EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 AND SECRETARIAL STANDARD-2 ON GEN-ERAL MEETINGS FORMING PART OF THE NOTICE

Presently, Registered Office of the Company is situated in the State of Assam at Makum Road, Tinsukia, Assam - 786125 and Corporate Office of the Company is situated at 2nd Floor, West Wing, Worldmark 1, Aerocity, IGI Airport Hospitality District, New Delhi - 110037. Majority of the administration and allied operations of the Company are carried out at Corporate Office only.

The registered office of the Company being at very distant place, the management has been facing operational difficulties in managing the affairs of the Company. Also, since the registered office is situated in a remote location, it results in delay in receipt of the correspondences from the various authorities, and consequently, delay in actionable, especially which require the execution in a time bound manner.

Further, the management is of the view that shifting of registered office of the Company to NCT of Delhi, shall enhance the effective participation of the shareholders in the general meetings of the Company.

In view of the above, the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on February 02, 2021 has approved to shift the Registered Office of the Company from the "State of Assam" to the "NCT of Delhi" considering, inter alia, the following reasons:

  • a) To exercise the better administrative and economic control over the Company;

  • b) To encourage the shareholders' participation in the general meetings of the Company;

  • c) To increase operational and management efficiency;

  • d) To integrate business functions, and optimization of administrative expenses.

The shifting of Registered Office will not be prejudicial to the interest of any employees, shareholders, creditors or any other stakeholders. In terms of Section 12, 13, 110 and other applicable provisions of the Act, 2013 read with Rules made thereunder, such shifting of Registered Office from one state to another and consequent alteration of the Memorandum of Association ("MOA") requires the approval of the Members of the Company by way of Special Resolution and approval of the Central Government (power delegated to Regional Director).

Accordingly, approval of the members is sought by way of Postal Ballot through Remote e-voting for shifting of the Registered Office of the Company from the State of Assam to the NCT of Delhi and consequently for altering Clause II of the Memorandum of Association of the Company to reflect that the registered office of the Company be situated in the NCT of Delhi. The existing MOA of the Company as well as the MOA with the proposed amendments will be available for online inspection on all days except for Saturday and Sunday till the last date of Remote e-voting i.e Friday, March 12, 2021. The documents shall also be available for inspection at the Registered Office and a copy of the same shall be available at the Corporate Office of the Company between 03.00 P.M. to 05.00 P.M. on all days except for Saturday and Sunday till the last date of Remote e-voting.
