1. Section 196 read with Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013, requires special

resolution to be passed for the appointment or continuing the employment of a person as Managing Director, if he has attained the age of 70 years and explanatory statement shall indicate justification for appointing such person. Mr Ramanathan is aged 71 years. Accordingly, Special Resolution is proposed for the current reappointment.

1. Mr Ramanathan is a Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary and Cost Accountant. He is a University rank holder in B.Com and All India rank holder in Chartered Accountancy. He brings to bear profound knowledge and rich experience in the fields of Finance, Taxation, Legal and General Management. He

4

has deep insight into the dynamics of sugar industry. He is being continually reinducted into the Executive Committee of Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), South Indian Sugar Mills Association, Tamil Nadu (SISMA-TN) and on the Board of Indian Sugar Exim Corporation Ltd besides being part of several subcommittees in these bodies. He is well connected with industry peers and widely respected for his domain knowledge. He is also associated with a few business chambers and a speaker on professional platforms. He has ably led the company in combating challenges and achieving sustained excellence in operating and financial performance.

1. Mr Ramanathan is physically fit, quite active and mentally alert. In the opinion of the Board, he is suitable for being continued as Managing Director of the company though he is aged 71 years. The Board accordingly recommends his reappointment by special resolution for the consideration of shareholders. The terms of appointment and remuneration of Mr Ramanathan have been determined by the Board on the recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee having regard to the extant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and Schedule V thereof.

2. Sugar industry is intrinsically cyclical with huge swings in production between years and sugar prices are subject to volatility depending upon multitude of global and domestic factors. Sugarcane availability is impacted by vagaries of nature. Since sugarcane and sugar are politically sensitive, they are subject to regulatory controls of the Government.

3. No doubt, our company is relatively better placed with relentless focus on cane development, operational excellence, cost curtailment and prudent financial management. We have indeed achieved commendable financial results in the past five years and more as well as during FY 2025-26 (up to Q3). Nonetheless, the overwhelming macro challenges may continue to exert pressure on future profitability. Accordingly, it is but desirable to fix minimum remuneration for the Managing Director in the case of absence or inadequacy of profits in a year.

4. The company has not defaulted in debt servicing. The parameters for consideration of remuneration to Managing Director in the absence of adequate profits in any year as specified under Section 200 of the Companies Act read with Rule 6 of Companies (Appointment and Remuneration of Managerial Personnel) Rules, 2014 have been duly evaluated by the Nomination and Remuneration

5

Committee and the Board in determining the minimum remuneration. The Statement containing prescribed information as per Schedule V of Companies Act, 2013 is furnished vide Appendix-1 .

1. The Managing Director shall adhere to the company’s code of conduct. There is no contract in writing with the Managing Director and the above may be treated as the written memorandum setting out the terms of appointment of Managing Director vide Section 190(1)(b).

2. Particulars required under Reg. 36(3) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 and Secretarial Standard-2 on General Meetings are given in Appendix-2 that forms part of this Notice.

4. Mr Ramanathan, including (i) consent in writing to act as director in Form DIR 2, pursuant to Rule 8 of the Companies (Appointment & Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014 (“the Appointment Rules”), (ii) intimation in Form DIR-8 in terms of the Appointment Rules to the effect that he is not disqualified under Section164 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Company has also received a notice under Section 160 of the Companies Act, 2013 from a member, intending to propose Mr Ramanathan to the office of Director. Mr Ramanathan is not debarred from holding the office of director by virtue of any SEBI order or any other such authority.

5. The above mentioned documents will be available for inspection by members at the registered office of the company on any working day during business hours during the remote e-voting period from Thursday, the 26[th] February 2026 (10.00 AM) to Friday, the 27[th] March 2026 (5.00 PM) . Shareholder can send an email for this purpose to admin@ponnisugars.com.

6. Other than Mr Ramanathan, no other Director(s) and Key Managerial Personnel(s) or their relatives are concerned or interested financially or otherwise in this item of business.

III. Other information

1. Reasons of loss or inadequate profits

The Company has achieved profits in most of the years. However, sugar industry is intrinsically cyclical with huge swings in production between years. Sugar prices precariously fall both in the global and local markets during glut in supply. Since sugar and sugarcane are essential commodities and politically sensitive, they are subject to State intervention like export ban/ duty or arbitrary price fixation. Sugarcane availability for the company is impacted by monsoon flow in river Cauvery and water table in the region. Hence cane availability would be a key challenge to both top-line and bottom-line.

2. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement

The Company has implemented a Cogen Project to de-risk its business model and diversify the revenue stream. It is in continuous pursuit of cost

9

reduction measures. Through multitude of efforts and relentless focus, it has in the recent years achieved increased cane volume and improved sugar recovery.

3. Expected increase in productivity and profit in measurable terms.

The Company has remained profitable in most of the years since inception. It has posted commendable results upto Q3 of the current financial year 2025-26. It maintains commendable control over its operations that are however subject to climatic challenges, State intervention and other external adversities.

IV. Disclosures

Remuneration details would be disclosed in the Corporate Governance Report attached to Board’s Report of financial statements for the financial year 2025-26 as required.
