EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 FORMING PART OF THIS POSTAL BALLOT NOTICE

Item No. 1 & 2

In addition to its business in India, the Company currently operates its business in the Middle East region (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia & Oman) ( “Middle East Business” ) through its direct and step-down subsidiaries namely, Kaya Middle East DMCC ( “Kaya DMCC” ) and Kaya Middle East FZE ( “Kaya FZE” ), respectively. (Kaya DMCC & Kaya FZE are collectively hereinafter referred to as “Kaya GCC Entities” ).

The Kaya GCC Entities have historically been facing adverse micro-economic and macro-economic headwinds. The situation was further exacerbated by global conflicts, especially tensions and hostilities in the Middle East region. The Kaya GCC Entities have seen increased levels of debt and erosion of their net worth. With the liberalization in the foreign investment regime in the Middle East region, the Company also evaluated restructuring opportunities for the Kaya GCC Entities, in order to improve the business, which did not yield the desired outcome.

The Company conducted a detailed review of the Kaya GCC Entities and the Middle East Business and has arrived at the conclusion that it does not see the Middle East Business being viable.

Considering this, the Company has decided to retain focus on the Indian market where the Company has seen a continuous and strong growth in its revenues and divest the Kaya GCC Entities and the Middle East Business.

Accordingly,

  • (A) the Company has entered into definitive agreements to: (i) sell its entire shareholding in Kaya DMCC to Humania GCC Holding Limited ( “Buyer” ) for a consideration of AED 2.3 Million, subject to customary adjustments in respect of actual debt, actual working capital, gratuity payments to employees of the businesses being transferred and transaction related expenses and payables, in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreements; and (ii) assign and transfer to the Buyer in perpetuity its rights to trademarks bearing the Kaya name in the United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Egypt, Morocco, and Iraq for a consideration of AED 5.5 Million

  • (B) KME Holdings Pte. Ltd. ( “Kaya Singapore” ), a wholly owned material subsidiary of the Company has also entered into definitive agreements to sell its entire shareholding in Kaya FZE to the Buyer for a consideration of AED 30.7 Million, subject to customary adjustments in respect of actual debt, actual working capital, gratuity payments to employees of the businesses being transferred and transaction related expenses and payables, in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreements.

The Company has obtained an independent valuation report which values the Middle East Business including the rights to trademarks bearing “Kaya” used in such businesses that is proposed to be transferred at INR 84 Crores (~ AED 37.6 Million).

In terms of Regulation 24(5), a listed entity is not permitted to dispose of its shareholding in its material subsidiary which results in a reduction of its shareholding (either on its own or together with other subsidiaries) to less than or equal to 50% or cease the exercise of control over the subsidiary without passing a special resolution, except in cases where such divestment is made under a scheme of arrangement or under a resolution plan under the Insolvency code.

Given that the Company will cease to hold any shareholding in Kaya DMCC and cease control over Kaya FZE) (both of which are the Company’s material subsidiaries), approval of the Company’s shareholders is being sought by way of a special resolution.

The list of the intellectual properties being transferred and the valuation report mentioned above will be available for inspection at the Registered Office of the Company during office hours on all working days from the date of dispatch until the last date for receipt of votes by e-voting. Alternately, members may also send their requests to [email protected] from their registered e-mail address mentioning their names, folio numbers, DP ID and Client ID during the voting period of the postal ballot.

None of the Directors and/or Key Managerial Personnel of the Company or their relatives is in any way concerned or interested in the resolutions detailed in Item No. 1 & 2 of the Postal Ballot Notice, except to the extent of their shareholding in the Company, if any.
