The Buyback is within 25% (twenty-five percent) of the aggregate of the paid-up capital and free reserves of the Company based on audited standalone or consolidated financial statements of the Company as on March 31, 2025, whichever sets out a lower amount. The Buyback Offer Size constitutes 24.81% and 7.78% of the aggregate of the paid-up Equity Share capital and free reserves of the Company as per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements, respectively, of the Company as on March 31, 2025, and the Equity Shares proposed to be bought back represent approximately 1.49% of the total number of Equity Shares of the total paid-up Equity Share capital of the Company, as per the latest audited financial statements of the Company as on March 31, 2025.

Since the Buyback constitutes more than 10% (ten percent) of the total paid-up Equity Share capital and free reserves of the Company as per the latest audited standalone financial statements or
15
==> picture [524 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
consolidated financial statements as on March 31, 2025, whichever is lower, in terms of Section 68(2)(b) of the Act, it is required to obtain the consent of the shareholders of the Company, for the Buyback by way of a special resolution. Further, as per Section 110 of the Act read with Rule 22(16)(g) of the Rules, the consent of the shareholders of the Company to the Buyback can be obtained by means of postal ballot. Accordingly, the Company is seeking your consent by means of postal ballot for the aforesaid proposal as contained in the special resolution provided in this Notice.
Certain figures contained in this Notice, including financial information, have been subject to roundingoff adjustments. All decimals have been rounded off to two decimal points. In certain instance, (i) sum or percentage change of such numbers may not confirm exactly to the total figure given; and (ii) the sum of the numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not confirm exactly to the total figure given for that column or row.
As per the relevant provisions of the Act and SEBI Buyback Regulations, the Explanatory Statement contains relevant and material information to enable the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company to consider and approve the Special Resolution on the Buyback of the Company's Equity Shares.
Requisite details relating to the Buyback are given below:
-
(a) Date of the Board Meeting at which the proposal for Buyback was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company – June 16, 2025
-
(b) Necessity for the Buyback
The Buyback is being undertaken by the Company after taking into account the strategic and operational cash requirements of the Company in the medium term and for returning surplus funds to the members in an effective and efficient manner. The Board at its meeting held on June 16, 2025 considered the accumulated free reserves as well as the cash liquidity reflected in the latest available standalone and consolidated audited financial statements as on March 31, 2025 and also as on the date of the Board Meeting and considering these, the Board decided to allocate up to INR 175,00,00,000/- (Indian Rupee One Hundred and Seventy Five Crore only) excluding the Transaction Costs for distributing to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company as on the Record Date through the Buyback.
Buyback is being undertaken, inter-alia, for the following reasons:
-
(i) The Buyback will help the Company to return surplus cash to its shareholders holding Equity Shares broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing the overall return to shareholders;
-
(ii) The Buyback, which is being implemented through the tender offer route as prescribed under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, would involve allocation of number of Equity Shares as per the entitlement of small shareholders as on the Record Date or 15% (fifteen percent) of the number of Equity Shares to be bought back, whichever is higher, reserved for the small shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as “small shareholder” as per Regulation 2(i)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations;
-
(iii) The Buyback would help in improving its earning per share and return on equity, by reduction in the equity base and based on assumption that the Company would earn similar profits as in past, thereby leading to long term increase in shareholders’ value; and
16
==> picture [524 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
-
(iv) The Buyback gives the Eligible Shareholders (as defined below) an option to either: (A) participate and get cash in lieu of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buyback offer; or (B) not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback offer, without additional investment.
-
(c) Maximum amount required for Buyback, its percentage of the total paid-up capital and free reserves and source of funds from which Buyback would be financed
-
(i) The maximum amount required for Buyback will not exceed INR 175,00,00,000/- (Indian Rupee One Hundred and Seventy Five Crore only) excluding the Transaction Costs, being 24.81% and 7.78% of the total paid-up capital and free reserves of the Company based on standalone or consolidated financial statements of the Company respectively as on March 31, 2025, whichever sets out a lower amount which is within the prescribed limit of 25%.
-
(ii) The funds for the implementation of the proposed Buyback will be sourced out of the free reserves of the Company (including securities premium account) or such other source as may be permitted by the SEBI Buyback Regulations and the Companies Act. The funds borrowed, if any, from banks and financial institutions will not be used for the Buyback.
-
(iii) The Company shall transfer from its free reserves and/ or securities premium account a sum equal to the nominal value of the Equity Shares bought back through the Buyback to the capital redemption reserve account and details of such transfer shall be disclosed in its subsequent audited financial statement.
(d) Buyback Offer Price and the basis of arriving at the price of the Buyback
-
(i) The Equity Shares of the Company are proposed to be bought back at a price INR 875/(Indian Rupee Eight Hundred and Seventy Five only) per Equity Share. The Buyback Offer Price has been arrived at, after considering various factors including, but not limited to the trends in the volume weighted average prices of the Equity Shares on the BSE and NSE where the Equity Shares are listed, the net worth of the Company, price earnings ratio, impact on other financial parameters and the possible impact of Buyback on the earnings per Equity Share.
-
(ii) The Buyback Offer Price represents a:
-
(a) Premium of 67.58% and 66.42% on volume weighted average market price of the Equity Shares on NSE and BSE, respectively, during the three months preceding June 11, 2025, being the date of intimation to NSE and BSE for the Board Meeting to consider the proposal of the Buyback (“ Intimation Date ”).
-
(b) Premium of 41.72% and 41.56% over the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Shares on NSE and BSE, respectively, for two weeks preceding the Intimation Date.
-
(c) Premium of 40.53% and 40.62% over the closing price of the Equity Shares on NSE and BSE, respectively, as on the Intimation Date.
In accordance with Regulation 5(via) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the Board/ Buyback committee may increase the Buyback Offer Price and decrease the number of Equity Shares proposed to be bought back provided that there is no change in the Buyback Offer Size, till 1 (One) working day prior to
17
==> picture [524 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
the Record Date fixed for the purpose of Buyback.
(e) Maximum number of Equity Shares that the Company proposes to Buyback
The Company proposes to Buyback not exceeding to 20,00,000 Equity Shares of the Company, representing 1.49% of the total number of Equity Shares in the existing total paid-up equity share capital of the Company.
(f) Method to be adopted for the Buyback
-
(i) The Buyback shall be on a proportionate basis (subject to the reservation for small shareholders in accordance with SEBI Buyback Regulations) through the “Tender Offer” route, as prescribed under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, to the extent permissible, and the “Mechanism for acquisition of shares through Stock Exchange pursuant to Tender-Offers under Takeovers Buy Back and Delisting” as prescribed under the SEBI Circulars. The Buyback will be implemented in accordance with the Act, Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, to the extent applicable, the SEBI Buyback Regulations and on such terms and conditions as may be deemed fit by the Company.
-
(ii) As required under the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the Company will in the public announcement, fix a record date for the Buyback (the “ Record Date ”) for determining the names of the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company who will be eligible to participate in the Buyback (“ Eligible Shareholders ”).
-
(iii) In due course, each Eligible Shareholder will receive a Letter of Offer along with a tender/ offer form indicating the entitlement of the shareholders for participating in the Buyback.
-
(iv) The Equity Shares to be bought back as a part of the Buyback is divided in two categories:
-
(a) Reserved category for the small shareholders; and (b) General category for all other shareholders.
-
(v) As defined in Regulation 2(i)(n) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, a “small shareholder” is a shareholder who holds Equity Shares having market value, on the basis of closing price on stock exchanges in which the highest trading volume in respect of such Equity Shares as on Record Date, is not more than INR 2,00,000/- (Indian Rupees Two Lakh Only).
-
(vi) In accordance with the proviso to Regulation 6 of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, 15% (fifteen percent) of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to buyback or such number of Equity Shares entitled as per the shareholding of small shareholders as on the Record Date, whichever is higher, shall be reserved for the small shareholders as part of this Buyback. The Company believes that this reservation for small shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would get classified as “small shareholder”.
-
(vii) Based on the holding on the Record Date, the Company will determine the entitlement of each Eligible Shareholder to tender their shares in the Buyback. This entitlement for each Eligible Shareholder will be calculated based on the number of Equity Shares held by the respective shareholder as on the Record Date and the ratio of Buyback applicable in the category to which such shareholder belongs. As the promoters and members of the promoter group of the Company have expressed their intention of not participating in the Buyback, the Equity Shares held by such member of the promoter/ promoter group shall not be considered for computing the entitlement ratio, in accordance with the proviso to Regulation 4(iv)(a) of
18
==> picture [524 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
the SEBI Buyback Regulations.
-
(viii) In accordance with the explanation to Regulation 9(ix) of the SEBI Buyback Regulations, to ensure that the same shareholders with multiple demat accounts/folios do not receive a higher entitlement under the small shareholder category, the Company will club together the Equity Shares held by such shareholders with a common PAN for determining the category (Small Shareholder or General) and entitlement under the Buyback. In case of joint shareholding, the Company will club together the Equity Shares held in cases where the sequence of the PANs of the joint shareholders is identical. In case of physical shareholders, where the sequence of PANs is identical, the Company will club together the Equity Shares held in such cases. Similarly, in case of physical shareholders where PAN is not available, the Company will check the sequence of names of the joint holders and club together the Equity Shares held in such cases where the sequence of name of joint shareholders is identical. The shareholding of institutional investors like mutual funds, pension funds/trusts, insurance companies etc., with common PAN will not be clubbed together for determining the category and will be considered separately, where these Equity Shares are held for different schemes and have a different demat account nomenclature based on information prepared by the Registrar and Transfer Agent as per the shareholder records received from the Depositories.
-
(ix) Shareholders’ participation in Buyback will be voluntary. Eligible Shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of shares to be accepted under the Buyback or they may choose not to participate. Eligible Shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company may also accept a part of their entitlement. Eligible Shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company also have the option of tendering additional shares (over and above their entitlement) and participate in the shortfall created due to non-participation of some other shareholders, if any.
-
(x) The maximum tender under the Buyback by any Eligible Shareholder cannot exceed the number of Equity Shares held by such shareholder as on the Record Date.
-
(xi) The Buyback from shareholders who are persons resident outside India, including the foreign portfolio investors, erstwhile overseas corporate bodies and non-resident Indian, etc., shall be subject to such approvals, if any and to the extent required from the concerned authorities including approvals from the Reserve Bank of India under Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and the rules and regulations framed there under, and such approvals shall be required to be taken by such non-resident shareholders.
-
(xii) Detailed instructions for participation in the Buyback (tender of Equity Shares in the Buyback) as well as the relevant timetable will be included in the letter of offer which will be sent in due course to the Eligible Shareholders.
(g) Time limit for completing the Buyback
The Buyback is proposed to be completed within a period of 1 (one) year from the date of passing of special resolution by the shareholders through this Notice, approving the proposed Buyback.
(h) Compliance with Section 68(2)(c) of the Companies Act
- (i) The aggregate paid-up share capital and free reserves (including securities premium) as per the latest available standalone and consolidated audited financial statements of the Company as on March 31, 2025 is INR 70,534.96 lakhs and INR 2,25,016.55 lakhs, respectively. Under the provisions of the Companies Act and the SEBI Buyback Regulations, the funds
19
==> picture [524 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
deployed for the Buyback should be 25% (twenty-five percent) or less of the aggregate of the paid-up capital and free reserves of the Company as per the latest audited standalone or consolidated financial statements of the Company as on March 31, 2025 (the latest standalone audited financial statements available as on the date of Board meeting recommending the proposal of the Buyback), whichever sets out a lower amount. The maximum amount proposed to be utilized for the Buyback, is not exceeding INR 175,00,00,000/- (Indian Rupee One Hundred and Seventy Five Crore only) and is therefore within the above-mentioned limit.
- (ii) Further, under the Act and SEBI Buyback Regulations, the number of Equity Shares that can be bought back in any financial year cannot exceed 25% (twenty-five percent) of the total Equity Shares in the total paid-up equity capital of the Company in that financial year.
