EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013:

The Company was incorporated in the year 1976 as "Garware Shipping Corporation Limited". In 2006, the name was then changed to "Garware Offshore Services Limited". Thereafter, in 2011, the Company's name was once again changed from "Garware Offshore Services Limited" to "Global Offshore Services Limited", in view of the fact that the Company's was focused predominately on international operations with majority of the Company's Vessels working in international waters.

The Company, promoted by the Late B. D. Garware has, over the past 4 to 5 years, reduced its international exposure in terms of operations and now had its fleet operating in India only and therefore it is proposed to revert the name of the Company back to "Garware Offshore Services Limited", from Global Offshore Services Limited which will better represent the Company's present shareholding pattern, operational situation and target market.

In view of the above, the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 18th day December, 2025, subject to Shareholders, Central Government and such other requisite approval(s) that may be required, proposed to revert back to naming the Company to "Garware Offshore Services Limited", from Global Offshore Services Limited, which in view of the Board, will better represent the Company's present shareholding pattern, operational situation and target market.

The Members may further note that there is no proposal to change the objects of the Company. The proposed change in the name of the Company would not affect any of the rights or obligations of the Company towards its members and stakeholders.

The Company has complied with Regulation 45 of the Listing Regulations, to the extent they are applicable, and has also obtained a certificate from a Practicing Chartered Accountant in respect of the same, copy of which is annexed herewith as Annexure A.

Consequent to the above, the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, will also be required to be amended to give effect of change of name of the Company.

Upon application to Government of India, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Office of the Registrar of Companies vide their letter dated 19th December, 2025 granted "No Objection" in the availability of the new name 'GARWARE OFFSHORE SERVICES LIMITED' from the existing name 'GLOBAL OFFSHORE SERVICES LIMITED'.
