The Board of Directors Klass Pack Limited 1101, Crescenzo, G-Block, Opp. MCA Club, Bandra-Kurla Complex, Bandra East, Mumbai – 400 051.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Ref: Abridged Prospectus of Klass Pack Limited Sub: Due Diligence Certificate for the Abridged Prospectus of Klass Pack Limited
This has reference to the Composite Scheme of Arrangement under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 amongst Borosil Limited (“Demerged Company” or “BL”) and Klass Pack Limited (“Resulting Company” or “Transferee Company” or “KPL” or “Company”) and Borosil Technologies Limited (“Transferor Company” or “BTL”) and their respective shareholders and creditors (“Composite Scheme”).
This has further reference to our engagement with the Demerged Company for inter-alia certifying the accuracy and adequacy of disclosures pertaining to the Resulting Company made in the abridged prospectus dated January 03, 2023, prepared by the Resulting Company in terms of the requirement specified in the SEBI Circular No. CFD/DIL3/CIR/2017/21 dated March 10, 2017, as amended from time to time, read with SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL1/CIR/P/2021/0000000665 dated November 23, 2021, as amended from time to time.
We, as SEBI registered Merchant Banker(s) state and confirm as follows in respect of above proposed Composite Scheme:
-
��� We have examined various documents including those relating to litigation, including outstanding litigation, claims and regulatory actions and other material while finalizing the Abridged Prospectus as mentioned above;
-
��� On the basis of such examination and the discussions with the Resulting Company, its directors and other officers, other agencies, and independent verification of the statements concerning the objects of the Composite Scheme and the contents of the documents and other papers furnished by the Resulting Company, WE CONFIRM that:
-
��� the Abridged Prospectus is in conformity with the documents, materials and papers relevant to the Composite Scheme;

-
��� all material legal requirements relating to the Composite Scheme as also the regulations, guidelines, instructions, etc. framed / issued by the SEBI, the Central Government and any other competent authority in this behalf have been duly complied with; and
-
��� the disclosures made in the Abridged Prospectus are true, fair and adequate to enable the investors to make a well informed decision as to the proposed Composite Scheme and such disclosures are in accordance with the requirements provided in SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/SSEP/CIR/P/2022/14 dated February 04, 2022 read with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, to the extent applicable, the Companies Act, 2013, and other applicable provisions / legal requirements.
The above confirmation is based on the information furnished and explanations provided to us by the management of the Resulting Company assuming the same is complete and accurate in all material aspects on an as is basis. We have relied upon financials, information and representations furnished to us on an as is basis and have not carried out an audit of such information.

This certificate is a specific purpose certificate issued in terms of the SEBI requirements and hence, it should not be used for any other purpose or transaction. The certificate is not, nor should it be construed to be, a certification of compliance of the Scheme with the provisions of the applicable Law including company, taxation and securities markets related laws or as regards to any legal implications or issues arising thereon, except for the purpose expressly mentioned herein.
We express no opinion whatsoever and make no recommendation at all as to the Resulting Company’s underlying decision to effect the Composite Scheme or as to how the equity shareholders of the Demerged Company and the unsecured creditors of the Demerged Company, the Resulting Company and the Transferor Company should vote at their respective meetings held in connection with the proposed Composite Scheme. We do not express and should not be deemed to have expressed any views on any other terms of the Composite Scheme or its success. We also express no opinion, and accordingly, accept no responsibility for or as to the financial performance of the Resulting Company, the Transferor Company and the Demerged Company following the consummation of the Composite Scheme. We express no opinion whatsoever and make no recommendations at all (and accordingly take no responsibility) as to whether shareholders / investors should buy, sell or hold any stake in the Demerged Company or the Resulting Company or any of their related parties (holding company/ subsidiaries/ associates, etc.)
