STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

Item No. 1: To sell, lease or otherwise dispose of surplus land / land parcel(s)

The Company is exploring various strategies for deleveraging its business by reducing its debt and liabilities and unlocking value in various assets. In pursuit of this exercise the company proposes to monetize its surplus non-core land parcels at various locations of the Company at an opportune time which would be in the best interest of the company and its stakeholders. The funds generated from this exercise would be utilised for reducing debt meeting capital expenditure, working capital expenses and for general corporate purposes.

In this connection, the Board of Directors at its meeting held on April 10 - 11, 2025 has approved in-principle to monetize the surplus non-core immoveable properties of the Company situated at the below location(s) :

  • 154, Velachery Main Road, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

  • Plot No.26 in Phase I, Peenya Industrial Area, Bangalore, Karnataka

  • Ward No. G, Block No.21, Athipattu Village, Ambattur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu; and

  • S.No.100 & 101, Santhegoundanpalayam Village, Pollachi Taluk.

The Board is of the opinion that the proposed monetisation of non-core assets will be in the overall best interest of the Company and its stakeholders. The disposal of the identified properties does not affect the ongoing or future business operations.

Considering that the sale proceeds are estimated to exceed 20% of the Networth of the Company, the Board of Directors has recommended the proposal for approval of the shareholders by way of special resolution with requisite majority under Section 180(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Regulation 37A of SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended from time to time.

None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) of the Company and their relatives are concerned or interested, financial or otherwise in this resolution, except to the extent of their shareholding, if any, in the Company.

The Board of Directors recommends the special resolution as set out at item no. 1 of this notice for your approval.
