Relevant Date i.e., Thursday, September 28, 2023, has been considered for determining the floor price in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

  • a. the 90 trading days volume weighted average price of the related equity shares quoted on the recognized stock exchange preceding the relevant date; or

  • b. the 10 trading days volume weighted average prices of the related equity shares quoted on a recognized stock exchange preceding the relevant date

Considering that the allotment shall be more than 5% of the post-issue fully diluted share capital of the Company, to the Proposed Allottee, the price of Rs. 1,754.07 (Rupees One Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Four and seven paise only) of the Equity Shares to be issued and allotted to the Proposed Allottee has been determined taking into account the valuation report dated October 5, 2023 issued by CA Subhas Hedge, Registered Valuer, proprietor of M/s.

It is to be noted that nothing mentioned in the Articles of Association of the Company provides for a method of determination of floor price for Equity Shares to be allotted under the preferential issue.

As the issue size is more than Rs. 100 Crore (Rupees One Hundred Crore Only), the Company is required to appoint a credit rating agency as a monitoring agency in terms of regulation 162A of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations and accordingly the Board of Directors of the Company has in its meeting held on October 5, 2023 appointed CRISIL Ratings Limited as the Monitoring agency in terms of 162 A of the (SEBI ICDR) Regulations.
