ITEM NO. 8

The Company had issued 14,28,30,637 Optionally Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares ("OCRPS") at a price of Rs. 39.10 (including premium of Rs. 37.10) per share to the lenders aggregating to Rs. 559 Cr (including premium of i.e. Rs. 37.10 per OCRPS aggregating to Rs.529.90 Cr) pursuant to provisions of the Conversion cum Subscription Agreement dated May 18, 2017, executed amongst lenders (with exposure in Funded Interest Term Loan (I&II)) and the Company. The aforesaid issuance of OCRPS to the lenders was approved by the Members at an Extra Ordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 11th February, 2017.

As per the terms of the OCRPS, these are redeemable at the option of the Company, anytime upto 31st October 2020. If these are not redeemed by then, the lenders have an option to convert these into equal number of equity shares of the Company anytime upto 31st March 2022. If neither of these options are exercised, these are redeemable in April 2022. If redeemed, the Company shall be obligated to pay and recompense amount upto the date of redemption.

As per Section 55 (2) (a) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"), the redemption of OCRPS could be made out of the profits of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or out of proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purposes of such redemption. Further, as per provisions of Section 55(2)(d) of the Act, the balance in security premium could be utilized towards payment of premium on OCRPS.

Since, the Company does not have distributable profits, it would require issuance of equity share capital to provide for funds to redeem the face value of OCRPS. The Company is also contemplating to raise secured debt to augment its cash flows so as to assist in discharge of payment of premium on the OCRPS. .

The redemption of OCRPS would assist in reducing the exposure of existing lenders in the Company and will restrict the possible increase in the number of equity shares upon conversion of OCRPS.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors in its meeting held on 5th August, 2019 has therefore approved to offer, issue and allot 80,12,940 equity shares of the Company, having a face value of Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two only) each ("Equity Shares") at a price of Rs. 35.65 (Rupees Thirty Five and Sixty Five Paisa only) including premium of Rs. 33.65 (Rupees Thirty Three and Sixty Five Paisa only) per equity share aggregating to Rs. 28,56,61,311 (Rupees Twenty Eight Crore Fifty Six Lakh Sixty One Thousand Three Hundred and Eleven only) ("Equity Shares"), on a preferential basis to JSL Limited, one of the promoter group entity for which the approval of the Members is being sought.

As per, Sections 42 and 62(1)(c) of the Act and Chapter V of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 ("ICDR Regulations"), a listed issuer may make a preferential issue of specified securities, if a special resolution has been passed by its shareholders.

Your Directors recommend the resolution set out at Item No. 8 as a Special Resolution to the Members for their approval.
