ANNEXURE TO THE NOTICE Explanatory Statement Pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013:

Item No. 1:

Material Related Party Transactions between UltraTech Cement Limited (“the Company” or “UTCL") and The India Cements Limited (“ICEM”), subsidiary of the Company

Regulation 23(4) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, (“Listing Regulations”), as amended, mandates approval of Members by means of an ordinary resolution, in case of any ‘Material Related Party Transaction’ (i.e. any transaction with a related party with an aggregate value exceeding Rs. 1,000 crores or 10% of the annual consolidated turnover of the Company as per the last audited financial statements of the Company, whichever is lower). The definition of related party transaction (“RPTs”) under Listing Regulations includes a transaction involving transfer of resources, services or obligations between a listed entity or any of its subsidiaries on one hand and a related party of the listed entity or any of its subsidiaries on the other hand, regardless of whether a price is charged or not.

The India Cements Limited (“ICEM”) became a subsidiary and a related party of the Company with effect from 24[th] December, 2024. The Company deals with ICEM in the ordinary course of business and on arm’s length basis for various operational transactions required for the Company’s businesses to achieve its objective. The expertise, complementary strengths and competencies, and facilities available between the companies are leveraged for enhancing operating efficiency through these transactions. The transactions with ICEM will result in maximizing synergies with the Company and create value for all stakeholders.

In terms of applicable regulations, transactions with related parties require prior approval of the Audit Committee, and prior approval of the shareholders if the value of the transaction(s) crosses the materiality threshold as specified above.

Considering the quantum of transactions entered / proposed to be entered into with ICEM during the financial year 2025-26 and the framework for RPTs under the Listing Regulations, approval of the Members is sought as per the requirements of Regulation 23 of the Listing Regulations read with SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/0155 dated 11[th] November, 2024.

The Company has in place well-defined processes for approval of material RPTs and on dealing with related parties. In terms of the process, the Management has provided the Audit Committee with relevant details of the various proposed RPTs including rationale, material terms and basis of pricing. The Audit Committee, comprising of all independent directors, at its meeting held on 28[th] March, 2025, has granted approval for entering into RPTs with ICEM. The Audit Committee, based on explanations provided to them, has noted that the RPT’s to be entered will be in the ordinary course of business and at an arms’ length basis. Moreover, the RPTs placed for Members’ approval shall also be reviewed / monitored on quarterly basis by the Audit Committee as per Regulation 23 of the Listing Regulations and Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013. An independent external review was conducted covering the proposed transactions with ICEM. The review exercise concluded that the pricing policy of the transactions are adhering to the arm’s length principle. A copy of the report will be available for inspection as per the details provided in the procedure of inspection of documents at note no. 9 of the Notice.
