Item No. 1:
At the Annual General Meeting held on August 12, 2015, the members of the Company had appointed Mrs. Seema Modi (DIN: 05327073) as an Independent Director of the Company, pursuant to the provisions of Section 149 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") for a period of five (5) consecutive years w.e.f April 01, 2015 to March 31, 2020 ("first term"), not liable to retire by rotation.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, based on the report of performance evaluation, has recommended re-appointment of Mrs. Seema Modi as an Independent Director, for a second term of 5 (five) consecutive years i.e. upto March 31, 2025, on the Board of the Company.
The Board, based on the performance evaluation of Mrs Seema Modi and as per the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, considers that, given her background, experience and contributions made by her during her tenure, the continued association of Mrs. Seema Modi would be beneficial to the Company and it is desirable to continue to avail her services as an Independent Director. Accordingly, it is proposed to re-appoint Mrs. Seema Modi as an Independent Director of the Company, not liable to retire by rotation, for a second term of 5 (five) consecutive years on the Board of the Company.
Mrs. Seema Modi is not disqualified from being appointed as a Director in terms of Section 164 of the Act and has given her consent to act as a Director.
The Company has also received declaration from Mrs. Modi that she meets the criteria of independence as prescribed both under Section 149(6) of the Act and under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ("Listing Regulations").
A notice in writing pursuant to the provisions of Section 160 (1) of the Act has also been received from a member proposing re-appointment of Mrs. Seema Modi as an Independent Director of the Company.
In the opinion of the Board, Mrs. Seema Modi fulfils the conditions for appointment as an Independent Director as specified in the Act and the Listing Regulations and is independent of the management.

She shall be entitled to be paid remuneration by way of fee for attending meetings of the Board or Committees thereof or for any other purpose as may be decided by the Board and reimbursement of expenses for participating in the Board and other meetings.

Save and except the above, none of the other Directors / Key Managerial Personnel of the Company / their relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution.
On the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board commends the Special Resolution set out at Item No. 1 of this Postal Ballot Notice for approval of the members of the Company.
Item No. 2:
Your Directors have been constantly on the lookout for avenues of diversification of the business activities to combine with and supplement the existing business. They feel that such diversification will partly help in de-risking the business in terms of down-turn of the current activity of operating Vessels, diving and related services.
One of the areas identified by your Directors for such diversification is undertaking the infrastructure projects at a global scale. Your Directors are exploring the possibilities of bidding for such projects, initially in combination with some local entities in different parts of the world, and later take up such projects as a stand-alone entity after gaining adequate experience and insights into the business.
In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, any activity to be taken up by a Company should be permitted by the Objects Clause of its Memorandum of Association. The proposed activity is not covered by the existing Memorandum of Association of the Company.
It is therefore proposed to alter the Main Objects Clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Company, by inserting an Object to take up construction projects and other related activities.
The proposed resolution seeks to alter the Memorandum of Association by complying with Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, which permits alteration of the Main Objects Clause of the Memorandum of Association by way of a Special Resolution proposed to be passed by the members of the Company.
Your Directors recommend the resolution set out at Item no. 2 to be passed as a Special Resolution by the members.
None of the Directors / Key Managerial Personnel of the Company / their relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution set out at Item No. 2 of this Postal Ballot Notice, save and except to the extent of their respective shareholdings.
Item No. 3:
Members may recall that they had approved the proposal for the charter hire of the company's vessels to HAL Offshore Limited (HAL).
HAL is a Related Party of the Company as defined by Section 2(76)(viii) of the Companies Act, 2013. In terms of Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013, the lease of the vessels, is a transaction requiring prior approval of the shareholders, if the value of the transactions is equal to or exceeding the threshold limits prescribed under the said section read with the Rules made thereunder. The approval was taken in that context.
The Company had leased out one of its vessels to HAL for deployment in the contract that HAL had bagged from its Principal as part of the several obligations undertaken by it in its contract(s) with the Principal.
The Company anticipates that in the ensuing years there will be several similar business opportunities for lease or sub-lease of the vessel(s) and services to HAL, the rationale being that the latter has the capacity and expertise to provide comprehensive services to clients in addition to deploying the vessels and services leased from the Company. Besides above, there could be other activities permissible pursuant to the object clause of memorandum of association of the Company that may emerge subsequently.
The proposed resolution seeks your prior approval for continuation of such services to HAL for a period of five (5) consecutive years from the date of this resolution passed by the members of the Company, subject to authorisation to the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company to scrutinise individual transactions/contracts covered by this Resolution keeping in view the viability of the contracts, practical commercial considerations and best interests of the Company.
The proposed transactions shall be considered as material related party transaction as the aggregate value as envisaged shall exceed the threshold limit pursuant to Regulation 23 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
The information required pursuant to Rule 15 of the Companies (Meetings of the Board and its Powers) Rules 2014 is furnished hereunder:
| (a) | Name of the related party | HAL Offshore Limited (HAL). | ||

| iii.Material terms of the transaction | Long term and short-term vessel deployment and outsourcing of vessel for divingand other allied services. | |||
| (e) | Other relevant information if any | - |
Except HAL Offshore Limited, Promoter of the Company, Messers Sanjeev Agrawal, being one of the shareholders of HAL and Chairman of the Company, Naveen Mohta, Whole time Director and Subrat Das, Director may be treated as interested in the Resolution. None of the other Directors, Key Managerial Personnel of the Company / their relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the proposed resolution set out at Item No 3 of this Postal Ballot Notice.
In pursuance of Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Regulation 23 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, no related party shall vote to approve the resolution set out at Item No. 3, whether such entity is a related party to this resolution or otherwise.
