EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

(Pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013)

Item No. 1: Approval for Voluntary Delisting of the Equity Shares of the Company from National Stock Exchange of India Ltd and BSE Limited

    1. The fully paid-up equity shares of the Company, each having a face value of Re. 1/- ('Equity Shares'), are presently listed on BSE Limited ('BSE') and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. ('NSE').
    1. The Company had received a letter dated 4th February, 2021 from Adventz Finance Private Limited, a Promoter group entity ('Adventz Finance') expressing the desire of the Promoter/ Promoter group of the Company to acquire Equity Shares from the public shareholders with the intention to voluntarily delist the Equity Shares from NSE and BSE, the stock exchanges where the Equity Shares are listed (collectively, 'Stock Exchanges'), in accordance with Delisting Regulations ('Delisting Proposal').
    1. As on date, the members of the Promoter and Promoter group of the Company collectively hold 8,26,92,750 Equity Shares representing 64.89% of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company and the public shareholders hold 4,47,33,840 Equity Shares representing 35.11% of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company.
    1. Adventz Finance, vide its letter dated 10th February, 2021, had informed the Board of Directors of the Company ('Board') of the willingness of the Promoter/ Promoter group to accept the Equity Shares tendered into the delisting offer at the price of Rs. 58/- (Rupees Fifty Eight) per Equity Share ('Indicative Offer Price'). It was clarified that the Promoter/ Promoter group has the sole discretion to accept or reject the price discovered in terms of the Delisting Regulations or provide a counteroffer to the public shareholders in terms of the Delisting Regulations and the Indicative Offer Price should in no way be construed as an obligation on the Promoter/ Promoter group to accept any price which is higher than the Indicative Offer Price.
    1. The Board, at its meeting held on 10th February 2021, interalia, acknowledged and took on record the letters dated 4th February, 2021 and 10th February, 2021 received from Adventz Finance and appointed M/s. Keynote Financial Services Limited as the merchant banker ('Merchant Banker') to carry out due diligence in accordance with the provisions under the Delisting Regulations.
    1. Further, Adventz Finance, vide its letter dated 2nd March, 2021, informed the following to the Board:
  • a. The rationale for the Delisting Proposal is as follows:

    • i. The proposed delisting is in the interest of the public shareholders as it will provide them an opportunity to exit from the Company at a price determined in accordance with the Delisting Regulations, providing immediate liquidity given the heightened market volatility.
    • ii. The proposed delisting would enable the members of the Promoter and Promoter group to obtain full ownership of the Company, which in turn will provide enhanced operational, financial and strategic flexibility to support the Company's business. As the Company will no longer remain listed, there will be reduction in dedicated management time to comply with the requirements associated with the continued listing of equity shares, which can then be refocussed on its business.
  • b. (i) the "reference date" with respect to the proposed delisting was 5th February, 2021 i.e., the date on which the Company intimated the Stock Exchanges that a meeting of the Board is being convened on 10th February, 2021 inter-alia to consider the Delisting Proposal; and (ii) as per certificate dated 1st March, 2021 issued by Messrs. M. D. Pamecha & Co., Chartered Accountants (FRN: 143057W), Rs. 45.36 (Rupees Forty Five and Thirty Six Paise only) per Equity Share is the floor price ('Floor Price'), which is arrived at in accordance with Regulation 15 of the Delisting Regulations read with Regulation 8 of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011, as amended.

  • c. The Indicative Offer Price represents a premium of 27.87% over the Floor Price.

    1. The exit offer price will be determined through the reverse book building process specified in Schedule II of the Delisting Regulations. The final offer price will be determined as the price at which the Equity Shares are accepted through eligible bids during the reverse book building process and takes the shareholding of the members of the Promoter and Promoter group of the Company to at least 90% of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company, excluding the shares which are held by a custodian and against which depository receipts have been issued. All public shareholders are entitled to participate in the reverse book building process as per the Delisting Regulations. Adventz Finance and/ or other members of the Promoter and Promoter group of the Company (as the

case may be) shall have the sole discretion to accept or reject the price discovered pursuant to the reverse book building process including other rights and obligations in terms of the Delisting Regulations. If the discovered price is rejected, Adventz Finance and/ or other members of the Promoter and Promoter group of the Company (as the case may be) may at its sole discretion propose a counteroffer, in accordance with Delisting Regulations.

    1. The public shareholders of the Company may tender their Equity Shares during the reverse book building process at the Floor Price or any such price above the Floor Price as they deem fit. The members are requested to note that the Floor Price is neither a ceiling nor the maximum price. If the Equity Shares are delisted in accordance with the Delisting Regulations, the remaining public shareholders, who either do not tender their Equity Shares or whose Equity Shares are not accepted because the price quoted by them was higher than the final offer price, are permitted to tender their Equity Shares up to a period of 1 year from the date of delisting of Equity Shares and, in such a case, Adventz Finance and/ or other members of the Promoter and Promoter group of the Company (as the case may be) shall accept such Equity Shares at the same final offer price at which the earlier acceptance of Equity Shares was made.
    1. The acquisition of the Equity Shares under the delisting offer will be conditional upon the following:
    • a. approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of special resolution through postal ballot in accordance with the Regulation 8(1)(b) of the Delisting Regulations and other applicable laws;
    • b. the acceptance by Adventz Finance and/ or other members of the Promoter and Promoter group of the Company (as the case may be) of the price payable for the Equity Shares as determined by the reverse book building process in accordance with the Delisting Regulations including other rights and obligations in terms of the Delisting Regulations;
    • c. a minimum number of Equity Shares being tendered for delisting to be successful in accordance with the Delisting Regulations;
    • d. approval of the Stock Exchanges in accordance with the Delisting Regulations and/ or any other regulatory/ statutory / governmental body and/ or consents from relevant third party, as may be required, in relation to the Delisting Proposal; and
    • e. such other terms and conditions as may be set out in the 'public announcement' or the 'letter of offer' to be dispatched to the public shareholders.
