGC Videsh Rovuma Limited (10%), Beas Rovuma Energy Mozambique Limited (60:40 JV of ONGC Videsh and OIL- 10% PI) and PTTEP Mozambique Area 1 Limited (8.5%). Since, ENH is being 'carried'/funded by all other Concessionaires, the Paying Interest of BPRL works out to be 11.765%.
The Mozambique LNG project is being developed through limited recourse Project Financing with available commitments of $15.4$ Bn from Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) and Commercial Banks.
In the current commercial holding structure of the Project, each of the concessionaires, including BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV, have shareholding interest in Moz LNG1 Holding Company Ltd. ("HoldCo"), a company organized in Abu Dhabi Global Market in proportion to their respective PI. HoldCo currently has two wholly owned subsidiaries, namely, Mozambique LNG1 Company Pte. Ltd. ("Seller SPE") and Moz LNG1 Financing Company Ltd. ("Offshore Borrower SPE"). Seller SPE is incorporated in Singapore for selling of LNG produced from the Project. Offshore Borrower SPE is incorporated in Abu Dhabi Global Market, UAE, to borrow funds from offshore Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) & Commercial Banks.
Besides the ECAs and Commercial Banks, African Development Bank (the "AfDB"), has also committed to lend to the Project; however, the AfDB is not mandated to provide loans to the Offshore Borrower SPE as the Offshore Borrower SPE is an entity incorporated in the UAE (outside Africa). Accordingly, the concessionaires have also incorporated Moz LNG1 Co-Financing Company Lda ("Onshore Borrower") in the Republic of Mozambique, which is held by HoldCo, for availing loans from AfDB.
The project finance is backed by Debt Service Undertaking (DSU) provided by Sponsor companies (being parent/ultimate parent companies) for construction period of the project. The DSU is a several guarantee of the loan obligations owed by the Borrowers to project financing lenders, pro-rata to the participating interest of concessionaire entity of such sponsor.
Transaction to be entered into by the Company with Moz LNG1 Financing Company Ltd and Moz LNG1 Co-Financing Company LDA is in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length basis and reviewed and recommended by the Board for placing it for approval of the shareholders in compliance with the provisions of the Act/ Listing Regulations/ Related Party Transaction Policy of the Company. The Board has reviewed the certificate provided by a Whole Time Director and the CFO of the Company as required under the RPT Industry Standards.
The existing DSU was effective from 15th July 2020 till 28th February 2029. It is proposed to extend the validity of the existing DSU provided by BPCL towards its participating interest of 10% of BPRL Ventures Mozambique B.V. in Area-1 Mozambique for financing its investments in Area-1 Mozambique upto 31st December 2033 as per the project financing arrangements. The amendment to the guarantee support provided by BPCL in Area-1 Project financing being material in nature, falls under the category of Related Party Transaction and requires prior approval of shareholders under Regulation 23 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
