STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

Item No. 1: Change of terms of External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) availed from Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte. Ltd.

Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read with the Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014 states that no company shall enter into transactions with a Related Party except with the consent of the Board and members of the Company, where such transactions are either not (a) in Ordinary Course of Business or (b) on arm’s length basis. Further, pursuant to Regulation 23 of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“SEBI Listing Regulations”), all related party transactions shall require prior approval of the Audit Committee and all material transactions with related parties require prior approval of the members of the Company through ordinary resolution.

The shareholders of the Company at its Extra-ordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) held on 13[th] July 2020, had accorded approval for raising of funds by way of availing External Commercial Borrowings (“ECB”) of USD 300 Mn from Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“WSH”). Subsequently, the Company had availed ECB of USD 300 Mn from WSH in July 2020 and August 2020. As per the ECB agreement, the Company has been servicing the ECB loan @ 6 months LIBOR + 3%.

There is a transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) which is now the benchmark interest rate for dollar denominated derivatives and loans. Now, all the interest rates will have to be arrived at on the basis of SOFR. Pursuant to the said transition, the lending reference will be changed from LIBOR 6 months to SOFR 6 months.

USD LIBOR was higher than SOFR as the latter was a near risk free reference while the former was not. Hence an adjustment in the lending margin was needed when transitioning a loan based on USD LIBOR to one based on SOFR to ensure economic equivalence. The established market approach supported by regulators was to apply a credit adjustment spread (“CAS”). On 5 March 2021, the applicable CAS (difference between LIBOR and SOFR) was fixed and announced by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. This was based on the historical median with a 5 year look back period. The applicable CAS for a USD 6 month LIBOR loan will be 0.42826%. The above is a transparent approach that is accepted by regulators and banks.

Based on the above, the revised lending margin will be 3% + 0.42826% or 3.42826% + 6 month SOFR. Hence, it is proposed to round off the margin to 3.40% + 6 month SOFR. Below table shows a comparison of rates before and after transition using 30[th] December 2022 LIBOR and SOFR rates. There is no material difference in rates.

Comparison of rates before and after transition using 30[th] December 2022 LIBOR and SOFR rates are as under:

Current Current Revised Revised
USD 6 month LIBOR 5.13886% USD 6 month SOFR 4.78131%
Old margin 3% New Margin 3.4%
8.13886% 8.18131%

The Board recommends the Ordinary Resolution set out at Item No. 1 of this Notice for approval of the shareholders.

Item No. 2: Re-appointment of Mr. Madhu Rao (DIN: 02683483) as an Independent Director of the Company for a second term of 5 (Five) years

As per Section 149(10) of the Act, an Independent Director shall hold office for a term of up to five years on the Board of a Company, but shall be eligible for re-appointment on passing a special resolution by the Members of

11

the Company for another consecutive term of up to five years on the Board of a Company, and the term of office of an Independent Director shall not be liable to retire by rotation. The Independent Director can be appointed for 2 consecutive terms only.

Mr. Madhu Rao (DIN: 02683483) was appointed as Non-Executive and Independent Director with effect from 27[th] June 2018, to hold office for a term of five years ending on 26[th] June 2023.

In terms of Section 149 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, Mr. Rao, being eligible, has offered himself for re-appointment and is proposed to be re-appointed as an Independent Director, on the recommendation of the Nomination & Remuneration/ Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors, in their meetings held on 12[th] May 2023 and on the basis of the outcome of his performance evaluation up to the Financial Year 2022-23 (where he was highly ranked by the members of the Board), for a second consecutive term of 5 (five) years commencing 27[th] June 2023 up to 26[th] June 2028.

Pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, no listed entity shall appoint a person or continue the directorship of any person as a non-executive director who has attained the age of 75 years unless a special resolution is passed to that effect.

The Board is of view that Mr. Rao has immensely contributed to the proceedings of the Board and its Committees, and further believes that his continued association would be of immense benefit to the Company.
