Since the Buy-back is more than 10% of the total paid-up Equity Share capital and free reserves (including Securities Premium Account) as per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2019, in terms of Section 68(2) of the Act, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the Members of the Company by way of a special resolution for the Buy-back.

1. Rationale/Necessity of Buy-back:
The Buy-back is being proposed by the Company to return surplus funds to the shareholders, which are over and above its ordinary capital requirements and in excess of any current investment plans, in an expedient, effective and cost-efficient manner. Additionally, the Company’s management strives to increase shareholders’ value and the Buy-back would result in, amongst other things:
==> picture [453 x 78] intentionally omitted <==
- (i). optimizing returns to shareholders;
(ii). enhancing overall shareholder value;
(iii). achieving optimal capital structure;
(iv). mitigating the effects of short-term market volatility; and
- (v). enhancing shareholders’ confidence.
2. Description of Equity Shares and Number of Equity Shares eligible for the Buy-back:
The Company proposes to buy-back up to 31,42,857 equity shares of the face value of ₹ 10/- each representing up to 4.84% of the total no. of equity shares of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company at the maximum price of ₹ 700/- per Equity Share for an aggregate amount not exceeding ₹ 220,00,00,000/- (Rupees Two Hundred Twenty Crores Only).
3. Method to be adopted for the Buy-back:
The Company proposes to undertake the Buy-back, on a proportionate basis, through a tender offer in accordance with the provisions of the Buy-back Regulations, to the extent permissible, and the “Mechanism for acquisition of shares through Stock Exchanges” as prescribed under the SEBI Circular (the “ SEBI Circular ”). The Buy-back will be implemented in accordance with the Act read with the rules framed thereunder, the Buy-back Regulations, the SEBI Circular and on such terms and conditions as may be deemed fit by the Company.
15% of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to buy-back or such number of Equity Shares entitled as per the shareholding, whichever is higher, shall be reserved for small shareholders, in accordance with Regulation 6 of the Buy-back Regulations.
A “small shareholder” in accordance with Regulation 2(i)(n) of the Buy-back Regulations is a shareholder of a listed company, who holds shares or other specified securities whose market value, on the basis of closing price of shares or other specified securities, on the recognized stock exchange in which highest trading volume in respect of such securities, as on the record date, is not more than ₹ 2,00,000/-.
As required under the Buy-back Regulations, the Company will announce a record date (“ Record Date ”) for determining the names of the Members holding Equity Shares of the Company who will be eligible to participate in the Buy-back (“ Eligible Shareholder(s) ”). Consequent to the approval of the Buy-back, Eligible Shareholders will receive a Letter of Offer along with a Tender/Offer Form indicating their entitlement. The Equity Shares to be bought back is divided in two categories:
-
i. Reserved category for Small Shareholders; and
-
ii. General category for all other shareholders.
Based on the holding on the Record Date, the Company will determine the entitlement of each Eligible Shareholder to tender their shares in the Buy-back. This entitlement for each Eligible Shareholder will be calculated based on the number of Equity Shares held by the respective shareholder as on the Record Date and the ratio of the Buy-back applicable in the category to which such shareholder belongs.
Shareholders’ participation in Buy-back will be voluntary. Eligible Shareholder(s) holding Equity Shares of the Company can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of shares to be accepted under the Buy-back or they may choose not to participate. Eligible Shareholder(s) holding Equity Shares of the Company may also chose to accept only a part of their entitlement. Eligible Shareholder(s) holding Equity Shares of the Company also have the option of tendering additional shares (over and above their entitlement) and participate in the shortfall created due to nonparticipation of some other shareholders, if any.
Detailed instructions for participation in the Buy-back (tender of equity shares in the Buy-back) as well as the relevant time table will be included in the Letter of Offer which will be sent in due course to the equity shareholders as on the record date.
4. Maximum amount required under the Buy-back, its percentage of total paid up equity share capital and free reserves and the sources of funds from which the Buy-back would be financed:
The maximum amount required for the Buy-back will not exceed ₹ 220,00,00,000/- and the said amount is approximately 23.92% of the total paid-up Equity Share Capital and free reserves (including Securities Premium Account) as per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2019.
Buy-back shall be made by the Company from its current surplus and/or cash balances and/or internal accruals, and on such terms and conditions as the Board or a duly constituted committee thereof may decide from time to time in compliance with applicable provisions of the Companies Act and Buy-back Regulations, in the absolute discretion as it may deem fit. The Company shall transfer a sum equal to the nominal value of the Equity Shares proposed to be bought back in the Buy-back to the Capital Redemption Reserve account and the details of such transfer shall be disclosed in its subsequent audited Balance Sheet.
5. Maximum Buy-back Price and the Basis of arriving at the Maximum Buy-back Price:
The Equity Shares are proposed to be bought back at a price not exceeding ₹ 700/- per Equity Share (the “Maximum Buy-back Price” ).
The Buy-back Offer Price has been arrived at after considering various factors, including the volume weighted average prices /closing prices of the equity shares of the Company on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (the “Stock Exchanges” ) where the Equity Shares are listed and traded, the net worth of the Company and the impact of the Buy-back on the earnings per Equity Share.
The Maximum Buy-back Price of ₹ 700/- per equity shares represents (i) premium of 87.18% on BSE and 73.49% on NSE over the volume weighted average price of the equity shares on BSE and NSE respectively for three months preceding the date of intimation to the Stock Exchanges for the Board Meeting to consider the proposal of the Buyback; (ii) premium of 109.38% on BSE and 108.39% on NSE over the volume weighted average price of the equity shares on BSE and NSE respectively for 2 weeks preceding the date of intimation to the Stock Exchanges for the Board Meeting to consider the proposal of the Buy-back; and (iii) premium of 100.83% on BSE and 100.77% on NSE over the closing market price of the equity shares on BSE and NSE as on April 27, 2020 i.e. the date of intimation to the Stock Exchanges for the Board Meeting to consider the proposal of the Buy-back.
6. Maximum Number of Equity Shares that the Company proposes to Buy-back:
The Board of Directors or the Buy-back Committee formed by them, is hereby authorised to decide the final Buyback price before making the Public Announcement, but at the Maximum Buy-back Price of ₹ 700/-per Equity Share and for Maximum Buy-back Size not exceeding ₹ 220,00,00,000/- excluding Transaction Costs. The indicative maximum number of Equity Shares that can be bought back would be up to 31,42,857 Equity Shares (representing 4.84% of the total number of equity shares of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company). In the event the final Buy-back price is lower than ₹ 700/-per Equity Share (“ Maximum Buy-back Price ”), the indicative number of shares and the percentage thereof shall go up accordingly.

Under the provisions of the Act, the funds deployed for the Buy-back cannot exceed 25% of the total paid-up Equity Share capital and free reserves of the Company, being up to ₹ 229,90,85,639 and ₹ 229,92,78,238, as per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2019 respectively.
