In view of the valuable contribution by above directors and based on the positive outcome of the performance evaluation report and recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company recommends the reappointment of the abovementioned directors as independent directors for a second term of five years as proposed in the respective resolution. The independent directors will not be liable to retire by rotation in terms of the provisions under section 152(6) of the Act.

The Company has received declarations from the directors affirming that they meet the criteria of independence under section 149(6) of the Act and under Regulation 16(1) of the SEBI Listing Regulations and are not disqualified from being appointed as independent director in terms of section 164 of the Act.

Details as required under regulation 26(4) and 36(3) of the SEBI Listing Regulations and Secretarial Standard 2 and other applicable provisions are provided in Annexure 1 to the explanatory statement.

Therefore, the Company seeks an enabling approval of the members to access the capital market, through a public issue or on a private placement basis to create, offer, issue and allot equity shares or other securities convertible into equity shares of the Company or any combination thereof in one or more tranches up to an aggregate amount of H 3000 crore.

The price at which the Securities will be issued, will be determined by the Board of the Company in accordance with the applicable law and consultation with the appropriate advisors.

The detailed terms and conditions for the offer of above securities will be determined by the Board in consultation with the lead managers, placement agents and such other agency or agencies as may be required to be consulted by the Company, considering the prevailing market conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the law and other relevant factors and will be in accordance with the terms approved by the shareholders in the proposed resolution.

In case of a qualified institutional placement (QIP), the price at which the Securities shall be allotted to qualified institutional buyers will not be less than the price determined in accordance with the pricing formula in terms of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 (the SEBI ICDR Regulations). The Board may, at its absolute discretion, decide the pricing for the equity shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants in the QIP, subject to the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

In case of issuance of equity shares by way of QIP or issuance of ADRs or GDRs or FCCBs, the relevant date for the purpose of pricing the securities shall be the date of the meeting at which the Board decides to open the issue of such securities.

The relevant date for the minimum issue price for issuance of equity shares upon exercise of the warrants shall be the date of the meeting at which the Board or a Committee of the Board decides to open the issue of warrants.

The proceeds of the proposed issue shall be utilised for any of the aforesaid purposes to the extent permitted by law. The equity shares allotted or arising out of conversion of any securities would be listed. The issue, allotment and conversion would be subject to the availability of regulatory approvals, if any.

The Company may also raise funds through issuance of debt Securities. As per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the Companies are not required to seek shareholders' approval for issuance of debt Securities in case the issue is within the borrowing limit under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013.

None of the promoters and the key managerial personnel of the Company will subscribe to the offer, if made under Chapter VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

The above proposal is in the interest of the Company, and the Board of the Company thus recommends the resolution at Item No. 9 for approval of the members of the Company as special resolution.

None of the directors or key managerial personnel and their relatives are in any way, financially or otherwise, interested or concerned in this resolution, except to the extent of their shareholding in the Company.

Company's cost records for the financial year ending 31st March, 2020 at a remuneration of H 11,00,000/- (Rupees Eleven Lakhs only) plus applicable taxes as well as the reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses on actual basis.
