STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102(1) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 (“the Act”)
The following Statement sets out all material facts relating to the Special Business mentioned in the accompanying Notice dated November 02, 2023 and shall be taken as forming part of the Notice.
ITEM NO. 1
To fix borrowing powers under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies, Act, 2013.
Members of the Company are hereby informed that keeping in view the Company's existing and future financial requirements to support its business operations, the Company may need additional funds. For this purpose, the Company may, from time to time, raise finance from various banks and/or financial institutions and/ or any other lending institutions and/or bodies corporate and/or such other persons/ individuals as may be considered fit, which, together with the moneys already borrowed by the Company (apart from temporary loans obtained from the Company's bankers in ordinary course of business) may exceed the aggregate of the paid-up capital and free reserves and security premium of the Company. In terms of the provisions of Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) the power to borrow money in excess of the paid-up share capital, free reserves and security premium account and creation of security on such borrowing can be exercised by the Board of Directors only with the consent of the shareholders obtained by a special resolution.
In view of the above, the Board of Directors recommend the resolution as set out under Item No. 1 of the Notice of EOGM for approval of the Members of the Company as a special resolution. None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel of the Company or their respective relatives are concerned or interested, whether financially or otherwise, in the resolution mentioned at Item No. 1 of the Notice.
ITEM NO. 2
Authority for Creation of Charges on the Movable and Immovable Properties of the Company in respect of Borrowings under Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies, Act, 2013.
In the normal course of business, the Company from time to time is required to avail Term Loans, Working Capital, External Borrowings or any other financial accommodation. A charge on the assets/properties of the Company, both present and future, is normally given as security for such borrowings. As the documents to be executed for the creation of such charge/mortgages from time to time to secure such borrowings, may contain the power to take over the management of the Company in certain events, it is necessary for the shareholders to pass a resolution under Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 for the creation of the mortgage/charge as set out in this resolution.
Under the provisions of Section 180 (1) (a) of the Companies Act, 2013, the above powers can be exercised by the Board only with the consent of the shareholders obtained by a special resolution. Therefore, in order to enable the Board of Directors of the Company to borrow money for the business needs of the Company and to create such charges, mortgages and hypothecations to secure the amount borrowed by the Company, it is proposed to fix the borrowing limits to Rs. 1,000 Crore (Rupees One Thousand Crore only) or as defined in the aforesaid resolutions.
As such, it is necessary to obtain approval of the shareholders by means of a special resolution, to enable the Board of Directors of the Company to create charge / mortgage / hypothecation on the Company’s assets, both present and future, in favour of the lenders/ trustees for the holders of debentures / bonds, to secure the repayment of moneys borrowed by the Company (including temporary loans obtained from the Company’s Bankers in the ordinary course of business). As the documents to be executed between the Company and the lenders may contain the power to take over the management of the Company in certain events, it is necessary to obtain Members’ approval under Section 180 (1) (a) of the Companies Act, 2013, by way of a special resolution.
