Explanatory statement pursuant to Sections 102(1) and 110 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Secretarial Standards on General Meetings

Item No. 1 – Approval for the Buyback of Equity Shares of the Company

The Board of Directors of the Company (the Board), at its meeting held on 23 April 2026, has, subject to the approval of the Members of the Company, by way of a special resolution through Postal Ballot (Special Resolution) and subject to such other approvals, as may be necessary, approved the proposal for Buyback by the Company of up to 64,00,000 (Sixty Four Lakh) fully paid-up equity shares of face value of INR 5/- (Indian Rupee Five) each (Equity Shares), representing 5.76% of the existing fully paid-up equity share capital on standalone basis, from the shareholders of the Company, as on the record date, to be determined by the Buyback Committee-2026 (Record Date), on a proportionate basis, at a price of INR 1,125 (Indian Rupees One Thousand One Hundred Twenty Five) per Equity Share (Buyback Price) and for an amount of INR 720,00,00,000 (Indian Rupees Seven Hundred Twenty Crores) (Buyback Offer Size), representing 20.31% and 14.09% of the aggregate of the total paid-up share capital and free reserves of the Company based on the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company, respectively, as at 31 March 2026 (Buyback), through the tender offer route, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Buy-Back of Securities) Regulations, 2018 (as amended) (Buyback Regulations) and the Companies Act, 2013 (Act), the rules made thereunder and SEBI Circulars (as defined below).

All equity shareholders (excluding promoter and promoter group) of the Company as on Record Date will be eligible to participate in the Buyback.

Since, the Buyback is more than 10% of the aggregate of the fully paid-up equity share capital and free reserves of the Company as per the audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2026, it is proposed to seek your approval by way of a special resolution through this Postal Ballot Notice.

The Buyback will be implemented using the "Mechanism for acquisition of shares through Stock Exchange pursuant to Tender-Offers under Takeovers, Buyback and Delisting" notified by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) vide circular CIR/CFD/POLICYCELL/1/2015 dated April 13, 2015 read with SEBI circular CFD/DCR2/P/2016/131 dated December 9, 2016, SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR-III/CIR/P/615 dated August 13, 2021 and SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD-2/P/CIR/2023/35 dated March 8, 2023, and such other circulars or notifications, as may be applicable, including any amendments thereof as amended (SEBI Circulars).

The Board has also constituted a Buyback Committee - 2026 comprising of Mr. Sunil Bhumralkar, Independent Director, Mr. P R Ramesh, Independent Director, Prof. Madan Pillutla, Independent Director, Mr. Shrinivas Kulkarni, Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Sudheendhra Putty, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer of the Company (Buyback Committee- 2026). The Buyback Committee-2026 has been authorized to do all such acts, deeds, matters and things as it may, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary, expedient, usual or proper in connection with the Buyback.

The Board has appointed Mr. Manish Kumar Singhania, Practicing Company Secretary, (ACS 22056; CP No. 8068) as the scrutinizer (Scrutinizer) for conducting the postal ballot through the e-voting process in a fair and transparent manner.

  1. Date of the Board Meeting at which proposal of the Buyback was approved by the Board of Directors: 23 April 2026
  2. Necessity for the Buyback:

The Members are informed that the Company has cash liquidity reflected in the last audited standalone financial statements and audited consolidated financial statements as on 31 March 2026.

In the current market scenario, keeping in mind the Company's market strategies and future expansion plans, the Company presently has surplus cash of up to INR 9,408 Mn (Indian Rupees Nine Thousand Four Hundred and Eight Million only) on standalone basis.

The Board has evaluated, inter alia, the Company's audited financial statements, available free reserves, cash and investments, and expected cash flows, and has considered various internal and financial parameters, including but not limited to:


  • anticipated cash requirements towards working capital, capital expenditure, technology and infrastructure;
  • investments required for execution of the Company's growth strategy;
  • potential inorganic opportunities, including acquisitions;
  • the need to maintain adequate liquidity for contingencies and unforeseen events; and
  • overall financial flexibility to support business operations and future growth.

In view of the above, the Company could therefore consider buying back up to 64,00,000 fully paid-up equity shares of the Company of face value of INR 5 each at a price of INR 1,125 (Indian Rupees One Thousand One Hundred Twenty Five) per equity share for an aggregate maximum amount of INR 720,00,00,000 (Indian Rupees Seven Hundred Twenty Crores) for reasons set forth below:

i. The Buyback will help the Company to return surplus cash to its equity shareholders in proportion to their shareholding, thereby enhancing the overall return to shareholders;

ii. The Buyback, proposed through the tender offer route as prescribed under the Buyback Regulations, would involve allocation of number of equity shares to the small shareholders as per their entitlement or 15% of the number of equity shares to be bought back whichever is higher, reserved for the small shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as "small shareholder" as per Regulation 2(i)(n) of the Buyback Regulations;

iii. The Buyback may help in improving return on equity, by reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to long term increase in shareholders' value; and

iv. The Buyback gives an option to the equity shareholders, to liquidate their equity shareholding in the Company or increase their percentage shareholding by abstaining from participating in the Buyback offer without any additional investment.

The Buyback will not in any manner impair the ability of the Company to pursue growth opportunities or meet its cash requirements for business operations.

3. Maximum amount required under the Buyback and its percentage of the total paid up capital and free reserves

The amount of funds required for the Buyback will aggregate to INR 720,00,00,000 (Indian Rupees Seven Hundred Twenty Crores) being 20.31% and 14.09% of the aggregate of the paid-up share capital and free reserves of the Company, as at 31 March 2026, on a standalone and consolidated basis, respectively, which is less than 25% of the aggregate of the total paid-up share capital and free reserves of the Company based on the latest audited financial statements of the Company as at 31 March 2026, on a standalone basis and consolidated basis.

The Buyback Offer Size does not include any expenses or transaction costs incurred or to be incurred for the Buyback, such as, brokerage, filing fees, advisory fees, intermediaries' fees, public announcement publication expenses, printing and dispatch expenses, applicable taxes such as securities transaction tax, goods and services tax, stamp duty etc. and other incidental and related expenses which will be in addition thereto.

The funds for the implementation of the proposed Buyback will be sourced out of the current surplus and/or cash balances and/or cash available from internal accruals (and not from borrowed funds whether secured or unsecured of any form or nature), of the Company or such other source as may be permitted by the Buyback Regulations or the Act. Borrowed funds from banks and financial institutions, if any, will not be used for the Buyback.

4. Maximum Price at which the Equity Shares are proposed to be bought back and the basis of arriving at such price

The Equity Shares of the Company are proposed to be bought back at a price of INR 1,125 (Indian Rupees One Thousand One Hundred Twenty Five) per Equity Share (Buyback Price).

The Buyback Price has been arrived at after considering various factors including, but not limited to, the trends in the volume weighted average market prices of the Equity Shares on BSE Limited (BSE) and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) (collectively referred to as Indian Stock Exchanges) where the Equity Shares are listed, price earnings ratio, impact on other financial parameters and the possible impact of the Buyback on the earnings per Equity Share.

12


Further, in accordance with Regulation 5(via) of the Buyback Regulations, the Buyback Committee - 2026 may increase the Buyback Price and decrease the number of Equity Shares proposed to be bought back provided that there is no change in the Buyback Offer Size, till one working day prior to the record date as may be determined by the Board (Record Date) fixed for the purpose of Buyback.

In line with the recent market practices in relation to buybacks, the Buyback Price represents:

  • Premium of 17.71% and 16.53% to the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Shares on BSE and NSE, respectively, during the three months period ending 14 April 2026, being the date of the intimation to the stock exchanges regarding the proposal of buyback being considered at Board Meeting.
  • Premium of 34.91% and 32.73% to the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Shares on BSE and NSE, respectively, during the two weeks period ending 14 April 2026, being the date of the intimation to the stock exchanges regarding the proposal of buyback being considered at Board Meeting.
  • Premium of 25.49% and 25.54% over the closing price of the Equity Shares on BSE as well as NSE, respectively, as on 13 April 2026 being the day prior to the date of intimation to the stock exchanges regarding the proposal of buyback being considered at Board Meeting.

5. Maximum number of Equity Shares that the Company proposes to buyback

The maximum number of Equity Shares at the Buyback Price and the Buyback Offer Size bought back would be 64,00,000 (Sixty four lakh) fully paid-up Equity Shares, comprising approximately 5.76% of the existing fully paid-up equity share capital of the Company as of 31 March 2026. The maximum amount required for Buyback will not exceed INR 720,00,00,000 (Indian Rupees Seven Hundred Twenty Crores) (excluding Transaction Costs).

The Board Committee may, till 1 (one) working day prior to the Record Date, increase the Buyback Price and decrease the number of Equity Shares proposed to be bought back under the Buyback, such that there is no change in the Buyback Offer Size, in terms of Regulation 5(via) of the Buyback Regulations.

The funds for the implementation of the proposed Buyback will be sourced out of current surplus and/or cash balances and/or cash available from internal accruals (and not from borrowed funds whether secured or unsecured of any form or nature), of the Company and any other source as may be permitted by the Buyback Regulations and the Act.

The Company shall transfer from its free reserves or securities premium account and/or such sources as may be permitted by law, a sum equal to the nominal value of the Equity Shares bought back through the Buyback to the Capital Redemption Reserve account.

The Company has neither raised nor does it intend to raise additional debt in connection with the Buyback.

6. Method to be adopted for Buyback as referred to in Regulation 4(iv)(a) of the Buyback Regulations

The Buyback shall be on a proportionate basis (subject to the reservation for Small Shareholders (defined hereinafter) in accordance with the Buyback Regulations) through the "Tender Offer" route, as prescribed under the Buyback Regulations, to the extent permissible, and the "Mechanism for acquisition of shares through Stock Exchanges pursuant to Tender-Offers under Takeovers, Buyback and Delisting" as prescribed under the SEBI Circulars. The Buyback will be implemented in accordance with the Act read with the rules framed there-under, the Buyback Regulations and on such terms and conditions as may be deemed fit by the Company.

As required under the Buyback Regulations, the Company will announce a Record Date for the Buyback for determining the names of the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company who will be eligible to participate in the Buyback. Consequent to approval of the Buyback, shareholders of the Company holding the Equity Shares as of the Record Date (Eligible Shareholders / Members) will receive a letter of offer (the Letter of Offer) along with a tender/offer form indicating their entitlement.

The Equity Shares to be bought back is divided in two categories:

a) Reserved category for small shareholders; and
b) General category for all other shareholders.

13


14

In terms of Regulation 2(i)(n) of the Buyback Regulations, a "small shareholder" is a shareholder who holds equity shares whose market value, on the basis of closing price of shares on the recognised stock exchange having the highest trading volume, as on Record Date is not more than INR 2,00,000 (Indian Rupees Two Lakhs only) (Small Shareholders).

In accordance with proviso to Regulation 6 of the Buyback Regulations, 15% of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to buyback or such number of Equity Shares entitled as per the shareholding of Small Shareholders as on the Record Date, whichever is higher, shall be reserved for the Small Shareholders as part of this Buyback.

Based on the holding on the Record Date, the Company will determine the entitlement of each Eligible Shareholder to tender their shares in the Buyback. This entitlement for each Eligible Shareholder will be calculated based on the number of Equity Shares held by the respective shareholder as on the Record Date and the ratio of the Buyback applicable in the category to which such shareholder belongs (Buyback Entitlement). The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of the Company's public shareholders, who would be classified as Small Shareholders. Given that the promoters and members of the promoter group of the Company have expressed their intention not to participate in the Buyback, the Equity Shares held by members of the promoter/ promoter group shall not be considered for computing the entitlement ratio, in accordance with the proviso to Regulation 4(iv)(a) of the Buyback Regulations, and to that extent, the Eligible Shareholders will have a higher Buyback Entitlement ratio.

In accordance with Regulation 9(ix) of the Buyback Regulations, to ensure that the same shareholders with multiple demat accounts/ folios do not receive a higher entitlement under the Small Shareholder category, the Company will club together the Equity Shares held by such shareholders with a common PAN for determining the category (Small Shareholder or General) and entitlement under the Buyback. In case of joint shareholding, the Company will club together the Equity Shares held in cases where the sequence of the PANs of the joint shareholders is identical. In case of physical shareholders, where the sequence of PANs is identical, the Company will club together the Equity Shares held in such cases. Similarly, in case of physical shareholders where PAN is not available, the Company will check the sequence of names of the joint holders and club together the Equity Shares held in such cases where the sequence of name of joint shareholders is identical. The shareholding of institutional investors like mutual funds, pension funds/trusts, insurance companies etc., with common PAN will not be clubbed together for determining the category and will be considered separately, where these equity shares are held for different schemes and have a different demat account nomenclature based on information prepared by the Registrar and Transfer Agent as per the shareholders records received from the Depositories.

Shareholders' participation in Buyback will be voluntary. Eligible Shareholder(s) holding Equity Shares of the Company can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of shares to be accepted under the Buyback or they may choose not to participate. Eligible Shareholder(s) holding Equity Shares of the Company may accept a portion or all of their entitlement. Eligible Shareholder(s) holding equity shares of the Company also have the option of tendering additional shares (over and above their entitlement) and participate in the shortfall created due to non-participation of some other shareholders, if any.

The maximum number of Equity Shares that may be tendered under the Buyback by any Eligible Shareholder cannot exceed the number of Equity Shares held by the shareholder as on the Record Date.

The Equity Shares tendered as per the entitlement by Eligible Shareholder(s) holding equity shares of the Company as well as additional shares tendered, if any, will be accepted as per the procedure laid down in Buyback Regulations. The settlement of the tendered Equity Shares under the Buyback will be done using the "Mechanism for acquisition of shares through Stock Exchange pursuant to Tender-Offers under Takeovers, Buyback and Delisting" notified pursuant to SEBI Circulars.

The Buyback of Equity Shares from non-resident members of the Company, including Foreign Corporate Bodies (including erstwhile Overseas Corporate Bodies), Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs)/Foreign Portfolio Investors, members of foreign nationality shall be subject to the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) and rules and regulations framed thereunder, if any, Income Tax Act, 1961 and rules and regulations framed thereunder, the Depository Receipts Scheme, 2014, as applicable, and shall be subject to such approvals if, and to the extent necessary or required from the concerned authorities including approvals from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under FEMA and the rules, regulations framed thereunder, if any, and such approvals shall be required to be taken by such non-resident shareholders.


All of the equity shareholders of the Company as on Record Date will be eligible to participate in the Buyback. Detailed instructions for participation in the Buyback (tender of Equity Shares in the Buyback) as well as the relevant timetable will be included in the Letter of Offer which will be sent in due course to the Eligible Shareholders.

7. Time limit for completing the Buyback

The Buyback, subject to the regulatory consents and approvals, if any, is proposed to be completed within one year from the date of passing of special resolution by the Members as mentioned in the Postal Ballot Notice.

8. Compliance with Section 68(2)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Regulation 4(i) of the Buyback Regulations

Under the provisions of the Act and the Buyback Regulations, the funds deployed for the Buyback cannot and will not exceed 25% of the aggregate of fully paid-up share capital and free reserves of the Company as per audited standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company as on 31 March 2026, whichever is lower, i.e., INR 8,862 Mn.

As per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 March 2026, the total paid-up equity capital and free reserves are as follows:

Based on the above, the Buyback Offer Size, i.e., INR 720,00,00,000 (Indian Rupees Seven Hundred Twenty Crores), is less than 25% of the total paid-up capital and free reserves of the Company, based on the lower of the both standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Further, in terms of the Act and Buyback Regulations, the number of Equity Shares that can be bought back in any financial year cannot exceed 25% (twenty-five percent) of the total Equity Shares in the total existing paid-up equity capital of the Company in that financial year.

The number of Equity Shares proposed to be purchased under the Buyback i.e. 64,00,000 Equity Shares, does not exceed 25% (twenty-five percent) of the total number of Equity Shares in the existing total paid-up equity share capital of the Company and the total paid-up equity capital of the Company as of 31 March 2026.

In the opinion of the Board, the proposal for Buyback is in the interest of the Company and its members holding Equity Shares of the Company. The Directors, therefore, recommend passing of the Special Resolution as set out in the accompanying Notice.

No director, key managerial personnel or their relatives are interested in or concerned with the resolution, except to the extent of their shareholding.

Item No. 2

Mr. Krishna Bodanapu was appointed as Executive Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of the Company for a period of three (3) years with effect from 3 April 2023, pursuant to the approval of the Members at the Annual General Meeting held on 21 June 2023.

Based on the recommendation of the Leadership, Nomination & Remuneration Committee ("LNRC"), and having regard to his performance, leadership, and continued contribution to the Company's growth, the Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 31 March 2026, has approved, subject to the approval of the Members, the re-appointment of Mr. Krishna Bodanapu as Executive Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of the Company for a further period of three (3) years, on such terms and conditions including remuneration as recommended by the LNRC and approved by the Board.

In terms of the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") read with the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ("Listing Regulations"), the said appointment and remuneration are subject to the approval of the Members of the Company. Accordingly, the approval of the Members is sought for the re-appointment of Mr. Krishna Bodanapu and payment of remuneration to him.

Mr. Krishna Bodanapu has been instrumental in providing strategic direction and leadership to the Company and has played a pivotal role in driving sustained growth, strengthening global capabilities, and enhancing stakeholder value. His deep domain expertise and leadership experience position him well to continue steering the Company's long-term strategic agenda.

As Executive Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, Mr. Krishna Bodanapu will:

  • Have oversight of strategy and execution in Cyient DLM and Cyient Semiconductors (both subsidiaries of the Company)
  • Have increased focus on international M&A of a significantly higher scale than in the past
  • Exercise enhanced governance over group entities world-wide
  • Ensure logical growth trajectory for the business
  • Have oversight of global initiative impacting future business including sustainability

The re-appointment and remuneration have been reviewed and recommended by the independent members of the LNRC. The Board, based on the recommendation of the LNRC, is of the view that the proposed remuneration is appropriate and commensurate with his experience, role, responsibilities and contribution to the Company.

The remuneration structure proposed for Mr. Krishna Bodanapu has been formulated in line with the Company's remuneration policy and is benchmarked against peer companies in the industry, taking into account the size, scale, complexity and global nature of the Company's operations. The remuneration proposed for the ensuing term remains unchanged from that approved by the Members in 2023, with no increase in the remuneration structure.

25


The variable component of remuneration in the form of commission payable to Mr. Krishna Bodanapu is structured to be strongly performance-linked and is determined based on a comprehensive evaluation framework approved by the LNRC and the Board.

The commission is linked to two broad categories of performance parameters, ensuring an appropriate balance between short-term operational performance and long-term value creation objectives:

i. Annual Performance Parameters:

These include key financial and operational metrics such as revenue growth, profitability and free cash generation. The evaluation against these parameters is carried out on a yearly basis and reflects the Company's financial performance, operational efficiency, and ability to generate sustainable cash flows. This ensures that a significant portion of the remuneration is directly aligned with the Company's annual business outcomes and financial health.

ii. Long-Term Strategic Parameters:
