As the pricing of the Issue can only be decided at a later stage, it is not possible to state the price of the Equity Shares to be issued. However, the pricing of Equity Shares shall be in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. As the price of the Equity Shares shall be determined at a later stage, exact number of Equity Shares to be issued in the Issue shall also be determined later.

In case the Board or the Committee of Directors duly authorised in this regard, decides to issue and allot Equity Shares by way of a QIP in terms of SEBI ICDR Regulations: (a) the “relevant date” for the purpose of pricing of the Equity Shares shall be the date of the meeting in which the Board or the Committee of Directors duly authorised in this regard decides to open the proposed QIP; (b) the issue of Equity Shares made by way of a QIP shall be at such price which is not less than the price determined in accordance with the pricing formula provided under the SEBI ICDR Regulations; (c) the Board may at its absolute discretion, issue fresh/new Equity Shares at a discount of not more than 5% on the price determined for the QIP under the SEBI ICDR Regulations, or such other discount as may be permitted under applicable law; and (d) allotment of Equity Shares in the QIP pursuant to the special resolution passed by the Shareholders shall be completed within a period of 12 months (i.e., 365 days) from the date of passing of such resolution.
