ITEM NO. 1
INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL AND CONSEQUENT ALTERATION TO THE CAPITAL CLAUSE OF THE MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION
Presently, the Authorised Share Capital of the Company is INR 77,00,00,000/- (Indian Rupees Seventy Seven Crore only) divided into 38,50,00,000 (Indian Rupees Thirty-Eight Crore Fifty Lakh only) equity shares of INR 2/- (Indian Rupees Two only) each.

Considering the size and operations of the Company and in order to facilitate any further capital issuances (including the issuance of the equity shares of the Company pursuant to the preferential issue by way of a swap as set forth in Item No. 2 of this explanatory statement), the Board of Directors at its meeting held on December 26, 2025, have recommended to increase the Authorised Share Capital to INR 1,02,00,00,000 (Indian Rupees One Hundred and Two Crore only) divided into 51,00,00,000 (Fifty One Crore only) equity shares of INR 2/- (Indian Rupees Two only) each by creation of additional 12,50,00,000 (Twelve Crore Fifty Lac only) equity shares of INR 2/- (Indian Rupees Two only) each.

Accordingly, approval of Members is sought for passing the Ordinary Resolution set out at Item No. 1 of the accompanying Notice.
None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel of the Company and their relatives are concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution set out at Item No. 1.

ITEM NO. 2 ISSUANCE OF EQUITY SHARES OF THE COMPANY ON A PREFERENTIAL BASIS PURSUANT TO A SHARE SWAP ARRANGEMENT
The Company intends to execute an acquisition by entering into a share subscription and share purchase agreement (“ SSPA ”) with Encora US Holdco, Inc., Encora Holdings Ltd. (Cayman), Encora Holdco Ltd. (UK), and AI Altius Parent (Cayman) Limited. This transaction will involve:
-
Acquiring shares of Encora US Holdco, Inc. and Encora Holdings Ltd. (Cayman) (collectively, the “ Target Companies ”) from Encora Holdco Ltd. (UK), and AI Altius Parent (Cayman) Limited (collectively, the “ Investors ”) respectively through a share swap arrangement.
-
Issuing and allotting fully paid-up equity shares of INR 2 each, on a preferential basis, to non-promoter Investors identified in the resolutions, as consideration other than cash, in compliance with Sections 23(1)(b), 42, and 62(1)(c) of the Companies Act, SEBI ICDR Regulations (Chapter V), FEMA Regulations, and other applicable regulations.
Context – the AI Imperative
The current leadership of Coforge came together eight and a half years back. Over the last eight years the firm has delivered one of the highest growth rates of any mid or large cap tech services firm in the industry. This sustained, robust and profitable industry-leading growth has been achieved on the back of an execution intensity that is uniquely our own. It was aided by the hyper-specialization on select industries and exceptional capability depth in emerging technologies. While most of the growth has been organic, it is important to note that every one of the acquisitions that we’ve done over the last eight years has been very successful.
Over the last eight and half years, the revenue run rate of Coforge has gone up almost five times and the market cap has increased almost 20 times.
It is our intent to ensure that the next eight years see us maintain and improve upon the sustained business performance of the previous eight years. We hope to continue to be the industry leaders when it comes to revenue growth (with increasing margins) and investor value creation.
As we pursue this aim, we recognize that a new era of enterprise tech is emerging—one where AI driven by Cloud and Data is becoming the engine of enterprise reinvention. The next-gen enterprise will have its business capabilities defined and executed via a combination of humans and AI agents, underpinned by an enterprise data core and a cloud foundation that is purpose built for AI.
In that context, Coforge believes that the acquisition of Encora is a defining moment for our organization.
It establishes a scaled AI-led Engineering, Data and Cloud services-based capability moat for the firm. This, allied with Coforge’s hyperspecialized industry expertise and execution intensity, is likely to further accelerate our industry-leading growth. It also sets us up as the tech services firm that is likely to be one of the first to deliver upon the promise of the AI-infused future that lies ahead of our industry.
You will note that this transaction is an all-stock deal where the sellers, including Advent International and Warburg Pincus, are rolling over into Coforge and not taking any consideration as cash. This reflects the confidence that the incoming shareholders have in the prospects of the expanded firm.
An overview of Encora
Born in the Silicon Valley, California, Encora is one of the select technology services firms with an AI-native DNA that provides software engineering services for digital native companies and Fortune1000 enterprises. Encora works at the convergence of Cloud, Data and AI, with service offerings that span Intelligent Process Design, Agent Native Product Engineering, Core Modernization, AI foundation, Data readiness and AIOps.
Encora has created one of the industry’s first composable AI platforms – AIVA[TM] – to deliver Integrated agentic-orchestration and software engineering services. With composability at its core, AIVA[TM] lets organizations compose their own intelligent workflows across engineering and business functions.
Key attributes that are unique to Encora and position it as a transformative AI led engineering disruptor include:
- It already has the core AI-native asset: an internal agentic platform. The AIVA[TM] AI Platform is not a slideware accelerator; it is a composable agentic platform.

-
Unlike most AI-native startups, this firm already operates inside Fortune 500 enterprises and has institutional memory inside accounts with multi-year tenured engineers and high advocacy.
-
Its delivery model is already “Human + Agent” with significant Internal adoption of agentic tooling and a roadmap to transition from horizontal agents to verticalized agents.
-
It has a talent composition that matches AI-native winners, not legacy SI’s. It is not a labor-arbitrage play but is a compound engineering asset, which is a prerequisite for AI-native services. With significant presence of onshore and nearshore LATAM based SME’s it is one of the firms closest to making the “forward deployed engineers” paradigm real in the distributed tech services model.
-
The platform can become a Services-as-Software moat that is increasingly identified as the winning archetype in our changing industry
Acquisition rationale Coforge’ s acquisition of Encora will create an ~US$2.5Bn Tech Services powerhouse with both the scale and capability across AI-led engineering, Cloud and Data services to drive enterprise-grade AI-solutions.

ENHANCEMENT OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT LIMITS UNDER SECTION 186 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
As per Section 186(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company can give loans, advances, guarantees or provide any security in connection with the loan:
-
(i) up to 60% of its paid-up share capital, free reserves and security premium account; or
-
(ii) 100% of its free reserves and securities premium account, whichever is more.
As per Section 186(3) of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company can give loans and make investments exceeding the aforesaid limits, after taking prior approval of members by means of a Special Resolution passed at a General Meeting of the Company.
The members are hereby informed that, in connection with the share subscription and share purchase agreement dated December 26, 2025 executed by and amongst the Company, Encora US Holdco, Inc. and Encora Holdings Ltd. (Cayman) (collectively, the “ Target Companies ”), Encora Holdco Ltd. (UK) and AI Altius Parent (Cayman) Limited and any amendments thereof (“ SSPA ”) and to support the Company’s strategic investments and funding requirements, it is proposed to raise the existing limits for granting loans, providing guarantees, and making investments in securities of other bodies corporate for acquisition of the Target Companies, pursuant to a share swap arrangement. This enhancement would exceed the thresholds stipulated under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, which currently allow for such activities up to either 60% of the Company’s paid-up share capital, free reserves, and securities premium account, or 100% of its free reserves and securities premium account, whichever is greater.
The Company also proposes to secure a bridge loan of up to INR equivalent to USD 550 Mn (US Dollar Five Hundred Fifty Million only) in its overseas subsidiary. This bridge loan will be supported by a parent corporate guarantee issued by Coforge Limited to ensure the subsidiary's obligations are adequately backed. The intention is that this bridge loan will subsequently be repaid through the proceeds generated from a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) of up to INR equivalent to USD 550 Mn (US Dollar Five Hundred Fifty Million only). Accordingly, the approval of the Members of the Company is sought to authorize the issuance of a corporate guarantee in favor of the overseas subsidiary. The terms and conditions for granting this guarantee will be determined by the Board of Directors as deemed appropriate.
In continuation to above, the approval of the Members is requested to make an investment of upto USD 1.897 Bn (US Dollar One Billion and Eight Hundred Ninety-Seven Million) (equivalent to INR 170,326.02 Mn; conversion rate 1USD = INR89.77) and to allow the Company to provide a corporate guarantee to secure the bridge line as mentioned above, in each case, under Section 186 of the Companies Act and other applicable provision, if any as per the recommendation of the Board in its meeting held on December 26, 2025. The proposed enhancement aims to facilitate the Company’s ability to undertake inter-corporate transactions and investments essential for implementing the SSPA transaction and for achieving future growth objectives.
Apart from this specific transaction, the limit as per last approval of Members granted on May 23, 2021 under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013 shall remain unchanged as mentioned below:
| Amt. in INR Mn | |
|---|---|
| Current limit available | Current limit utilised |
| 69,915* | 33,516 |
| * i.e. INR 54,915 as per Section 186 plus INR 15,000 Mn approved by Members beyond the limit provided in Section 186 |
In view of this, approval is sought from the Members to increase the limits prescribed under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013by way of a Special Resolution for the specific transactions contemplated under the SSPA. It is further clarified that the total aggregate amount of loans, guarantees, and investments of the Company shall not exceed the specific limit as detailed in the resolution to be placed before the Members for their approval.
Considering, that the Company intends to execute an acquisition by entering into the SSPA, it is proposed to authorize the Board of the Company to:
(i) acquire the shares of the Target Companies pursuant to a share swap arrangement for a consideration of INR 1,70,32,60,16,842,
(ii) provide guarantees for a bridge loan of up to INR equivalent to USD 550 Mn (US Dollar Five Hundred Fifty Million only) in a Company’s overseas subsidiary,
provided that the aggregate amount of such guarantees (INR equivalent to USD 550 Mn) or investments (USD 1.89 Bn) in relation to this transaction, shall not exceed INR equivalent to USD 2.447 Bn (US Dollar Two Billion and Four Hundred and Forty Seven Million) in excess of the limits prescribed under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013. It should be noted that this approval under Section 186 is being specifically sought for the proposed transaction (as contemplated above) and the current unutilized
