Explanatory Statement

(Pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with rules made thereunder (the “Act”) and SEBI (ICDR) Regulations)

The following Statement sets out all material facts relating to the Resolution mentioned in the accompanying Notice:

Item No. 1

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing of bulk drugs and its intermediates. In the early years of its incorporation, the Company’s financial position went on well. However, during the years 2002-04, due to a sharp fall in Company’s prime product ‘Loratadine’ in the international markets, the Company faced huge financial loss which adversely affected the sustainability of its operations as well as its ability to meet its debt servicing obligations to the banks and financial institutions.

In the year 2003, to tide over the financial mismatch, the financial restructuring of the Company was initiated for the purpose of the re- schedulement of debts and interest payments. On 27[th] July 2006, the CDR-EG Cell had approved the Corporate Debt Restructuring (“CDR”) Scheme of the Company.

Pursuant to the said scheme, the Company had, inter-alia, allotted 97,35,201 (Ninety-Seven Lakh Thirty-Five Thousand Two Hundred One), 0.01% Optionally Convertible Preference Shares (“OCPS”) to its lender banks and financial Institutions for the purpose of settlement of outstanding dues of the Company to those banks/ financial Institutions. The details of allotment and schedule redemption are as under: -

  • 70,40,276 (Seventy Lakh Forty Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Six), 0.01% OCPS issued and allotted on 4[th] May 2007. The due date of redemption was 4[th] May 2014;

  • 17,62,000 (Seventeen Lakh Sixty-Two Thousand), 0.01% OCPS issued and allotted on 31[st] May 2007. The due date of redemption was 31[st] May 2014; and

  • 9,32,925 (Nine Lakh Thirty-Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Five), 0.01% OCPS issued and allotted on 9[th] February 2008. The due date of redemption was 9[th] February 2015.

Additionally, the company in order to re-schedule the redemption, had issued and allotted 0.01% Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares (“CRPS”) to its existing CRPS holders with change of terms and conditions. The details of allotment and schedule of redemption are as under: -

  1. 15,30,000 (Fifteen Lakh Thirty Thousand), 0.01% CRPS issued and allotted on 4[th] May 2007. The due date of redemption was between 4[th] May 2016 to 4[th] May 2017;

  2. 2,00,000 (Two Lakh), 0.01% CRPS issued and allotted on 25[th] July 2008. The due date of redemption was 31[st] March 2012.

The OCPS had to be redeemed or converted into Equity Shares of the Company at the option of the OCPS holders on due date of redemption; and CRPS were to be redeemed on the respective due dates of redemption.

The company could not redeem the said OCPS & CRPS on their due dates as it has accumulated losses in its books and pursuant to provisions of Section 55(2) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”), the preference shares of a company can only be redeemed either (a) out of the profits of that company available for distribution as dividend as per Section 123 of the Act or (b) out of proceeds of the fresh issue of shares made by that company for this purpose. Also, as per Section 123 of the Act, dividend pay-out can only be made from the profits of that company available after setting off the previous year losses, if any. In addition, the conversion option was also not exercised by OCPS holders on due date of redemption.

After passing of the redemption periods, these OCPS and CRPS become ‘unredeemed Preference Shares.’

13

Keeping in view of aforesaid, the company approached the holders of unredeemed Preference Shares to vary the terms of the said Preference Shares, thereby variation of their rights i.e., making them Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares (‘CCPS’) and subsequent conversion thereof into Equity Shares, within a maximum period of 18 months in accordance with SEBI ICDR Regulations.

In this regard, in accordance with the provisions of Section 48 of the Act, read-with applicable rules framed thereunder, the company in terms of consent, in writing, from holders of more than 3/4[th] (75%) OCPS and CRPS for variation of their rights, may proceed with conversion of OCPS and CRPS into CCPS and consequent conversion thereof in Equity Shares.

Further, in terms of Section 48 read with Section 62 of the Act, the consent of the Equity Shareholders is being sought for variation of rights of OCPS and CRPS holders by converting OCPS and CRPS into CCPS and consequent conversion thereof into Equity Shares of face value of Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two Only) each, arising on account conversion, at a conversion price of Rs. 53.72/- (Rupees Fifty-Three and Seventy-Two Paise Only) per share, including a premium of Rs. 51.72/- (Rupees Fifty-One and Seventy-Two Paise Only), a price determined as per SEBI ICDR Regulations.

Therefore, in compliance with the provisions of applicable laws, the proposed resolutions as set out at Item No. 1 is recommended for the approval of shareholders as “Special Resolution”.

The approval of the members is accordingly being sought by way of a “Special Resolution” under Sections 48 and 62(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the rules made thereunder, and Regulation 160 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

The necessary details in terms of Regulation 163 of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations are set forth below:
