Corrigendum to the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") of the Company to be held on Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through Video Conferencing ("VC") / Other Audio-Visual Means ("OAVM")

2. OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE
2.1 Aggregate Utilization
The Company intends to utilize the total proceeds proposed to be raised through the issuance of the Warrants, including the amounts payable upon conversion of the Warrants into equity shares, aggregating up to Rs 330.88 crore (Rupees Three Hundred and Thirty crore and Eighty-eight Lakh) towards the following objects (collectively, the "Objects"):
(i) Funding acquisitions of businesses in India and internationally across targeted growth sectors either directly or through subsidiary entities for organic and inorganic growth including repayment of acquisition debt up to 75% of the aggregate proceeds of the issue; and
(ii) Balance 25% of proceeds for General Corporate Purposes (including transaction costs)

The split of Issue Proceeds across the two Objects is proposed as follows:
| Object / Purpose | Amount (Rs. Crores) | % of Issue Proceeds |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisitions in India and internationally (Aerospace, Automotive, Defense, high growth future oriented sector) either directly or through subsidiary for organic and inorganic growth including repayment of acquisition debt upto 75% of the aggregate proceeds of the issue | 248.16 | 75% |
| General Corporate Purposes (including transaction costs) upto 25% | 82.72 | 25% |
| Total | 330.88 | 100% |
2.2 (a) Strategic Rationale for the Acquisition Programme
The Company is exploring opportunities to diversify and expand its business footprint. As part of its long-term strategic vision, the Company intends to build significant capabilities and market presence across the high-growth, future-oriented sectors including:
- Aerospace and Space Technologies: The global aerospace sector is experiencing transformative growth driven by increased commercial aviation activity, the emergence of new-space economy, defence modernization programmes, and indigenous manufacturing imperatives. India's own aerospace ambitions — particularly under initiatives such as "Make in India" and the National Aerospace Policy — present a significant opportunity for the Company to establish itself as a component, systems, or services player across the aerospace and space value chain.
- Automotive and Auto-Components: The Indian automotive industry is undergoing a structural shift towards electric vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and lightweight materials. The Company proposes to evaluate and pursue strategic acquisitions in auto-component manufacturing, electric vehicle supply chain, or related technology businesses — both domestically and internationally — that are synergistic with its existing engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
- Defence and Defence Manufacturing: India has set an ambitious target for domestic defence procurement and exports under the Defence Acquisition Policy and the "Aatmanirbhar Bharat" initiative. The Company intends to leverage its manufacturing expertise and explore acquisitions or joint ventures in the defence manufacturing space, including precision components, specialized materials, and system integration.
(b) Form and Modality of Acquisitions
The form of acquisition(s) may include:
(i) Direct acquisition of equity stake in target companies;

(ii) Joint ventures or strategic partnerships with established players;
(iii) Asset purchases, including intellectual property, technology licences, or manufacturing plants; or
(iv) A combination of the above.
The Board of Directors shall evaluate and approve each acquisition opportunity on its own merits, considering commercial, financial, strategic, and regulatory considerations. The specific target(s), transaction structure, and deployment timelines will be communicated to the stock exchanges and shareholders in accordance with applicable SEBI disclosure norms at the appropriate time.
3. RATIONALE FOR PREFERENTIAL ISSUE OF WARRANTS TO PROMOTERS
3.1 Why Warrants (as opposed to direct equity issuance)
The Company has elected to issue Warrants rather than fully paid-up equity shares for the following reasons:
a. Phased Capital Deployment: The Objects described above involve multi-tranche capital deployments over a period of time, including acquisition pipelines that may be executed over 12–18 months. The warrant structure ensures that capital is called upon in alignment with actual deployment needs, thereby avoiding dilution ahead of productive use of funds.
b. Commitment and Alignment: The upfront payment of 25% of the issue price upon allotment of Warrants ensures a firm financial commitment from the Allottee. This demonstrates confidence in the Company's growth plan and aligns the interests of the Allottee with those of all shareholders.
c. Regulatory Efficiency: Under Chapter V of the ICDR, the issuance of Warrants on a preferential basis to the Promoters is a well-established mechanism for structured capital raising that is compliant with all applicable SEBI regulations while preserving flexibility for deployment timing.
d. Minimizing Immediate EPS Dilution: By structuring the fund-raise as Warrants convertible into equity over a defined period, the Company ensures that dilution to existing shareholders occurs progressively, as the Company's assets and earnings base also grows commensurately.
3.2 Why Promoters
The Company has identified the Promoters as the Allottee for the Preferential Issue for the following reasons:
a. Speed and Certainty of Execution: Preferential allotment to known Allottee provides speed and transaction certainty, which is particularly important given the time-sensitive nature of acquisition opportunities. Public markets routes such as QIPs or rights issues involve longer timelines and market risk.
b. Promoter Commitment to Growth: Promoter participation in the fund-raise demonstrates a strong personal commitment and conviction in the Company's strategic direction. This is a significant positive signal to the market and to minority shareholders.

c. Governance and Accountability: Promoter co-investment creates a direct accountability mechanism — the Promoters, as co-investors in the growth strategy, have a vested interest in ensuring that the Issue Proceeds are deployed efficiently and that the acquisition programme delivers shareholder value.
d. Cost-Effectiveness: Preferential issuance avoids underwriting fees, placement commissions, and other transaction costs associated with public market routes, thereby maximizing the proportion of Issue Proceeds that is productively deployed.
4. PROPOSED SCHEDULE AND TIMELINE FOR UTILIZATION OF ISSUE PROCEEDS
The Company proposes the following indicative schedule for utilization of the Issue Proceeds:
| Object | Estimated Timeline | Amount (Rs. Crores) |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisitions in India and internationally (Aerospace, Automotive, Defense, high growth future oriented sector) either directly or through subsidiary for organic and inorganic growth including repayment of acquisition debt upto 75% of the aggregate proceeds of the issue | Within a period of three years from the date of receipt of funds | 248.16 |
| General Corporate Purposes (including transaction costs) | As above | 82.72 |
Given that the Preferential Issue includes issuance of Warrants, the Issue Proceeds in respect of the Warrants shall be received by the Company within 18 (eighteen) months from the date of allotment of the Warrants, in accordance with Chapter V of the ICDR. The entire Issue Proceeds with respect to the Warrants will be utilised for the aforementioned Objects in phases, as per the Company's business requirements and actual availability of Issue Proceeds.
The amount specified for the aforementioned Objects may deviate by +/- 10% depending upon future circumstances, given that the Objects are based on management estimates and commercial and technical factors. The Board (including any committee thereof) reserves the right to re-schedule and revise planned expenditure, subject to compliance with applicable laws and stock exchange requirements.
5. INTERIM USE OF ISSUE PROCEEDS
The Company proposes to utilize the issue proceeds within a period of three years from the date of receipt of funds.
Pending complete utilization of the Issue Proceeds for the Objects described above, the Company intends to invest the Issue Proceeds in fixed deposit and debt mutual fund as per the Investment policy of the Company. The Company will not use the Issue Proceeds for any purpose inconsistent with the aforesaid Objects.
