In relation to the aforesaid Shareholders Agreement, the Company is required to amend the Articles of Association, to incorporate the terms of the Shareholders Agreement. The draft of amended and restated Articles of Association is enclosed as Annexure A of this notice. The Board is accordingly desirous of adopting amended and restated Articles of Association.

Articles 3.2 ( Corporate Governance ), 4 ( Reserved Matters ), 8 ( Pre-Emptive Rights ) and 11 ( Information and Inspection Rights ) of the draft Articles of Association (as set out in Annexure A) are special rights which will be subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of a Special Resolution once in every five years starting from the date of such grant. All other rights as set out in the Shareholders Agreement and/or the Articles of Association are not special rights and include rights which the Acquirer has against the Existing Promoters (and vice versa) which are not subject to approval under Regulation

21 | 23

31B of the SEBI LODR Regulations. For avoidance of doubt, all rights of the Acquirer under the Shareholders Agreement and/or the Articles of Association (from the date of effectiveness) including special rights (and other rights associated with them) are available to Acquirer and will be binding and enforceable on the Existing Promoter irrespective of the approval under Regulation 31B of the SEBI LODR Regulations.

The key special rights being provided to the Acquirer and the Existing Promoters and other provisions under the Shareholders Agreement (including inter-se rights amongst Acquirer and Existing Promoters) and as incorporated in Part B of the updated Articles of Association proposed to be adopted by the Company are inter-alia briefly set out below:

  • (a) The Acquirer can nominate up to 3 directors and 1 committee member if it holds at least 10% shareholding, while the Existing Promoters can nominate up to 2 directors and 1 committee member under the same condition.

  • (b) The Acquirer and the Existing Promoters have mutual rights of first offer and tag along when the respective other sells. The Acquirer also has a drag along right on the Existing Promoter when the Acquirer sells all its shares.

  • (c) The Acquirer has a veto right on the following matters:

  • (i) any amendment to the charter documents;

  • (ii) any appointment, removal or change in the statutory or internal auditors and/or any change in the terms of appointment (including remuneration) of such auditors;

  • (iii) any agreements, arrangements and/or transactions entered into with any related party;

  • (iv) appointment, removal and all terms of engagement of Key Managerial Personnel;

  • (v) any fundraising (including issuance of securities by way of a preferential allotment, qualified institutional placement, follow on public offering or rights issue or in any other way and raising of debt in any way);

  • (vi) approving the annual business plan of the group companies and any modifications thereto or deviations therefrom in actual practice; and

  • (vii) any corporate restructuring, including capital reduction, security-swap transactions, mergers/ amalgamations, demergers, delisting, acquisition or transfer of one or more business or assets.

  • (d) The Existing Promoter is required to give effect to all decisions of the Acquirer in relation to the matters set out in under para c(iv) to (c) (vii) (“ Specific Matters ”).

  • (e) The Acquirer and Existing Promoters have mutual pre-emptive rights based on prorata shareholding .

  • (f) Event of default: Upon occurrence of an event of default (i.e. breach of specified obligations), the Existing Promoters loses all rights under the Shareholders Agreement and the Acquirer's obligations towards them also cease. Existing Promoter Directors must resign or be removed immediately and their obligations to give effect to decisions of the Acquirer will extend to all Company matters, not just Specific Matters, while all other obligations remain in full force.

  • (g) The Acquirer also has rights of inspection and access to the books, records and directors, etc. and right to receive all information necessary to keep it properly informed about the Company's and group companies’ business including quarterly management accounts, default notice including in relation to any borrowing or any governmental investigation, audited standalone financial statements and annual report, etc.

The aforesaid rights and provisions will become effective on the Shareholders Agreement coming into effect as per the terms set out thereunder.

Section 5 and 14 of the Act requires that any amendment to the articles of association of a company by approved by the shareholders of the company by a special resolution. The Board is accordingly desirous of adopting amended and restated Articles of Association and accordingly, the Board seeks the consent of the Members of the Company by way of a special resolution for adoption of the amended Articles of Association of the Company.

Regulation 31B of the SEBI LODR Regulations requires that any special rights granted to the shareholders of the Company shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company by way of a Special Resolution once in every five years starting from the date of such grant.

Accordingly, the Board seeks the consent of the members of the Company by way of a Special Resolution, in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 31B of the SEBI LODR Regulations and other applicable laws.

It is proposed that any investor holding substantial equity shares above certain threshold, would have a right to appoint nominee directors on the Board and other rights as contemplated above, which will facilitate the Company with stable shareholding control, directional control and stability of the Company. The special resolution as set out in the notice is therefore recommended for approval.
