STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

As required by Sections 102(1) and 110 of the Act and SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/ CMD1/CIR/P/2021/662 dated November 22, 2021, the following Statement sets out material facts relating to the business set out in the Notice.

ITEM NO. 1: Approval for slump sale of Hydro Business under Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Regulation 37A of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015:

Your Board of Directors (“Board”) at their meeting held on 10 July 2024 have recommended and approved the sale of the hydro business undertaking of the Company comprising the business of developing, designing, engineering, marketing, manufacturing, selling, supplying, transporting, assembling, installing and servicing hydro turbines, generators and associated auxiliaries (including balance of plant) and systems for hydroelectric power stations (including pumped storage plants) (“Hydro Business”) as a going concern on a slump sale basis (as defined under Section 2(42C) of the Income-tax Act, 1961), to GE Power Electronics (India) Private Limited (“GEPEIPL”) (an application has been submitted to the concerned authority for change of name of GEPEIPL to GE Vernova Hydro Power India Private Limited and accordingly GEPEIPL may eventually be renamed as GE Vernova Hydro Power India Private Limited or such other name as may be approved by the Board & members of GEPEIPL and any other concerned authority), a related party of the Company along with its respective assets and liabilities including the concerned licenses, consents, approvals, employees and contracts, for a lumpsum consideration of INR 1/- excluding all applicable taxes, subject to customary post closing adjustments, basis locked box accounts as of March 31, 2024, on such terms and conditions as detailed out in the business transfer agreement to be entered into between the Company and GEPEIPL for sale and transfer of the Hydro Business ("Hydro BTA”) (such transaction, “Proposed Hydro Sale”).

The consideration for the Proposed Hydro Sale, as recommended by the Board and the Audit Committee is based on the valuation done by GT Valuation Advisors Private Limited, independent valuer having registration number IBBI/RV-E/05/2020/134. RBSA Capital Advisors LLP a SEBI Registered Category I Merchant Banker having registration code INM000011724 has given a fairness opinion certifying that the valuation of the Hydro Business done by the independent valuer is fair.

Rationale for Proposed Hydro Sale

The Hydro Business involves partnering with affiliate entities of GE Vernova in other countries to deliver and service hydro equipment in India and Asia. The Company relies on GE Vernova for critical design, technologies like turbine, generators, pumped storage plant equipment and complete electrical balance of the plant. The Hydro Business contributed to approximately 31.1% of the total income (i.e., turnover plus other income) of the Company in FY 2023-24. On account of the significant outstanding current liabilities attached to it, the Hydro Business has a net liability of INR 2,140.9 million as on 31st March 2024 driven by negative net working capital and a net debt position of INR 1,143.5 million (sum of debt & debt-like items) as on 31st March 2024. The Hydro Business is further projected to consume further cash of the Company by INR 4,897.7 million over the next two years, which is creating a pressure on cash consumption and debt position.

Divesting and exiting the said business will allow the Company to focus on the four strategic growth areas; Services growth strategy which has been consistently yielding double digit Core business growth, retain share in the service upgrades, participate in margin and cash accretive FGD, increase the Durgapur load by supply of Boiler OEM parts outside India, in selected territories, and fabrication of industrial equipment, leveraging factory’s core competencies. The Company’s strategy aims to prioritise a long-term sustainable and profitable business.

The transaction will also reduce the Company’s non-fund credit lines exposure to the extent of INR 6,988 million since in terms of the Hydro BTA, GE Power Electronics (India) Private Limited would take over these off-balance sheet liabilities related to commercial bank guarantees issued to hydro customers, in addition to INR 1,143.5 million of debt and debt like liabilities as on March 31, 2024.

Accordingly, to facilitate future profitable growth, it is necessary to take certain immediate actions to improve the Company’s net worth.

The Board has decided to sell it to GE Power Electronics (India) Private Limited, (“Purchaser”) at INR 1/excluding all applicable taxes, despite the loss-making nature of the Hydro Business, resulting in purchase consideration being at a premium of INR 1,001.9 million over the fair market value as determined by the independent valuer.

12

This sale will improve the net worth of the Company by INR 2,140.9 million excluding all applicable taxes.

Utilization of proceeds

The purchase consideration is a nominal amount of INR 1/- excluding all applicable taxes. The Company will utilize the same for normal course business operations.

Manner of determination of sale consideration for Hydro Business

The sale consideration is based on independent valuation report from GT Valuation Advisors Private Limited, independent valuer having registration number IBBI/RV-E/05/2020/134 (“ GT ”). The fairness opinion on the valuation is provided by RBSA Capital Advisors LLP a SEBI Registered Category I Merchant Banker having registration code INM000011724. GT, in its valuation report, has recommended a negative valuation of INR 1,001.9 million. Its valuation is based on internationally accepted methodologies and in compliance with the Companies Act 2013. GT utilized the income approach, evaluating the companies cash generation potential based on a Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) method assuming a weighted average cost of capital of 13.5% to derive the enterprise and equity valuations of the business.

The sale and transfer of Hydro Business is being undertaken on an arm’s length basis the independent valuation report dated July 10, 2024 issued by GT Valuation Advisors Private Limited, Registered Valuer Entity – Securities and Financial Assets, having registration No. IBBI/RV-E/05/2020/134 and the fairness opinion, supporting the valuation of the Hydro Business, by RBSA Capital Advisors LLP a SEBI Registered Category I Merchant Banker having registration code INM000011724.

million as on 31st March 2024 driven by
negative net working capital and a net
debt position of INR 1,143.5 million (sum of
debt & debt-like items) as on 31st March
2024. The Hydro Business is further
projected to consume further cash of the

debt like liabilities as on March 31, 2024.
