The instructions for members for voting electronically are as under:

  • I. In compliance with provisions of Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013, Rule 20 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014 as amended by the Companies (Management and Administration) Amendment Rules, 2015 and Regulation 44 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements), Regulations, 2015, the Company is pleased to provide members facility to exercise their right to vote on resolutions proposed to be considered by means of postal ballot by electronic means and the business may be transacted through e-Voting Services. The facility of casting the votes by the members using an electronic voting system will be provided by Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL).

The e-voting facilities will be provided in the following manners: -

  • (i) The voting period begins on Thursday, 23[rd] May, 2024 at 9.00 AM and ends on Friday, 21[st] June, 2024 at 5.00 PM. During this period shareholders of the Company, holding shares either in physical form or in dematerialized form, as on the cut-off date i.e. Friday, 17[th] May, 2024 may cast their vote electronically.

Currently, there are multiple e-voting service providers (ESPs) providing e-voting facility to listed entities in India. This necessitates registration on various ESPs and maintenance of multiple user IDs and passwords by the shareholders.

Demat account holders would be able to cast their vote without having to register again with the ESPs, thereby, not only facilitating seamless authentication but also enhancing ease and convenience of participating in e- voting process.

SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD/CIR/P/2020/242 dated December 9, 2020 on e- Voting facility provided by Listed Companies, Individual shareholders holding securities in demat mode are allowed to vote through their demat account maintained with Depositories and Depository Participants.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 READ TOGETHER WITH REGULATION 17(11) OF THE SEBI (LISTING OBLIGATIONS AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS) REGULATION, 2015.

Item No. 1

Presently, the Authorised Share Capital of the Company stands at Rs. 60,00,00,000 (Rupees Sixty Crore) divided into 6,00,00,000 (Six Crore) Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each. And the paid-up capital is Rs. 59,08,68,600/- (Rupees Fifty-Nine Crores Eight Lakhs Sixty-Eight Thousand and Six Hundred Only) divided into 5,90,86,860 (Five Crore Ninety Lakhs Eighty-Six Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty) shares of Rs. 10/each. It is proposed to increase the authorised capital so as to accommodate the raising of the funds through fresh issue of shares in future and also to accommodate the issue of the shares upon the merger which is already approved by the members and is presently in process.

Accordingly, it is proposed to increase the Authorized Share Capital from Rs. 60,00,00,000 (Rupees Sixty Crore) divided into 6,00,00,000 (Six Crore) Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each to Rs. 100,00,00,000/- (Rupees One Hundred Crores) comprising of 10,00,00,000 (Ten Crore) Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each, ranking pari-passu in all respects with the existing Equity Shares of the Company.

The increase in the Authorized Share Capital of the Company will also require consequential amendment in the Clause (V) of the Memorandum of Association of the Company. Pursuant to Section 13, 61 and 64 the Companies Act, 2013, alteration of the Capital Clause requires approval of the members of the Company by way of passing a resolution to the effect.

None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and their relatives are concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution set forth in Resolution No.1 of this Notice except to the extent of their shareholdings in the Company, if any. Your Board recommends the resolution for approval of the Members as an Ordinary Resolution.

Item No. 2

The Companies Act, 2013 has been amended frequently by way of notifications and amendment acts. Similarly, securities laws including Securities and Exchange Board of India Act (SEBI Act) and Rules framed thereunder have also undergone changes by way of numerous circulars and notifications issued by SEBI and Central Government. In view of these changes, it was thought fit by the Board of Directors of the Company that certain clauses of the existing Articles of Association (AOA) of the Company need to be amended/modified and thereby thought fit to replace the existing AOA with a new set of Articles.

The draft of new set of AOA to be substituted in place of the existing AOA, would be available for inspection by the members at the Registered Office and Corporate Office of the Company on any working day between 02:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. up to 21[st] June, 2024. The draft of the new set of AOA is also annexed to this Postal Ballot Notice as Annexure A.

The Resolution at Item No. 2 of the Notice is set out as a Special Resolution for approval by the members in terms of Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013. No Director/Key Managerial Personnel of the Company/their

relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution set out in Item No. 2 of the Notice.

Item No. 3

The shareholders had in their Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on October 6, 2023 already approved the material related party transaction for advance of Loan by the company to its group company, Ind Swift Limited (ISL), to redress its debt obligations.

Pursuant to the said approval the company has already advanced the loan facility to Ind Swift Limited after executing necessary loan agreement/documents. In terms of the Loan agreement dated March 30, 2024, the Company has taken over the debt of ISL from Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (EARC) of Rs. 815.68 Crores and has structured the sustainable part into the term loan facility of Rs. 353 crores (approx.) payable in 9 years at 10% rate of interest (including 15 months moratorium on principal and interest payment, however, interest will accrue monthly) and the unsustainable part of Rs. 463.17 as a zero-coupon debt (payable fully in case of default in repayment of the term loan facility and to be waived off on the successful repayment of the term loan facility).

Since the company has advanced the term loan facility and has also gained additional rights to recover the unsustainable debt, so, in the event of default in repayment of the term loan, the total amount receivable from Ind Swift Limited may exceed the earlier approved limit of Rs. 600 Crores. Hence, the Board recommends the enabling resolution at item no 3 for in-principle approval of the members, to increase the limit from Rs. 600 Crores to Rs. 900 Crores.

The provisions of the SEBI Listing Regulations, as amended by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) (Sixth Amendment) Regulations, 2021, effective April 1, 2022, mandates prior approval of members by means of an ordinary resolution for all material related party transactions and subsequent material modifications as defined by the audit committee, even if such transactions are in the ordinary course of business of the concerned company and at an arm’s length basis. Effective from 1[st] April 2022, a transaction with a related party shall be considered as material if the transaction(s) to be entered into, either individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year, whether directly and/or through its subsidiary(ies), exceed(s) Rs. 1,000 Crore, or 10% of the annual consolidated turnover as per the last audited financial statements of the listed entity, whichever is lower.

Accordingly, as per the SEBI Listing Regulations, in principle approval of the Members is being sought for the modification to the already approved material related party transactions proposed to be undertaken by the Company, either directly or along with its subsidiary(ies) with M/s Ind Swift Limited. All the said transactions shall be in the ordinary course of business of the Company and at an arm’s length basis.

The Management has provided the Audit Committee with the relevant details of the proposed transaction including rationale, material terms and basis of pricing. Post discussions and deliberations, the Audit Committee granted approval for modifying the value of approved RPT between the company and Ind Swift Limited, from Rs. 600 Crores to Rs. 900 Crores. The Committee has noted that the said transactions will be

on an arms’ length basis and in the ordinary course of business of the Company, subject to approval of the Members.

The details of transactions as required under Regulation 23(4) of the Listing Regulations read with Section III-B of the SEBI Master Circular bearing reference no. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/2023/120 dated July 11, 2023 (“SEBI Master Circular”) are set forth below:
