EXPLANATORY STATEMENT: As required by Section 102(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, the following Explanatory Statement sets out material facts relating to the business specified in this Notice. ITEM NO.1 As part of the Company’ strategy, Company is always evaluating potential targets to grow inorganically and towards this end, Company is exploring the possibility of certain acquisitions which will be funded by the proceeds of the Issue. Such acquisitions, if undertaken, are aimed at strengthening (A) horizontal capability such as Cyber Security, Data services and Cloud Operations; (B) alliance partnership such as Service Now, Microsoft etc. and (C) existing verticals such as Banking and Travel and build new verticals such as Retail, Healthcare and Hi-Tech. Coforge believes in being conservative in terms of the valuations it pays for acquisitions, and this is evidenced by the acquisitions done by Coforge historically.

In so far as organic growth is concerned, the Company has reiterated its Annual Growth guidance for FY24. The funds so raised through Issue are not be proposed to be utilised for any repayment of debt. Further details of the utilisation of funds raised pursuant to the Issue will be decided by the Board at their discretion and will be disclosed in Issue related documents in accordance with applicable law. Given the cost of servicing debt and ease of raising funds, issuance of equity shares would be better suited to fund Company’s potential acquisitions. Shareholders should note that this is an enabling approval to ensure preparedness of the Company. Such approval will provide the Company with a competitive advantage to swiftly move to completing acquisitions in bidding situations.
