EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

(Pursuant to Section I 02 of the Companies Act, 2013)

- Background and Rationale Item nos. I. 2. 3 and 4

The Company is, inter-alia, engaged in manufacturing plastic films and non-woven fabrics. The Company's plastic films business comprises of manufacturing and marketing of biaxially­ oriented polyethylene terephthalate films, biaxially oriented polypropylene films (including capacitor films), polyethylene terephthalate chips (including bottle grade), cast polypropylene films, biaxially oriented polyamide film and biaxially-orientated polyethylene films, in a manufacturing unit of the Company located at Nasik, India (along .with its employees, customers, suppliers, agents (including sub-agents), contractors, and other partner relationships, including verbal agreements and formal contracts, causes of actions and any or all assets, properties, liabilities, licenses, permits, consents, approvals relating to the plastic films business undertaking of the Company) ("Plastic Films Business").

The Company has been evaluating its position, business strategy and exploring various options to unlock value in the Plastic Films Business in order to enhance shareholders' value in the Company. One of the options evaluated by the Company, contemplates subsidiarisation of the Plastic Films Business to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company believes that this option will provide the structural flexibility to induct one or more investor and/or strategic partner in order to help grow the Plastic Films Business in a structured

[11]

manner, and will help provide a focused strategy for achieving the growth potential of the Plastic Films Business. Post the proposed subsidiarization, the Company will continue to retain the non-woven fabrics business and other corporate assets.

While the Company was evaluating the options to enhance shareholders' value and subsidiarisation of the Plastic Films Business to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company was approached by Project Holdings Fourteen (DIFC) Limited, a special purpose vehicle ("Investor"), which is an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management's (NYSE: BAM) flagship special investment fund ("BAM") to partner with the Company in the plastic Films Business. BAM is a Canadian multi-national investment company and global leader in alternative asset management, which globally owns and operates $700,000,000,000 (United States Dollars Seven Hundred Billion only) billion of assets, with interests in various sectors.

Pursuant to discussions between the Company and the Investor, it has been agreed that the Company will transfer the Plastic Films Business to JPFL Films Private Limited ("JFPL") (formerly known as J. And D. Speciality Films Private Limited), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, the business undertaking of Jindal Films India Limited ("JFIL") relating to manufacturing of flexible plastic films will also be transferred to the wholly­ subsidiary of the Company ("JFIL Plastics Films Business"). Upon transfer of the Plastic Films Business and JFIL Plastic Films Business to JFPL, the Investor will invest an aggregate amount of INR 20,000,000,000 (Indian Rupees Two Thousand Crores only) ("Investment Amount") pursuant to: (a) acquisition of 20 of equity shares of JFPL from the Company for a consideration of INR I 0,000,000 (Indian Rupees One Crores only); and (b) subscription to 19,990 compulsorily convertible preference shares to be issued by JFPL to the Investor for a consideration of INR 19,990,000,000 (Indian Rupees One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Crores only), which would lead the Investor to acquiring a non-controlling minority stake in JFPL (collectively, the "Transaction").

Key principles on the basis of which this investment is proposed to be made in JFPL by the Investor include the ability of the Investor to liquidate its investment in JFPL and ensuring high standards of corporate governance are followed in relation to business and operations of JFPL, including timely provision of information in relation to the operations of the business being provided to the Investor.

Pursuant to approval of the board of directors of the Company ("Board"), the Company and JFPL has executed, inter alia, a business transfer agreement and other ancillary agreements for the transfer of the Plastic Films Business to JFPL, a share subscription and purchase agreement with the Investor, a shareholders' agreement with the Investor, in relation to the Transaction ("Transaction Documents").

The proposed Transaction should result in a viable and sustainable structure for the Company (having regard to the interests of all stakeholders including the Company's shareholders and employees) and should assist in creating a platform that will enable the Company to implement its long-term strategy to:

  • help the Company to build a surplus cash reserve, which will enable the Company to take decisions towards the future growth and expansion of the business of the Company.

[12]

  • help the Company to enhance and bring efficiencies for evolving and advancing the Plastics Films Business.

  • Partnering with a reputed global investor with approximately USO 700,000,000,000 (United States Dollars Seven Hundred Billion only) of assets under management and presence in 30+ countries to jointly enhance the Company's operations. With a presence across real estate, infrastructure, renewable and private equity, Brookfield has more than a I 00-year track record as an investor in long-life, high-quality operationally intensive businesses with extensive asset management, fundraising and capital markets experience. Brookfield's presence on the board is expected to add strategic value and operational expertise.

  • Improving the standards of corporate governance to meet the global standards, prevalent across other jurisdictions.

Further, the proposed Transaction will also benefit JFPL, which will operate and undertake the Plastic Films Business after completion of the Transaction, and will enable JFPL to achieve the following:

  • Access to the global network of Brookfield Asset Management for revenues optimization, operational improvements, and global best practices.

  • Future potential support from Brookfield Asset Management when JFPL wants to introduce cutting-edge future technologies in India in the plastics film business.

  • Access to the network of experts available globally within Brookfield Asset Management.

Item No. I

In order to corisummate the Transaction, the Company proposes to transfer the Plastic Films Business of the Company to JFPL, which shall receive the Investment Amount from the Investor, and shall run and operate the Plastic Films Business. To achieve this, the Board has resolved to transfer the Plastic Films Business, by way of slump sale as a 'going concern' as an inseparable whole, without values being assigned to the individual assets and liabilities of the undertaking, to JFPL, subject to such terms and conditions set out in the business transfer agreement executed with JFPL and other ancillary agreements executed for the purposes of such business transfer, each of which may be amended from time to time("Business Transfer").

As per Sections 180( I )(a), and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (as amended from time to time) read with the rules framed thereunder ("Act"), the board of directors of a company ("Board") shall not inter-alia, transfer, convey etc. except with the approval of the members by way of special resolution the whole, or substantially the whole, of the undertaking of the Company. Explanation (i) to Section 180( I )(a) of the Act provides that the expression "undertaking shall mean an undertaking in which the investment of the Company exceeds 20% of its net worth as per the audited Balance Sheet of the preceding year or an undertaking which generates 20% of the total income of the Company during the previous financial year.

[13]

The Company has evaluated the financial results for financial year 2020-21, and it has been concluded that the net worth of Plastic Films Business exceeds 20% of the net worth of the Company and the revenue generated by the Plastic Films Business exceeds 20% of the revenue of the Company for financial year 2020-21. Therefore, the Plastic Films Business will be considered as 'undertaking' in terms of Section 180( I )(a) of the Act. Accordingly, approval of the shareholders / members of the Company, under the provisions of the Sections 180( I )(a) and other applicable provisions of the Act, and applicable provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 20 I 5 (as amended from time to time) ("SEBI LODR"), is sought by way of special resolution to transfer, assign, restructure or convey the Plastic Films Business to JFPL.

Further, it may be noted that since JFPL is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, accounts of which are consolidated with the Company and are placed for approval before the shareholders at the annual general meeting, approval under Section 188 of the Act and Regulation 23(5) of the SEBI LODR is not required in connection with the proposed Business Transfer.

Item no. I of this notice relates to the transfer of the Plastic Films Business. The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the Board to transfer the Plastic Films Business to JFPL as aforesaid, subject to obtaining all other necessary statutory approvals, and on such terms and conditions as the Board of the Company may deem fit, without any further reference to the shareholders / members of the Company.

The Board recommends the resolution set out in this notice for approval of the members of the Company. None of the Directors / Key Managerial Personnel of the Company / their relatives are in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in this special resolution.

Item No. 2

The Transaction Documents contain several time-linked exit options available to the Investor, such as provisions relating to listing the securities of J FPL. In the event such exit is not achieved in the manner set out in the Transaction Documents, JFPL shall initiate a series of steps to inter alia enable the Investor to liquidate its investment in JFPL.

In a scenario where the shareholder of the Company do not approve steps required for providing, inter a/ia exit to the Investor, in the manner contemplated under the Transaction Documents, the Investor shall have the right to require the Company to purchase the entire shareholding of the Investor in JFPL at a price determined as per, and on terms and conditions set out in the Transaction Documents ("Put Option"). The Put Obligation is an important element of the rights package of the Investor in relation to the Transaction. Approval of the Put Option by the shareholders of the Company by way of this resolution will facilitate the closing of the Transaction with the Investor, which in turn, will enable the Company to implement its long-term strategy and enhancing value for shareholders' of the Company, as specified above.

[14]

While the price per share at which the Put Option will be exercised cannot be determined upfront, the sale of the shares held by the Investors will be consummated at a price at the time of the exercise of the Put Option by the Investor, to be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents.

In this regard, it may be noted that pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 23(4) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended from time to time) ("SEBI LODR"), any material transaction entered into between related parties is to be approved by the Shareholders of the company by way of passing an ordinary resolution. In this regard, it may be noted the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) (Sixth Amendment) Regulations, 2021, defines 'related party transactions' (which definition will come into effect from I April 2022) to mean, inter a/ia, a transaction involving a transfer of resources, services or obligations between a listed entity or any of its subsidiaries on one hand and a related party of the listed entity or any of its subsidiaries on the other hand. Additionally, Regulation 23( I) of the SEBI LODR further provides that any related party transaction which exceeds I 0% (ten percent) of the annual consolidated turnover of the Company as per the last audited financial statement of the Company shall be considered a material related party transaction.

Given that the Put Option includes the Company (which is a listed entity) and the Investor (which is a related party of JFPL, a subsidiary of the Company), and the value of such transaction is likely to exceed I 0% (ten percent) of the annual consolidated turnover of the Company as per the audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year in which the Investor contemplates to sell its shareholding in the Company (determined on projections basis the audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year 202021 ), therefore, approval of the shareholders/ members of the Company, under the provisions of Regulation 23 of the SEBI LODR (as amended from time to time, including the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) (Sixth Amendment) Regulations, 2021 ), is sought by way of an ordinary resolution to approve the right of the Investor to exercise the Put Option on terms and conditions set out in, the Transaction Documents.

None of the Directors / Key Managerial Personnel of the Company / their relatives are in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in this special resolution.

Item No. 4

As specified above, maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance in JFPL is of paramount importance to the Company and the Investor. To that effect, the Transaction Documents contain a list of reserved matters in relation to which decisions cannot be taken by JFPL without the prior approval of the Investor and the Company.

Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain events of material breach of obligations by the Company in relation to the functioning of JFPL, the Transaction Documents provide for enhanced governance rights in relation to operations of JFPL where JFPL will be required to seek the prior consent of the Investor and the Company in relation to all matters referred/ required to be referred to the board of directors and/or shareholders of JFPL for their approval("Enhanced Governance Rights").

Regulation 24(5) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended from time to time) ("SEBI LODR"), provides that no company shall dispose of shares in its material subsidiary which would reduce its shareholding (either on its own or together with other subsidiaries) to less than fifty percent or cease the exercise of control over the subsidiary without passing a special

[16]

resolution in its general meeting, except in cases where such divestment is made under a scheme of arrangement duly approved by a Court/ Tribunal or under a resolution plan duly approved under Section 31 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. Regulation 16( I )(c) of the SEBI LODR provides that "material subsidiary" shall mean a subsidiary, whose income or net worth exceeds I 0% (ten percent) of the consolidated income or net worth respectively, of the listed entity and its subsidiaries in the immediately preceding accounting year. Further, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 20 I I (as amended from time to time) ("SEBI Takeover Code") provides that "control" shall include the right to appoint majority of the directors or to control the management or policy decisions exercisable by a person or persons acting individually or in concert, directly or indirectly, including by virtue of their shareholding or management rights or shareholders agreements or voting agreements or in any other manner.

The Company has evaluated the financial results for financial year 2021-22, and it has been concluded that the net worth of Plastic Films Business exceeds I 0% of the consolidated income or net worth respectively, of the Company in the immediately preceding accounting year. Currently JFPL is not a material subsidiary but post transfer of the Plastic Films Business, it will become a material subsidiary of the Company as JFPL's net worth will exceed ten percent of the consolidated net worth of the Company basis the Audited Financial Statements for the Financial Year 2022-23.

In this regard, the right of the Investor to exercise Enhance Governance Rights in JFPL, a material subsidiary of the Company, upon the occurrence of specific events of material breach of the Transaction Documents (as set out above) may be deemed to lead to the Company ceasing to exercise control over JFPL, and therefore, approval of the shareholders/ members of the Company, under the provisions of Regulation 24(5) of the SEBI LODR, is sought by way of a special resolution to approve the right of the Investor to exercise the Enhanced Governance Rights on terms and conditions set out in the Transaction Documents. None of the Directors I Key Managerial Personnel of the Company / their relatives are in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in this special resolution.

The Board recommends the item no. 4 set out in this notice for approval of the members of the Company.

None of the Directors I Key Managerial Personnel of the Company/ their relatives are in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in this special resolution.
