EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102(1) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

ITEM NO.1

Members may note that Fusion Micro Finance Limited is evolving and growing at a steady pace in its endeavor to provide financial services to unserved/underserved population. With the expanding needs of our customers, the company plans to provide a more diverse range of financial products to our existing and adjacent clientele. Diversification of asset class will help in making the business more resilient. The recent regulatory changes where non-Microfinance portfolio can be 25%, compared to 15% earlier, has also created a conducive environment. Therefore, to capture this vision and to be viewed as a holistic financial services organization, a change in the company’s name is essential. The inclusion of the word “Microfinance” in the company’s name may present a restrictive view of our proposed product offerings and inhibit the company from acquiring new customers in other segments. We also believe that removing “Microfinance” from the company name will not impact our current customer segment or impact the core business. Therefore, it is proposed to change the company’s current name from “Fusion Micro Finance Limited” to “Fusion Finance Limited” (the proposed name). The company remains committed to the microfinance business and will continue to maintain the minimum 75% criteria of “qualifying assets”.

Further, the members may note that Subject to the approval of the Members of the Company by way of Special Resolution, Reserve Bank of India or Ministry of Corporate affairs and/ or any other regulatory or statutory authority (“the Authority”) as may be required under applicable laws, the Board has approved the change in name of the Company from “Fusion Micro Finance Limited” to “Fusion Finance Limited” along with the consequential amendments required to be made in the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the Company in its meeting held on May 06, 2024 ,

Members of the Company are hereby informed that the Company have received the prior approval of Reserve Bank of India in regard to the proposed change of name of the company. Further, the company have also received the reservation of new name i.e. Fusion Finance Limited from Central Registration Centre (“CRC”), Ministry of Corporate Affairs, vide its letter dated April 30, 2024.

The members may further note that the proposed name is aligned with the objects, brand and business activities of the company and the company has not changed its name in last one year.
