Considering strategic and business aspects, the Board of Directors ('Board') of the Company considered it appropriate to modify the said scheme, and amalgamate lnox Renewables Limited (wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) into GFL Limited (rather than Demerger of Renewable Energy Business 1 of lnox Renewables Limited as specified in the earlier Scheme of Arrangement which was approved by the Board on 14th February, 2020). In this regard, the Board has considered and approved, the modification of the earlier Scheme of Arrangement approved on 14th February 2020 and in place thereof, approved the proposed Scheme, more particularly elaborated in Point 2 below.
