EXPLANATORY STATEMENT SETTING OUT THE MATERIAL FACTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013.
Item No. 1: Approval of Material Related Party Transactions with Industrie De Nora S.p.A., Italy (‘IDN’)
As per the provisions of Regulation 23 read with Schedule XII of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ("Listing Regulations"), for a listed entity whose annual consolidated turnover is upto Rs. 20,000 Crore, a transaction with a related party shall be considered material, if the transaction(s) to be entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year, exceeds 10% of the annual consolidated turnover of the Company as per the last audited financial statements of the Company. All the Material Related Party Transactions shall require prior approval of the shareholders, even if the transactions are in the ordinary course of business and at an arm's length basis.
Further, Regulation 23(1A) of the Listing Regulations provides that transactions involving payments made to a related party with respect to brand usage or royalty shall be considered material if the transaction(s) to be entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year, exceed 5% of the annual consolidated turnover of the listed entity as per the last audited financial statements of the listed entity.
Industrie De Nora S.p.A. (“IDN”), an entity existing under the laws of Italy, having its registered office at Via Leonardo Bistolfi, 35, 20134 Milan, Italy, is the ultimate holding company of De Nora Group and is a ‘related party’ within the meaning of Section 2(76) of the Companies Act 2013 read with Regulation 2(1)(zb) of the Listing Regulations. In the ordinary course of its business and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, the Company has, in the past, entered into various transactions with IDN, after obtaining requisite approvals of the Audit Committee, Board and the shareholders of the Company, as applicable.
The Company has entered into an Intercompany Intellectual Property Agreement with IDN, effective from January 1, 2025, for a period of four years up to December 31, 2028. Under this agreement, the Company is granted access to IDN’s proprietary technology, intellectual property and trademarks used in the manufacturing of coated electrodes and components for chlor-alkali cell technology, electrochlorination systems, cathodic protection systems and chlorate production. This access maintains the Company’s competitive advantage and supports its ongoing operational and strategic objectives. The royalty structure comprises of fixed royalty of 0.5% of net sales which is payable regardless of profitability for use of the “De Nora” trademarks/brands and variable royalty of up to 9.5% of net sales for use of IDN’s intellectual property (excluding trademarks), depending on the Company's profitability. Variable royalty is payable only if the Company’s pre-royalty operating margin (EBIT) exceeds the “Routine Profit” of 12.3% of net sales. No variable royalty is payable where the operating margin is at or below this level. Where the operating margin exceeds 12.3%, the variable royalty rate is computed as the excess operating margin over 12.3%, subject to a maximum cap of 9.5%. The particulars of the royalty rate structure were detailed in the 35th AGM Notice dated August 12, 2024. The Members had approved the material related party transactions with IDN, including payment of royalty, for FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 at the respective Annual General Meetings of the Company held in 2024 and 2025.
IDN provides various intercompany support services to the Company including marketing & business development, information and communication technology, global and central procurement, human resources, finance, legal, software applications and other such services to the Company under the Intercompany Business Support Services Agreement. These services are tailored to the Company’s specific needs and are critical to the Company’s day-to-day operations.
