Earlier the Company had entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement dated December 16, 2011 (the ‘ Initial Agreement’ ), with Indian Promoter Shareholders and FILA (‘Indian Promoter Shareholders’ and ‘FILA’ are collectively referred to as the ‘Promoters’ ), wherein the parties recorded their agreement regarding, among other things, their roles, responsibilities, rights and obligations and their inter se relationship with respect to the Company. Thereafter, pursuant to a change in shareholding, the Parties entered into an Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement dated October 26, 2015, (the ‘ SHA ’) to regulate the terms and conditions of their inter se relationship with respect to their respective shareholding in the Company and the management and governance of the Company. The Shareholders’ Agreement amended and restated the Initial Agreement.

Further, the Board and the Shareholders of the Company, pursuant to their respective resolutions dated July 20, 2023, and July 24, 2023 approved Initial Public Offer (‘ IPO ’). Thereafter, the Company has entered into Waiver Cum Amendment Agreement to Shareholders’ Agreement dated August 17, 2023 (‘ Waiver Agreement ’) with the Parties. In furtherance of the IPO, the Parties have agreed to waive and amend certain terms of the SHA, in order to enable the consummation of the IPO, as elaborated in the Waiver Agreement.

It was agreed between the parties, with effect from the date of filing of the updated Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI (‘ Filing Date ’): (i) all special rights available to the FILA / Indian Promoter Shareholders under Part B of the Articles of Association shall automatically terminate and cease to have effect, and (b) all special rights available to the FILA/ Indian Promoter Shareholders under the SHA and Waiver Agreement (together ‘ the Agreement ’) other than the ‘Nomination Rights’ and ‘the obligation of the Company to provide the Company Information’, shall automatically terminate and cease to have effect. However, the ‘Nomination Right’ and the ‘obligation of the Company to provide the Company Information’ shall survive subject to the same being approved by the shareholders of the Company by way of a special resolution in their general meeting.

In view of the above, the Board seeks the consent of the Shareholders by way of a Special Resolution, pursuant to the requirements prescribed under Regulation 31B of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, (‘SEBI LODR Regulations’), the letter of observation dated September 08, 2023 issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) and such rules made thereunder and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, guidelines (including any statutory modification(s) or amendment(s) thereto or reenactment(s) thereof, for the time being in force) and further subject to such other terms, conditions, stipulations, alterations, amendments or modifications as may be required, the consent of the Shareholders of the Company be and are hereby accorded to give effect to the (i) ‘Nomination Rights’ of ‘Indian Promoter Shareholders’ and ’FILA’; and (ii) ‘Information Rights’ available to FILA vis-a-vis the Company.
