EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ANNEXED TO THE NOTICE AND SETTING OUT THE MATERIAL FACTS CONCERNING ITEM OF SPECIAL BUSINESS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 ("THE ACT") AND SECRETARIAL STANDARD-2 ON GENERAL MEETINGS ("SS-2"):
Item No 1:
The Members are apprised that in terms of the Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") read with the Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014, as amended to date, no company is permitted to, directly or indirectly, (a) give any loan to any person or other body corporate; (b) give any guarantee or provide security in connection with a loan to any other body corporate or person; and (c) acquire by way of subscription, purchase or otherwise, the securities of any other body corporate, exceeding sixty percent of its paid-up share capital, free reserves and securities premium account or one hundred per cent of its free reserves and securities premium account, whichever is more without prior approval of members by way of a Special Resolution.

Item No 2:
The members are apprised that, on recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company ("the Board") in their meeting held on September 29, 2025, had considered and noted the proposal received from John Cockerill SA ("JC SA"), the Parent Company and a related party under the provision of Regulation 2(1)(zb) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, 2015, wherein as part of a global reorganization initiative it has undertaken a rationalization of its metals business lines to enhance operational focus and create value for customers and shareholders, by re-organising such businesses under the Company ("Proposed Transaction").
In this regard, a New Company named John Cockerill Metals International SA ("JC Metal"), located in Belgium, was incorporated by JCSA, to which it would be transferring its metals-related business activities, including the Metals Liège Business which comprises of:
- a) Business unit of JC SA specialized in strip processing, process equipment, automation, and new development; and
- b) Shareholdings which form part of the business unit and are held by JC SA in: (i) John Cockerill UVK (Germany) (a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of Germany specialized in chemical treatment of the strip and acid regeneration, and (ii) in John Cockerill Industry Technology (China) (a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of China with expertise in design, procurement and quality control).
Further, to give effect to the Proposed Transaction, it is proposed that upon the transfer of the Metals Liège Business as abovementioned from JC SA to JC Metal in exchange of new shares of the JC Metal to be issued to JC SA, the Company will, subject to the terms of the share purchase agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") to be entered into between the Company and JC SA, acquire the entire shareholding of JC Metal (incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary) held by JC SA, the Parent / Promoter Company, for an aggregate purchase price of an amount aggregating to €29.668.227 (Twenty Nine Million Six Hundred And Sixty Eight Thousand And Two Hundred Twenty Seven Euros) to be paid by the Company to JC SA by way of: (a) upfront payment aggregating to €5.000.000 (five million Euros); and (b) the balance payment to be made by the Company to JC SA on a deferred basis on or before the date falling sixty (60) months from the date of purchase of the shares of the JC Metal by the Company from JC SA ("Deferred Payment Due Date")("Proposed Transaction – Part I"). The said Proposed Transaction – Part I is proposed to be completed within approximately 90 (ninety) days from November 4, 2025 i.e. the date of board approving the Proposed Transaction, subject to receipt of necessary approvals including any Statutory/ Regulatory Approval, if required.
The members may further note that subsequently, JC SA would, subject to terms of the share purchase agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") to be entered into between the Company and JC SA shall also be causing its affiliate John Cockerill North America Inc. (a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware ("JCNA"), to transfer the shares held by JCNA in John Cockerill Industry North America Inc. (a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with expertise in heating processes) ("JCINA"), to the JC Metal ("Proposed Transaction-Part II"). The aforesaid Proposed Transaction-Part II is proposed to be consummated subsequently on or prior to December 31, 2026, subject to receipt of all approvals, including any Statutory/ Regulatory Approval, as may be required.
It is also proposed that the purchase price to be paid by JC Metal for the acquisition of the shares of JCINA from JCNA will be deferred for a period extending to the date of the Deferred Payment Due Date. It is further proposed that JCNA would also extend a vendor loan for an amount equivalent to the purchase price of the shares of JCINA to the JC Metal for the same period against payment of an interest amount to be paid by JC Metal to JCNA at the market conform rate ("Vendor Loan"). Also, the members may note that subject to receipt of any third party / statutory/ regulatory approvals as may be applicable and subject to compliance of applicable laws, the Company may undertake a capital increase of the JC Metal, if the JC Metal is not in a position to repay all or part of the Vendor Loan within the aforementioned time period, unless otherwise mutually agreed between JC SA and the Company. The members may also note that at such time, the JC Metal would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Members may please note that the Company hereby seek approval of the Shareholders of the Company for the Proposed Transaction, which shall also include approval to the following transactions to be undertaken in regard to JC Metal, the Proposed Wholly Owned Subsidiary, subject to regulatory/statutory authority approvals required, if any:
(a) Acquisition by the Company of the entire shareholding held by JCSA the Parent / Promoter Company in JC Metal ("Proposed Transaction – Part I");
- (b) Acquisition by JC Metal of the entire shareholding held by JCNA in JCINA ("Proposed Transaction – Part II");
- (c) Availing a vendor loan by JC Metal from JCNA for an amount equivalent to the purchase price for the shares of JCINA ("Vendor Loan") and payment of interest thereof at the market conform rate by JC Metal to JCNA in respect of the Vendor Loan, on terms as mutually agreed between JC Metal and JCNA.
To ensure transparency and protect the interests of minority shareholders for the proposed transaction, the Board constituted a Committee of Independent Directors ("Independent Directors Committee") to independently evaluate the viability of the transaction and the outcomes for the Company. Accordingly, this Independent Directors Committee appointed SSPA & Co., an Independent Registered Valuer bearing Registration Number IBBI/RV-E/06/2020/126 ("Registered Valuer"), to assess the fair value of the Proposed Transaction.
The valuation report submitted by registered valuer has been reviewed and accepted by the Board, which satisfies that the transaction is being conducted on an arm's length basis and in the ordinary course of business.
The members are further apprised that pursuant to the provisions of Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014, consent of the Board and prior approval of the members of the Company by way of ordinary resolution is required, in cases where certain transactions with related parties exceed such sum as specified in the said Rules. Further, the aforesaid provisions are not applicable in respect of transactions which are in the ordinary course of business and are on arm's length basis.
Notwithstanding the above, Regulation 23 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 mandates prior approval of members through an Ordinary Resolution for all material related party transactions, even if they are in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms. A transaction is deemed material if it exceeds ₹1,000 crore or 10% of the annual consolidated turnover of the listed entity, as per the last Audited Financial Statements, whichever is lower.
The proposed acquisition qualifies as a material related party transaction, as its estimated value combined with existing related party transactions with JC SA exceeds 10% of the Company's annual consolidated turnover. Accordingly, transaction would require prior approval of the shareholders by way of Ordinary Resolution.
The Committee of Independent Directors at its meeting held on November 4, 2025, reviewed the valuation report and all necessary information as placed before the committees and has considered, approved and submitted it report for recommendation of proposed transaction to the Audit Committee and Board.
Subsequently, the Board in their meeting held on November 4, 2025, upon approval and recommendation of Audit Committee, has approved the proposed transaction and recommended the same to the shareholders for their consideration and approval.
The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer certificate justifying that the terms of the proposed transaction are in the interest of the Company, which was also relied upon by the Audit Committee and Board is annexed to as Annexure A.
Further, as required by Regulation 23 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 read along with SEBI Circular on Industry Standards on "Minimum information to be provided to the Audit Committee and Shareholders for approval of Related Party Transactions" dated June 26, 2025 and October 13, 2025 ("Industry Standards on Related Party Transactions").
