The Company shall not inves t in capital eroding and high-risk taking ins t ruments.

Monitoring Agency:

Since the proceeds from the Issue will result in funds aggregating an amount exceeding ₹100 crore (Rupees one hundred crore), the Company is required to appoint a SEBIregis t ered external credit rating agency as a Monitoring Agency in terms of Regulation 162A of Chapter V of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

  • (iv) Basis or jus t ification for the price (including the premium, if any) has been arrived at:

  • (b) the 10 trading days’ volume weighted average prices of the related equity shares quoted on a recognised s t ock exchange preceding the relevant date i.e. ₹72.52.

The equity shares of the Company are lis t ed on the BSE Limited ( “BSE” ) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (“NSE” ) and are frequently traded in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

For the purposes of computation of price per Equity Share or Warrant, NSE is the s t ock exchange that has higher trading volume for the said period and accordingly, has been considered.

  • (v) Method of determination of price as per the Articles of Association of the Company is not applicable as the Articles of Association of the Company are silent on the determination of a Floor Price/ Minimum Price of the shares issued on preferential basis.

In view of the above, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to issue these securities to be allotted on preferential basis to the Proposed Allottee(s) at ₹74/- (Rupees Seventy Four Only) including premium of ₹73/- per share, being not less than the floor price, computed in accordance with Chapter V of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
