ANNEXURE TO THE NOTICE

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act")

ITEM 1 & 2:

The Equity Shares of your Company are listed and traded on BSE Ltd and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.

The Company's strong performance over the years has led the significant rise in the market price of the equity shares of the Company. With a view to encourage wider participation of small investors and to enhance the liquidity of the Equity Shares at the Stock Market, the Board of Directors at its meeting held on February 02, 2021 has considered and recommended the subdivision of 1 (One) Equity Share of the Company of the face value of Rs.10/- (Rupees Ten Only) each into 5 (Five) Equity Shares of the Company of face value of Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two only) each fully paid up subject to approval of the Members and other statutory and regulatory approvals, as applicable.

Presently, the Authorized Share Capital of the Company is Rs. 26,00,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty-Six Crores Only) divided into 2,60,00,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each and the paid-up share capital of the Company is Rs. 11,70,98,710/- divided into 1,17,09,871 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each fully paidup.

The proposed subdivision of equity shares will not result in any change in the amount of authorized and paid-up share capital of the Company. However, the paid-up equity share capital may change as on the record date on account of allotment of shares upon exercise of stock options, if any, before the record date. The sub-division as aforesaid would also require consequential amendments to the existing Clause V of the Memorandum of Association ("MOA") of the Company as set out in Item No. 2 of the Postal Ballot Notice to reflect the change in face value of each Equity Share of the Company from existing Rs 10 (Rupees Ten only) each to proposed Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two only) each. As per the provision of the Section 13 and 61 of the Companies Act, 2013, any alteration in the Capital clause of MOA of the Company shall be effected only after the approval of the Members by passing an Ordinary Resolution.

Further, sub-division of face value of Equity Shares, inter alia, require appropriate adjustments with respect to all the options granted by the Company under Dixon Technologies (India) Limited - Employee Stock Option Plan, 2018 and Dixon Technologies (India) Limited - Employee Stock Option Plan, 2020such that all the options outstanding as on the Record Date as well as options which are available for grant and those already granted but not exercised as on the Record Date shall be proportionately adjusted.

None of the Directors / Key Managerial Personnel of the Company or their relatives are concerned or interested in the resolution except to the extent of their shareholding in the Company or stock options granted, if any.

The Board recommends the resolution set forth in Item no. 1 and 2 for the approval of the members as an Ordinary Resolution.

By the order of the Board of Directors For Dixon Technologies (India) Limited
