Item No. 6: Approval for the proposed Related Party Transaction

In terms of the approval of the Members of the Company granted at their 61[st] AGM held on September 29, 2020, the Company has entered into a Management Services Agreement dated September 30, 2020 (“MSA”) with Nirlon Management Services Private Limited (“NMSPL”) , being a related party of the Company as such term is defined under the Companies Act, 2013 and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“SEBI LODR”) . In terms of the MSA, NMSPL has been providing lease management, property management, marketing, project management and general management services to the Company.

As per the Company’s registered Agreement to License with J.P. Morgan Services India Pvt. Ltd. (“JPM”) to license the entire approximately 1.16 million sq. feet of chargeable area in Phase 5, the Company is required to make additions and alterations to its base building project as per the requirements of JPM (“Additional JPM Work”) , at the cost of JPM.

As the Phase 5 building belongs to the Company and is being built as per its design and specifications, JPM and the Company have agreed that this Additional JPM Work should be carried out by the Company and not by JPM. Therefore, in consultation with JPM, the Company made suitable changes to the project schedule and sequence to accommodate this requirement of JPM.

The Company and JPM have agreed to the compensation payable to the Company by JPM for carrying out this Additional JPM Work. The compensation payable is in line with prevalent market rates for comparable work.

Since NMSPL is already providing Project Management services for Phase 5 and the Additional JPM Work required by JPM is being undertaken as part of Phase 5 work, operationally and commercially it would be prudent for NL to outsource the Additional JPM Work to NMSPL as well. NMSPL’s familiarity with the base building will help in the timely and sequential planning and execution of the Additional JPM Work.

In terms of Clause 5.1.7 of the MSA, NMSPL can provide additional services to the Company on terms and conditions including fees to be agreed between the Company and NMSPL.

Accordingly, at the request of the Company, NMSPL has agreed to carry out the Additional JPM Work in terms of the MSA. For the convenience of the Members, please find below some of the salient terms/ features of the proposed Letter Agreement for Additional JPM Work for ease of reference:

Salient features of the proposed Letter Agreement for Additional JPM Work are as follows:

The above works are primarily in the nature of customized upgrades to the base building specification to suit the licensee. These include providing HT transformers, DG infrastructure including the exhaust to suit JPM requirements, customization in the washrooms, some infrastructure on the façade for JPM signage etc.
