HENCE, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS FOR THE TAX PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE LAW STATED BELOW IS AS PER THE IT ACT.

GENERAL

a) As the tendering of Equity Shares is being undertaken on the stock exchange, such transaction will be chargeable to STT. STT is payable in India on the value of securities on every purchase or sale of securities that are listed on the Indian stock exchange. Currently, the STT rate applicable on the purchase and sale of shares on the stock exchange is 0.1% of the value of security transacted.
b) The basis of charge of Indian Income-tax depends upon the residential status of the taxpayer during a tax year. The Indian tax year runs from April 1 until March 31. A person who is an Indian tax resident is liable to income-tax in India on his worldwide income, subject to certain tax exemptions, which are provided under the IT Act.
c) A person who is treated as a non-resident for Indian income-tax purposes is generally subject to tax in India only on such person’s India-sourced income (i.e., income which is received or deemed to be received or accrues or arises or deemed to accrue or arise in India). In case of shares of a company, the source of income from shares would depend on the “situs” of such shares. As

Miven Machine Tools Limited - Open Offer | Draft Letter of Offer

-35-

per judicial precedents, generally the “situs” of the shares is where a company is “incorporated” and where its shares can be transferred.

d) Accordingly, since the Target Company is incorporated in India, the Target Company’s shares should be deemed to be “situated” in India and any gains arising to a non-resident on transfer of such shares should be taxable in India under the IT Act.
e) Further, the non-resident shareholder can avail beneficial treatment under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (“DTAA”) between India and the respective country of which the said shareholder is tax resident subject to satisfying relevant conditions including but not limited to (a) conditions (if any) present in the said DTAA read with the relevant provisions of the MLI as ratified by India with the respective country of which the said shareholder is a tax resident and (b) non-applicability of GAAR and (c) providing and maintaining necessary information and documents as prescribed under the IT Act.
f) The IT Act also provides for different income-tax regimes/ rates applicable to the gains arising from the tendering of shares under the Offer, based on the period of holding, residential status, classification of the shareholder and nature of the income earned, etc.
g) The shareholders may be required to undertake compliances such as filing an annual income tax return, as may be applicable to different categories of persons, with the income tax authorities, reporting their income for the relevant year.
h) The summary of income-tax implications on tendering of listed Equity Shares on the recognised stock exchange in India is set out in the succeeding paras. All references to Equity Shares herein refer to listed Equity Shares unless stated otherwise.

Classification of Shareholders

Public Shareholders can be classified under the following categories:

Resident Shareholders being:

Individuals, Hindu Undivided Family (“ HUF ”), Association of Persons (“ AOP ”) and Body of Individuals (“ BOI ”)
Others
a. Company
b. Other than company

Non-Resident Shareholders being:

Non-Resident Indians (“ NRIs ”)
Foreign Institution Investors (FIIs)/ Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs
Others:
a. Company
b. Other than company

Classification of Shares:

Shares can be classified under the following two categories:

a) Shares held as investment (Income from transfer of such shares taxable under the head
“ Capital Gains ”)

b) Shares held as stock-in-trade (Income from transfer of such shares taxable under the head “Profits and Gains from Business or Profession”). As per the current provisions of the IT Act, unless specifically exempted, gains arising from the transfer of shares may be treated either as “Capital Gains” or as “Business Income” for income-tax purposes, depending upon whether such shares were held as a capital asset or trading asset (i.e., stock-in-trade). Shareholders may also refer to Circular No.6/2016 dated February 29, 2016 issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) in this regard.

Shares held as investment: As per the provisions of the IT Act, where the shares are held as investments (i.e., capital asset), income arising from the transfer of such shares is taxable under the head “Capital Gains”.

Further, Section 2(14) of the IT Act has provided for deemed characterization of securities held by FPIs as capital assets, whether or not such assets have been held as a capital asset; and therefore, the gains arising in the hands of FPIs will be taxable in India as capital gains.

Miven Machine Tools Limited - Open Offer | Draft Letter of Offer

-36-

Capital gains in the hands of shareholders would be computed as per provisions of section 48 of the IT Act and the rate of income-tax would depend on the period of holding.

Period of holding : Depending on the period for which the shares are held, the gains would be taxable as “short-term capital gain/STCG” or “long-term capital gain/LTCG”: Page 48 of 63

a) In respect of Equity Shares held for a period less than or equal to 12 months prior to the date of transfer, the same should be treated as a “short-term capital asset”, and accordingly the gains arising therefrom should be taxable as “short term capital gains” (“ STCG ”).

b) Similarly, where Equity Shares are held for a period more than 12 months prior to the date of transfer, the same should be treated as a “long-term capital asset”, and accordingly the gains arising therefrom should be taxable as “long-term capital gains” (“ LTCG ”).

Tendering of Shares in the Offer through a Recognized Stock Exchange in India:

Where a transaction for transfer of such Equity Shares (i.e., acceptance under the Open offer) is transacted through a Recognized Stock Exchange and is chargeable to STT, then the taxability will be as under (for all categories of shareholders):

a) As per the current provisions of the IT Act, under Section 112A of the IT Act, LTCG arising from transfer of Equity Shares exceeding one lakh rupees will be taxed at a rate of 10 percent without allowing benefit of indexation for resident shareholders and at a rate of 10 percent without allowing benefit of indexation and foreign exchange fluctuation for non-resident shareholders, provided the same has been subjected to STT, upon acquisition and sale.

If no STT is paid on acquisition, then mode of such acquisition should be exempted under the notification issued by CBDT vide Notification No. 60/2018 dated October 1, 2018 in order to get benefit of taxation at 10% under Section 112A of the IT Act. Further, no deduction under Chapter VIA would be allowed in computing LTCG subject to tax under Section 112A of the IT Act.

b) LTCG that arise on shares purchased prior to February 1, 2018 shall be grandfathered for the notional gains earned on such shares till January 31, 2018 as per Section 55 of IT Act.

For computing capital gains under the grandfathering regime, the cost of acquisition for the long-term capital asset acquired on or before January 31, 2018 will be the actual cost. However, if the actual cost is less than the fair market value of such asset as on January 31, 2018, the fair market value will be deemed to be the cost of acquisition.

Further, if the full value of consideration on transfer is less than the fair market value, then such full value of consideration or the actual cost, whichever is higher, will be deemed to be the cost of acquisition.

c) LTCG, as computed u/s. 112A, will not be liable to tax to the extent not exceeding ₹ 1,00,000 (Rupees One lakh only).
d) Where provisions of section 112A of the IT Act are not applicable (for example where STT was not paid at the time of acquisition of the Equity Shares):
i. LTCG will be chargeable to tax at the rate of 20% (plus applicable surcharge and health and education cess) or 10% (plus applicable surcharge and health and education cess) without allowing benefit of indexation, in the case of a non-resident Public Shareholder (other than a FPI/FII, or a NRI who is governed by the provisions of Chapter XII-A of the IT Act) in accordance with provisions of section 112 of the IT Act.

Tax Deduction at Source

a) Resident Shareholders: In absence of any specific provision under the IT Act, the Acquirer is not required to deduct tax on the consideration payable to the shareholders pursuant to Tendering of the listed Equity Shares under the Offer on recognized stock exchange in India.

b) Non-Resident Shareholders:

i. In case of FIIs: Section 196D of the IT Act provides for specific exemption from withholding tax in case of capital gains arising in hands of FIIs. Thus, no withholding of tax is required in case of consideration payable to FIIs/FPIs, subject to fulfilment of the following conditions:

ii. In case of non-resident tax payer (other than FIIs):

•FIIs/FPIs furnishing the copy of the registration certificate issued by SEBI (including for subaccount of FII/FPI, if any);

• FIIs/FPIs declaring that they have invested in the Equity Shares in accordance with the applicable SEBI regulations and will be liable to pay tax on their income as per the provisions of the IT Act.

• If the above conditions are not satisfied, FIIs/FPIs may submit a valid and effective certificate for deduction of tax at a nil/lower rate issued by the income tax authorities under the IT Act (“TDC”), along with the Form of Acceptance-cum-Acknowledgement, indicating the amount of tax to be deducted by the Acquirer before remitting the consideration. The Acquirer shall deduct tax in accordance with such TDC.

In case of non-resident tax payer (other than FIIs):

Section 195(1) of the IT Act provides that any person responsible for paying to a non-resident, any sum chargeable to tax is required to deduct tax at source (including applicable surcharge and cess). Subject to regulations in this regard, wherever applicable and it is required to do so, tax at source (including applicable surcharge and cess) shall be deducted at appropriate rates as per the IT Act read with the provisions of the relevant DTAA and MLI, if applicable. In doing this, the Acquirer will be guided by generally followed practices and make use of data available in its records except in cases where the nonresident shareholders provide a specific mandate in this regard.

However, the Acquirer will not be able to deduct income-tax at source on the consideration payable to such non-resident shareholders as there is no ability for the Acquirer to deduct taxes since the

remittance/payment will be routed through the stock exchange, and there will be no direct payment by the Acquirer to the non-resident shareholders.

Since the tendering of the Equity Shares under the Offer is through the stock exchange, the responsibility to discharge tax due on the gains (if any) is primarily on the non-resident shareholder given that practically it is very difficult to withhold taxes. The Acquirer believes that the responsibility of withholding/ discharge of the taxes due on such gains (if any) on sale of Equity Shares is solely on the non-resident shareholders. It is therefore important for the non-resident shareholders to suitably compute such gains (if any) on this transaction and immediately pay taxes in India in consultation with their custodians, authorized dealers and/or tax advisors, as appropriate. The non-resident shareholders must file their tax return in India interalia considering gains arising pursuant to this Offer in consultation with their tax advisors.

In the event the Acquirer is held liable for the tax liability of the shareholder, the same shall be to the account of the shareholder and to that extent the Acquirer is entitled to be indemnified. The non-resident shareholders also undertake to provide the Acquirer, on demand, the relevant details in respect of the taxability/ non-taxability of the proceeds pursuant to this Open Offer, copy of tax return filed in India, evidence of the tax paid etc.

Remittance/Payment of Interest:

a) In case of interest, if any, paid by the Acquirer to resident and non-resident shareholder for delay in receipt of statutory approvals as per Regulation 18(11) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations or in accordance with Regulation 18(11A) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, the final decision to deduct tax or the quantum of taxes to be deducted rests solely with the Acquirer depending on the settlement mechanism for such interest payments. In the event, the Acquirer decides to withhold tax, the same shall be basis the documents submitted along with the form of acceptance or such additional documents as may be called for by the Acquirer. It is recommended that the shareholders consult their custodians/ authorized dealers/ tax advisors appropriately with respect to the taxability of such interest amount (including on the categorization of the interest, whether as capital gains or as other income). In the event the Acquirer is held liable for the tax liability of the shareholder, the same shall be to the account of the shareholder and to that extent the Acquirer should be indemnified.

b) The shareholders must file their tax return in India inter alia considering the interest (in addition to the gains on the sale of shares), if any, arising pursuant to this Open Offer. The shareholders also undertake to provide the Acquirer, on demand, the relevant details in respect of the taxability/ non-taxability of the proceeds pursuant to this Open Offer, copy of tax return filed in India, evidence of the tax paid etc.
