In case of a QIP, in accordance with applicable law, the Company shall not utilise the proceeds from such QIP unless allotment is made and the corresponding return of allotment is filed with the Registrar of Companies and final listing and trading approvals are received from each of the Stock Exchanges.

Since the special resolution proposed in the business of the notice may result in the issuance of Equity Shares of the Company to the existing members of the Company and to persons other than existing members of the Company, approval of the members of the Company is being sought pursuant to the provisions of Section 62(1)(c) and other applicable provisions of the Act as well as applicable rules notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and in terms of the provisions of SEBI ICDR Regulations.
In terms of Rule 14(2) of the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014, a company can make a private placement of its securities under the Companies Act, 2013 only after receipt of prior approval of its members by way of a Special Resolution.

Hence, the details of the proposed allottees, percentage of their post Issue shareholding and the shareholding pattern of the Company, timeline of the completion of allotment are not provided. The proposal, therefore, seeks to confer upon the Board/ duly constituted committee by Board, the absolute discretion and adequate flexibility to determine the terms of the Issue, including but not limited to the identification of the proposed investors in the Issue and quantum of Eligible Securities to be issued and allotted to each such investor, in accordance with the provisions of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the Listing Regulations , as amended; the Act; the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and the regulations made thereunder, including the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, the Consolidated FDI Policy issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry & Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India from time to time, each as amended; and other applicable law.

The shareholders are informed that the primary purpose of the fund raise by the Company is to meet the funding requirements of AMLI, a material subsidiary of the Company. The shareholders are hereby also informed that the Company and the Co-promoters of AMLI, viz Axis Bank Limited, Axis Capital Limited and Axis Securities Limited, (herein after referred to as “Axis Shareholders”) had agreed to maintain an inter se shareholding in AMLI of 80.01%: 19.99%. The increase by Axis Shareholders (from the current shareholding of 19.02%) to reach 19.99% is being undertaken by way of a subscription to equity shares of the Axis Max Life by Axis Bank, as approved by AMLI’s Board and recommended to the Company.

21
==> picture [131 x 45] intentionally omitted <==
interest to infuse additional capital into AMLI. While MFSL had initiated a separate fundraising exercise to bring in additional capital into AMLI in the near future, Axis Entities had informed AMLI that it has received requisite approval from RBI to infuse additional share capital of upto Rs. 389 Crores into AMLI. In this regard, MFSL and Axis Entities had agreed, in writing on March 12, 2026 by amending the Additional Right as granted to Axis Entities and that Axis Entities shall collectively have the right, on or before October 5, 2026, to subscribe to such number of Equity Shares as would allow them to acquire an additional 0.98% (zero point nine eight percent) of the paid up equity share capital of AMLI, thereby increasing their aggregate shareholding in AMLI up to 19.99% (nineteen point nine nine percent) of the paid up equity share capital of the Company, at the Fair Market Value determined by the Valuer.
As MFSL will take few months to mobilise the funds, AMLI Board had in its meeting held on April 2, 2026, had considered and recommended to the Company issuance of 2,50,56,200 (Two Crore Fifty Lakhs Fifty Six Thousand Two Hundred) equity shares of AMLI on a preferential basis, at an issue price of ₹ 151.90 (Rupees One Hundred and Fifty One point Nine) per equity share, being the fair market value determined as per the extant regulations, for an aggregate investment amount of ₹ 389 Crores to Axis Bank Limited (“ Axis Bank ”) to augment its paid up share capital to meet its funding requirements.
The members shall further note that the shareholders of MFSL through a postal ballot process accorded their approval on September 27, 2023, for secondary sale of 2,02,53,366 equity shares of AMLI held by the Company to Axis Bank and/or its affiliates. As AMLI is in the process of mobilising share capital to meet its funding requirements, it is now proposed that Axis Bank and/or its affiliates subscribe directly to the equity shares of AMLI instead of secondary acquisition of equity shares of AMLI from the Company as was contemplated earlier to the end and intent that Axis Bank and/or its affiliates to hold upto 19.99% of the equity share capital of AMLI as one of the co-promoters of AMLI.
Accordingly, pursuant to applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and applicable provisions of SEBI LODR Regulations, members of the Company are requested to accord their consent for suitable modifications to the earlier approval accorded by the shareholders on September 27, 2023 respectively to allow AMLI to issue further equity share capital to Axis Bank Limited by way of preferential issue of shares for an investment amount aggregating up to INR 389,00,00,000 (Rupees Three Hundred Eighty Nine Crores).
