2. Necessity for the Buyback

Buyback is the purchase of its own Equity Shares by the Company. The objective is to maximize returns to investors, to reduce total number of shares and enhance overall shareholders value by returning cash to shareholders in an efficient and investor friendly manner. The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on May 24,2019 considered the accumulated Free Reserves as well as cash liquidity reflected in the audited accounts for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2019 and benefits to the members holding Equity Shares of the Company and decided to allocate a sum of Rs. 120.05 Crores (Rupees One Hundred Twenty Crore Five Lakh only) (which is 8.38% of the total Paid up share capital and Free Reserves as per the audited standalone financial statements of the Company for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2019), excluding transaction cost, viz. brokerage, applicable taxes such as securities transaction tax, service tax, stamp duty, etc., cost for the intermediaries appointed and other incidental costs, which is within the maximum amount as aforesaid, for returning to the members holding Equity shares through Buyback.

The Company's management strives to increase Shareholder's value and the Buyback would result in, amongst other things:

    1. The Buyback will result in reduction in the overall capital employed in the business, which will, in turn lead to higher earnings per share and enhanced return on equity and return on capital employed, return on net worth, return on assets, etc and long term increase in shareholders' va I ue;
    1. The Buyback will help the Company to distribute surplus cash to its Members holding equity shares broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing the overall return to Members;
    1. The Buyback, which is being implemented through the Tender Offer route as prescrlbed under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, would involve allocation of 15% of the outlay to Small Shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation of L5% for Small Shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as "Small Shareholder"; and
    1. The Buyback gives an option to the Members holding equity shares of the Company, who can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buyback Offer or they may choose to not participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback Offer, without additional investment.
