The proposed incremental transactions are on the same terms and conditions which were approved by the shareholders as aforesaid, and are on an arm’s length basis and are in the ordinary course of business. Since the said modification is material to a material related party transaction, prior approval of the shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution mentioned at Item No. 1 is being sought.
Further the Audit Committee and the Board at their meeting held on 8[th] February 2024 and 9[th] February 2024 respectively, granted Omnibus approval for the related party transactions with WSPL for the FY 2024-25 and since the value of such transactions (individually or taken together with previous transactions) for the items as proposed in Item No.2, may exceed Rs. 1,000 crores or 10% the annual consolidated turnover of the Company as per the last audited financial statements of the Company i.e. for FY2022-23, whichever is lower, approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of an ordinary resolution mentioned at Item No. 2 is being sought.

Item No. 6: Approval for issue of equity shares through Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP)
The Company recognizes significant growth opportunities in the area of its operations and adjacencies and continues to evaluate such avenues for organic and inorganic growth. The Company continues to require capital for its growth and expansion. The Company proposes to raise capital for the purposes of funding some of these growth opportunities and the capital expenditure needs of the ongoing or new projects, working capital requirements, general corporate requirements and/or any other purposes, as may be permissible under the applicable laws and approved by the Board. The growth expansion plans will enhance profitability and deleverage the balance sheet, thus creating more value and an improved rating.
In line with the above, the Company proposes to raise funds through the issuance of Equity Shares for an aggregate amount of up to INR 25,000 Mn (Indian Rupees Twenty-Five Thousand Million) to Qualified Institutional Buyers as defined under the SEBI ICDR Regulations (“QIBs”), for cash, in one or more tranches by way of qualified institutions placement (“QIP”), under the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company (herein referred to as “Board” which term shall include any committee (“Committee”) thereof, constituted/to be constituted by the Board, from time to time, to exercise the powers conferred by this resolution), at its meeting held on 9[th] February 2024, subject to the approval of the members of the Company, approved the issuance of Equity Shares at such price and on such terms and conditions as may be deemed appropriate by the Board or a duly authorised Committee of the Board, taking into consideration market conditions and other relevant factors and wherever necessary, in consultation with the book running lead manager and/or other advisor(s) appointed in relation to the Issue, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and subject to approval of the shareholders and other regulatory approvals as necessary. The Equity Shares so allotted will be listed and traded on stock exchange(s) where Equity Shares are currently listed, subject to obtaining necessary approvals.
In terms of Section 62(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, shares may be issued to persons who are not the existing shareholders of a company, if the Company is authorised by a special resolution passed by its members. Therefore, consent of the Members is being sought by passing a special resolution as set out in the Notice, pursuant to applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, the SEBI ICDR Regulations, 2018 (SEBI ICDR Regulations) and any other law for the time being in force and being applicable.
In terms of Rule 14(2) of the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014, a company can make a private placement of its securities under the Companies Act, 2013, only after receipt of prior approval of its Members by way of a Special Resolution. Consent of the Members would therefore be necessary pursuant to the provisions of Sections 42 and 62(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with applicable provisions of the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, for issuance of the Equity Shares.
The pricing of the Equity Shares shall be determined by the Board in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations on pricing of securities prescribed, including under Chapter VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations. The Board (including any Committee so authorised by the Board) may offer a discount of not more than 5% on the floor price calculated for the QIP or such other discount as may be permitted under said SEBI Regulations.
25
The ‘relevant date’ for the purpose of the pricing of the Equity Shares to be issued and allotted in the proposed QIP shall be decided in accordance with the applicable provisions of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, which shall be the date of the meeting in which the Board or a Committee authorised by the Board decides to open the QIP, which shall be subsequent to receipt of members’ approval in terms of provisions of Companies Act and other applicable laws, rules, regulations and guidelines in relation to the proposed issue of the Equity Shares.
The Board of Directors, accordingly, at their meeting held on 9[th] February 2024 has recommended to the shareholders to give their consent to the Board of Directors or a Committee thereof, by way of a special resolution, to raise funds through issuance of Equity Shares to Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) by way of Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The QIBs may or may not be the existing shareholders of the Company.
The allotment of Equity Shares shall be completed within 365 days from the date of resolution passed by the Members.
The Equity Shares offered, issued, and allotted by the Company pursuant to the QIP in terms of the resolution would be subject to the provisions of the memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company and any Equity Shares that may be created, offered, issued and allotted by the Company shall rank, in all respects, pari-passu with the existing Equity Shares of the Company.
The Equity Shares shall not be eligible to be sold for a period of one year from the date of allotment, except on a recognised stock exchange, or except as may be permitted under the SEBI ICDR Regulations from time to time.
In view of the above, it is proposed to seek approval from the Shareholders of the Company to offer, create, issue and allot above Equity Shares, in one or more tranches, to investors inter alia through QIP by way of private placement or otherwise and to authorise the Board to do all such acts, deeds and things on the matter.
The Company has not allotted any securities on a preferential basis in the current year.
The Promoters and Directors of the Company would not contribute to the proposed issue of equity shares.
Directors or key managerial personnel of the Company or their relatives may be deemed to be concerned or interested in the Resolution to the extent of their shareholding in the Company.
The approval of the Members is being sought to enable the Board or a duly authorised Committee thereof, to decide on issuance of Equity Shares, on the terms and in the manner stated in the Special Resolution, as set out in Item No. 6 of this Notice, without the need for any further approval from the Members of the Company, in this regard.
The Special Resolution as set out in Item No. 6 of this Notice, is an enabling resolution and therefore the proposal seeks to confer upon the Board or a duly authorised Committee thereof, the sole and absolute discretion to determine the terms of the said issue of Equity Shares, including the exact price, proportion and timing of such issue, based on an analysis of the specific requirements. The detailed terms and conditions of such issue will be determined by the Board or a duly authorised Committee thereof, considering the prevailing market conditions, practices and in accordance with applicable laws.
The proposed QIP is in the interest of the Company and the Board recommends this resolution as set out at item No. 6 in the Notice for your approval as Special Resolution.
