Hence, the details of the proposed allottees, percentage of their post – QIP shareholding and the shareholding pattern of the Company are not provided. The proposal, therefore, seeks to confer upon the Board / its duly constituted committee the absolute discretion and adequate flexibility to determine the terms of the QIP, including but not limited to the identification of the proposed investors in the QIP and quantum of Specified Securities to be issued and allotted to each such investor, in accordance with the provisions of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the SEBI Listing Regulations; the Companies Act, 2013; the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, as amended and the regulations made thereunder, including the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, the Consolidated FDI Policy issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry & Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India from time to time, each as amended; and other applicable law.
