Explanatory Statement pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) setting out material facts: Item No. 1:

The Company had signed a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire 35,31,161 equity shares of . 10/ each, of Karix Mobile (formerly known as mGage India) from its shareholder Banyan Investments Limited (Mauritius) owned by GSO Capital Partners (a Blackstone Company) (“BIL”) at an enterprise value of . 340 Crore. Purchase consideration to BIL will be settled through payment of . 112 Crores in cash and allotment of . 125 Crores worth of Tanla stock at a price of . 56.79 per Equity Share, subject to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 as amended from time to time (the “SEBI (ICDR) Regulations”) and the shareholders’ approval.

3. Basis on which the price has been arrived at:

The equity shares of Company are listed and frequently traded on Stock Exchanges, viz., BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (“NSE”). In accordance with SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, for the purpose of computation of the allotment price per equity share, the relevant price on National Stock Exchange of India Limited has been considered, as NSE had higher trading volume during the 26 weeks preceding the Relevant Date.

In terms of the applicable provisions of SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, the price at which equity shares shall be allotted shall not be less than higher of the following:

The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on August 24, 2018, approved to the offer, issue and allot 2,19,99,824 (Two Crore Nineteen Lakh Ninety-Nine Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty- Four) equity shares of face value of  1/- (Rupee One only) each of the Company at a premium of . 55.79 (Rupees FiftyFive point Seven Nine only) each equity shares by way of preferential issue of equity shares in accordance with Chapter V of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, or a combination thereof, up to an aggregate amount of . 124,93,70,005 (Rupees One Hundred Twenty-Four Crores Ninety-Three Lakhs Seventy Thousand and Five only) to BIL, subject to approval of shareholders.

(a) Average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price of the equity shares of the Company quoted on the Stock Exchange, during the Twenty-Six (26) weeks preceding the Relevant Date; or

(b) Average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price of the equity shares of the Company quoted on the Stock Exchange, during the Two (2) weeks preceding the Relevant Date.

Accordingly, the price per equity share, to be issued, is fixed at . 56.79 (Rupees Fifty-Six point Seven Nine Only) which shall be higher than the price as computed under Regulation 164 of SEBI (ICDR) Regulations.

Accordingly, Shareholders’ approval for issue and allotment of Equity Shares on a preferential basis to Banyan Investments Limited, Mauritius (“GSO”) was obtained in the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on September 17, 2018. The In-principle approvals were received from NSE & BSE on September 21, 2018, & September 24, 2018, respectively. But the acquisition of shares of Karix and issuing shares to GSO could not be completed pending regulatory approval. On the basis of an intimation received from the concerned regulator, it is understood that the proposed transaction may be completed by the parties, hence resolution no.1 is being proposed

Since the equity shares of the Company have been listed on the recognized Stock Exchanges for a period of more than 26 weeks prior to the Relevant Date, it is not required to re-compute the price per equity share to be issued and therefore, the Company is not required to submit the undertaking specified under the Regulations 163 (1) (g) and 163 (1) (h) of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations.

4. Relevant Date:

The disclosures under Resolution No. 1 of this Notice, as required in accordance with the Act, the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations and other applicable Regulations in relation thereto are as under:

The “Relevant Date” for the offer, issue and allotment of the equity shares by way of a preferential issue, as per the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, for determination of minimum price for the issue of said equity shares is Thursday, 7th March 2019, being the date thirty days prior to the date on which the shareholders’ resolution is passed.
