At the Maximum Buyback Price and for Maximum Buyback Size, the indicative maximum number of Equity Shares bought back would be 41,33,333 (Forty One Lakhs Thirty Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Three Only) Equity Shares. If the Equity Shares are bought back at a price below the Maximum Buyback Price, the actual number of Equity Shares bought back could exceed the indicative Maximum Buyback Shares (assuming full deployment of Maximum Buyback Size) but will always be subject to the Maximum Buyback Size.
The actual number of Equity Shares bought back will depend upon the actual price, excluding the Transaction Costs, paid for the Equity Shares bought back, and the aggregate consideration paid in the Buyback, subject to the Maximum Buyback Size. The actual reduction in existing number of Equity Shares would depend upon the price at which the Equity Shares of the Company are traded at the Stock Exchanges as well as the total number of Equity Shares bought back by the Company from the open market through the Stock Exchanges during the Buyback period.

Based on the Minimum Buyback Size and Maximum Buyback Price, the Company would purchase a minimum of 31,00,000 (Thirty One Lakhs) Equity Shares. If the Equity Shares are bought back at a price below the Maximum Buyback Price, the actual number of Equity Shares bought back could exceed the indicative Maximum Buyback Shares (assuming full deployment of the Maximum Buyback Size) but will always be subject to the Maximum Buyback Size. However, the Maximum Buyback Shares will not exceed 25% of the total number of Equity Shares in the total paid-up equity capital of the Company.
