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

ITEM NO. 1

ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE EQUITY WARRANTS TO PROMOTERS/ PROMOTERS GROUP ON PREFERENTIAL BASIS

In order to meet the funding requirements of the Company, it is proposed that Convertible Warrants of the Company be issued to identified Promoter(s) / Promoter’s Group on preferential basis, at a price of ₹142/- (Rupees one hundred and forty two only) per equity share including a premium of ₹137/- (Rupees one hundred and thirty seven only) per equity share, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as prescribed under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements), 2018 (ICDR Regulations) and in compliance with Section 42 and Section 62 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014 and the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014. The Board, at their meeting held on December 9, 2022, has accorded its approval to the said preferential issue of Warrants. The issue price of the warrants/equity shares has been determined in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

Section 62 of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that when a Company proposes to increase its issued capital by allotment of further shares, etc., such further shares are to be offered to the existing shareholders of the Company in the manner laid down in the said section unless the shareholders in a General Meeting decide otherwise by passing a Special Resolution. The Special Resolution proposed at Item No.1 will, if passed, enable the Board on behalf of the Company to allot convertible warrants on a preferential basis to the Promoters, Promoter’s Group as permitted under Section 62(1)(c) of the Act and the Rules made there under (read with Section 42 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules made there under).

The terms of issue of Warrants as approved by the Board of Directors are as follows:

a) Number of warrants: Not exceeding 65,00,000 warrants.

b) Terms of conversion:

  • i. The Warrants may be exercised by the Warrant holder, in one or more tranches, at any time on or before the expiry of 18 months from the date of allotment of the Warrants by issuing a written notice to the Company specifying the number of Warrants proposed to be exercised along with the aggregate amount payable thereon. The Company shall accordingly, without any further approval from the Members, allot the corresponding number of Equity Shares in dematerialized form.

  • ii. In the event the Warrant holder does not exercise the Warrants within 18 months from the date of allotment, the Warrants shall lapse and the amount paid to the Company at the time of subscription of the Warrants shall stand forfeited.

  • iii. The Equity Shares arising from the exercise of the Warrants will be listed on the Stock Exchanges subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory permissions and approvals as the case may be.

  • iv. Each Warrant will be convertible into 1 (one) Equity Share of par value of ₹5/- each at an issue price of ₹142/- per equity share (including premium of ₹137/- per equity share).

c) Payment Terms:

  • i. 25% of the issue price of the Warrants will be paid on the date of allotment of the Warrants.

  • ii. The balance 75% of the issue price of the Warrants is payable at the time of allotment of the Equity Shares pursuant to the exercise of the conversion right by the warrant holder, as and when they deem fit. Non-payment of balance sum i.e. 75% of the issue price by the warrant holder would entail in forfeiture of the amount paid. The amount paid against Warrants shall be adjusted / set-off against the issue price for the resultant Equity Shares.

  • d) Issue Price:

The price at which each Warrant will be issued will be ₹142/-, such price being not less than the minimum price determined as per the provisions of Chapter V of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

  • The price determined above and the number of Equity Shares to be allotted on exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to appropriate adjustments as permitted under the rules, regulations and laws, as applicable from time to time.

Apart from the above said right of adjustment, the Warrants do not give any rights/entitlements to the Warrant holder as a shareholder of the Company.

10

  • e) Other terms:

  • i. The Warrants and the Shares converted shall be subject to lock-in in accordance with the provisions of SEBI ICDR Regulations.

  • ii. The Warrants shall not confer upon the holders thereof any right to receive any notice of the meeting of the Shareholders of the Company or Annual Report of the Company and/or to attend/vote at any of the General Meetings of the Shareholders of the Company held, if any.

  • iii. Save and except the right of subscription to the Company’s Equity Shares as per the terms of the issue of Warrants, the Warrant holder shall have no other rights or privileges such as entitlement to voting rights, dividend, bonus issue or rights issue or similar benefits declared by the Company.

  • iv. The Equity Shares to be allotted on exercise of the Warrants shall be fully paid up and rank pari-passu with the existing Equity Shares bearing ISIN INE480C01020 of the Company in all respects (including with respect to dividend and voting powers) from the date of allotment thereof, and be subject to the requirements of all applicable laws and shall be subject to the provisions of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the Company.
