Agenda Item No.2: To convert Optionally Convertible Debentures issued to the Existing Lenders in to equity shares of the Company

In June 2020, the Company and its certain specified subsidiaries, namely, Suzlon Global Services Limited (“SGSL”), Suzlon Power Infrastructure Limited (“SPIL”), Suzlon Gujarat Wind Park Limited (“SGWPL”) and Suzlon Generators Limited (“SGL”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Suzlon The Group” or the “STG”) entered into a Framework Restructuring Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “FRA”) with a Consortium of Lenders led by the State Bank of India (hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Lenders”) for restructuring the debt of the STG in terms of the Resolution Plan formulated under the Reserve Bank of India (Prudential Framework for Resolution of Stressed Assets) Directions, 2019 issued by the Reserve Bank of India vide its circular dated 7[th] June 2019 (the “RBI Circular”). The Resolution Plan is effective from 30[th] June 2020.

The FRA envisaged that the STG might provide an exit to the Existing Lenders with respect to the restructured facilities in the manner provided in the Resolution Plan and / or as may be acceptable to the Existing Lenders. Accordingly, with a view to provide an exit to the Existing Lenders, the Company had submitted a proposal to the Lead Bank (State Bank of India) for the refinancing of the outstanding restructured facilities of the Existing Lenders which inter alia includes:

  • i) full repayment of Part A facilities by payment of outstanding RTL II and outstanding NFB Facilities in cash and by way of transfer / replacement of limits of outstanding NFB Facilities. This is to be funded by facilities availed from a consortium of lenders led by REC Limited (“New Lenders”), monetisation of assets as approved by the Existing Lenders and business operations;

  • ii) Conversion of Optionally Convertible Debentures (“OCDs”) issued to Existing Lenders as Part B facilities into equity shares of SEL;

  • iii) Conversion of Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (“CCPS”) issued by SGSL to the Existing Lenders as Part C Facilities into equity shares of SGSL;

  • iv) Cancellation / expiration without conversion of 49,85,88,439 share warrants issued by the Company to the Existing Lenders;

  • v) Extinguishment of all the contractual lock-in requirement (if any) under the FRA on 99,71,76,872 equity shares allotted to the Existing Lenders on 27[th] June 2020;

(hereinafter referred to as the “Refinancing Proposal” and Part A, Part B and Part C facilities are hereinafter referred to as the “Restructured Facilities”).

The Lead Bank (State Bank of India) has approved the Refinancing Proposal vide its sanction letter dated 16[th] February 2022 and other Existing Lenders are in process of obtaining approval from their respective authorities. To that extent the Refinancing Proposal and the resolutions being passed by the shareholders under this agenda item, are subject to the requisite approval of the Existing Lenders, satisfactory completion of conditions precedent, as applicable, and execution of definitive documents. The Company has also tied up with the New Lenders to provide required financial assistance to the STG for repayment of Part A facilities including the NFB facilities to the Existing Lenders.

In terms of the Refinancing Proposal, the entire outstanding value of 4,10,000 OCDs having a face value of Rs.1,00,000/- each, being Rs.4099.18 Crores, is required to be converted into 57,14,28,572 fully paid equity shares of the Company having a face value of Rs.2/- each in aggregate. Since the OCDs are proposed to be converted in to the equity shares of the Company as part of the Refinancing Proposal, approval of the shareholders is sought by way of special resolution.

The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 27[th] February 2022 approved this conversion of OCDs into equity shares subject however to the approval of the lenders and the shareholders. As a matter of prudent practice, following additional details in terms of the provisions of the Act and the ICDR Regulations is being provided:

The object of this preferential issue is to implement the Refinancing Proposal which inter alia provides for issuance of the Warrants to the New Lender, which shall be converted into equity shares of the Company at the option of the warrant holder during the period of 18 (eighteen) months from the date of allotment in the event that the Company and other entities of the Suzlon The Group (“STG”) as borrowers default in servicing the debt (principal and interest) of the New Lender (“Conversion Event”), provided however that the warrant holder has, along with a conversion request in writing, paid the balance seventy-five per cent. of the consideration and fulfilled other regulatory and compliance requirements as may necessary and as may be desired by the Company.

If the Conversion Event does not occur and / or if the warrant holder fails to pay the balance seventy-five per cent. of the consideration and / or fails to exercise the conversion rights during the period of 18 (Eighteen) months from the date of the allotment as specified in the ICDR Regulations, the Warrants shall expire on the last day of 18 (Eighteen) months from the date of allotment as specified in the ICDR Regulations, without any further action required from the Company or the warrant holder and the amount subscribed shall stand forfeited.

III. Other Information:

  • (1) Reasons for loss / inadequate profits, if any: From financial year 2017-18, on account of transition of Indian wind industry from feed in tariff (FIT) regime to competitive bidding, there were lower volumes which impacted margins substantially. Further in the financial year 2018-19, the Company along with its certain identified subsidiaries made default in repayment of principal and interest payable to its lenders, which triggered cross default in a facility availed by one of the overseas subsidiary resulting into recognition of liability of ~Rs.3,937 Crore. This also resulted into stagnation in the operations due to shortage of working capital. Due to higher debt there was increase in finance cost which also led to losses in the Company. However, the operating and financial situation has started improving from the financial year 2020-21 onwards.

  • (2) Steps taken / proposed to be taken for improvement: The Company has taken following operational steps during the last 2 (two) years in order to combat the economic and policy challenges:

  • a) Building up of quality order book;

  • b) consistent and continuous focus on technological improvements for new product development and increasing the efficiency and PLF of the products;

  • c) COGS reduction through value engineering;

  • d) concerted efforts on optimising and reduction in fixed costs and optimisation of net working capital;

  • e) reduction in debt and finance cost;

  • f) the debt amounting to Rs.11,367 Crores has been restructured successfully during June 2020. The operations are picking up gradually since then.

  • (3) Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms:

The Indian wind energy industry is at an inflexion point having gone through an elongated transition phase post the shift to the bidding regime. The tariffs have started firming up since past couple of auctions and SECI has also removed the tariff caps in the bids. On the other hand, the Government focus on “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and ambitious Renewable Energy targets are providing much needed impetus to the Indian OEMs. At an industry level there have been several positive developments with a slew of policy announcements. Power ministry announced the extension of waiver of Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) charges and losses on supply of power generated from wind and solar sources until 30[th] June 2023. No ISTS charges would be levied for 25 years and the same is also applicable to Captive power projects, which will open up a new demand segment. The recent development where Group of Ministers (GoM) approved the new Tariff policy is also a welcome move and will provide a boost to the sector. With more than 20 years track record in seamless end-to-end project execution, superior products suited to Indian wind regime and best in class service capabilities, Suzlon is best suited to capitalise on the available opportunities. With completion of the Debt Restructuring with the lender consortium, now the Company has enough headroom for single point focus on ramping up the operations, execution of order book and achieving the business targets.

A copy of the draft agreement proposed to be entered into between the Company and Mr. Tulsi R.Tanti, the Managing Director, shall be made available for inspection at the Registered Office and Corporate Office of the Company between 2.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m. on all working days (except Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays) up to the date of the ensuing Extra Ordinary General Meeting. Such documents shall also be made available on the website of the Company, www.suzlon.com, to facilitate online inspection till the conclusion of the Meeting.
