EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102(1) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

ITEM NO 1:

The Board of Directors of the Company, based on the recommendations of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee at their respective meetings held on February 14, 2026, and subject to the approval of the Members of the Company, has approved the change in designation of Mr. Keshav Baljee as a Whole-Time Director, designated as Executive Director, for a period of five (5) years, with effect from February 14, 2026.

Mr. Keshav Baljee is a graduate from Wharton school, University of Pennsylvania, USA and holds an MBA Finance from the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, and has been pursuing his professional career since 2007. He satisfies all the conditions specified under Section 196 read with Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013, and is not disqualified from being appointed as a Director in terms of Section 164 of the Companies Act, 2013. Upon appointment, he shall not be liable to retire by rotation.

Mr. Keshav Baljee (DIN: 00344855) was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company on November 11, 2019, and has since been providing continuous strategic guidance to the Company. Considering the operational requirements of the Company to operate 120+ Hotels and the need for dedicated executive oversight of the operations of Royal Orchid Hotels Limited, the management has proposed to induct him in an executive capacity for a period of five (5) years.

The proposed CTC is lower compared to remuneration levels drawn by similar senior management roles of the company, such as the Chief Operating Officer who was drawing Rs 11 lacs per month.

Based on the recommendations of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and after due consideration of the aforesaid factors, the Board of Directors approved the proposal, subject to the approval of the Members of the Company.

In terms of Regulation 17 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the fees or compensation payable to executive directors who are promoters or members of the promoter group shall be subject to the approval of the shareholders by way of a special resolution in a general meeting, where there is more than one such director and the aggregate annual remuneration payable to such directors exceeds five percent (5%) of the net profits of the listed entity.

Further, the approval of the shareholders under this provision shall be valid only till the expiry of the term of such director. Accordingly, it is proposed to seek approval of the Members by way of special resolution for the change in designation of Mr. Keshav Baljee as a Whole-Time Director, designated as Executive Director of the Company, for a period of five (5) years, at a monthly remuneration of ₹10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs only).

ITEM NO 2:

The Board of Directors of the Company, based on the recommendations of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee at their respective meetings held on February 14, 2026, and subject to the approval of the Members of the Company, has approved the increase in the monthly remuneration of Mr. Arjun Baljee, President, from ₹5,00,000/- to ₹7,50,000/- per month, such that his total monthly remuneration from the Company and its subsidiary, Maruti Comforts & Inn Private Limited, shall be ₹10,00,000/- per month, with effect from February 14, 2026.

Mr. Arjun Baljee is a hospitality, real estate, and tech start up professional with over 22 years of experience. Mr. Arjun Baljee is a creative thinker who has worked in and advised across multiple geographies and businesses, from start-ups to large corporations, governments to charities.

Mr. Arjun Baljee is the co-promoter of Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd, and was involved with the development of the first Royal Orchid Hotel in 2001. His role of project implementation with the group saw the company grow from 2 to 10 hotels within a span of 6 years, including working on the immensely successful IPO of the company in 2006.

Mr. Arjun Baljee has done B.Sc. In Hospitality Management from Cornell University and an MBA from QUT and IIM Bangalore.

Mr. Arjun Baljee was appointed as President of the Company with effect from March 19, 2024, and has been drawing remuneration of ₹5,00,000/- per month from the Company. He is also serving as an Operational Analyst in Maruti Comforts & Inn Private Limited, a subsidiary of Royal Orchid Hotels Limited, and draws remuneration of ₹2,50,000/- per month from the said subsidiary.

Since his appointment, he has been entrusted with extensive responsibilities, including oversight of major projects such as the Iconiqa Hotel, Mumbai (300-room Mumbai Masa Hotel). His remuneration was last revised on March 19, 2024. Considering his continued performance, hospitality expertise and contribution towards the growth objectives of the Company, the proposed revision in remuneration is considered appropriate.

The proposed CTC is lower compared to remuneration levels drawn by similar senior management roles of the company, including positions such as the Chief Operating Officer who was drawing Rs 11 lacs per month.
