EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR ITEM NOS 1, 2 AND 3 [Pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013]
Regulatory Background
According to the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, related party transactions encompass dealings between the listed entity or its subsidiaries and their related parties. A materialrelated party transaction is defined as any transaction, whether considered individually or in conjunction with prior transactions within a financial year, exceeding INR 1,000 Crore/INR 10,000 million or ten per cent of the annual consolidated turnover as per the last audited financial statements of the listed entity, whichever is lower. The material related party transactions require prior approval from the shareholders.
Details of the Transactions
Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Israel (“Taro Israel”), a 78.48% subsidiary company, was listed on the NYSE. In June 2024, Sun Pharma acquired the remaining 21.52% stake, leading to 100% ownership in Taro Israel. Sun Pharma holds Taro Israel through Alkaloida Chemical Company Zrt., Hungary, a 99.99% subsidiary company. Therefore, even after acquiring 100% ownership, Taro Israel and its subsidiaries are not wholly owned subsidiaries of Sun Pharma.
After the complete acquisition of Taro Israel, various integration initiatives are being undertaken within the group, which will result in multiple material related party transactions. These transactions are considered at Item Nos. 1, 2, and 3 of the Notice. Annexure A provides all the relevant information, including the information required to be disclosed as per the SEBI master circular dated 11 November 2024 .
The Audit Committee has reviewed the transactions in detail, and the Independent Directors on the Committee have approved them. The transactions are in the best interest of the Company. Therefore, based on the Audit Committee’s recommendations, the Board recommends the resolutions set out in Item Nos. 1, 2, and 3 for approval of the shareholders by way of Ordinary Resolutions.
None of the Company’s Directors or Key Managerial Personnel and their relatives, except Mr. Sudhir Valia, who is a Director of Taro Canada, Taro Pharma USA, and SPI Inc., and Mr. Gautam Doshi, an Independent Director who is also a Director of Taro Pharma USA and SPI Inc., are in any way concerned or interested in the resolutions.
