EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
Item No: 1 : To approve the material related party transactions between Veranda XL Learning Solutions Private Limited and its related parties.
The Members are informed that Veranda XL Learning Solutions Private Limited (“Veranda XL”), a Wholly owned subsidiary of Veranda Learning Solutions Limited (“VLSL” / the “Company”), has availed/ proposes to avail credit facilities aggregating to Rs. 125 Crores (Rupees One Hundred and Twenty-Five Crores only) (the “Facility”) from RBL Bank Limited (the “Lender”).
In order to secure the due repayment and performance of obligations in respect of the said Facility, it is proposed that Tapasya Educational Institutions Private Limited, BB Virtuals Private Limited (Step-down Subsidiaries of the Company), and Navkar Digital Institute Private Limited (Subsidiary of the Company) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries”) shall extend Corporate Guarantee(s) in favour of the Lender and create security by way of charge, including by way of hypothecation over their entire current assets and movable fixed assets, both present and future, in respect of the Facility.
Since Veranda XL and the Subsidiaries are related parties of the Company, the proposed transaction qualify as Related Party Transaction under the provisions of Regulation 2(1)(zc) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“SEBI Listing Regulations”).
Pursuant to Regulation 23 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, all Related Party Transactions require prior approval of the Audit Committee and all material Related Party Transactions require prior approval of the Members of the Company by way of a resolution.
As per the SEBI Listing Regulations, where the annual consolidated turnover is up to Rs. 20,000 Crore, a related party transaction is considered material if the transaction(s) to be entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions during a financial year exceeds 10% of the annual consolidated turnover of the listed entity. The said limits are applicable even if the transactions are in the ordinary course of business and at an arm’s length basis.
The proposed Corporate Guarantee(s) and creation of security by the Subsidiaries in favour of the Lender exceed the prescribed materiality threshold and accordingly qualify as Material Related Party Transaction.
Accordingly, approval of the Members of the Company is being sought for the proposed Material Related Party Transaction, being the provision of Corporate Guarantee(s) and creation of security by way of charge, including hypothecation, by Tapasya Educational Institutions Private Limited, BB Virtuals Private Limited and Navkar Digital Institute Private Limited in favour of RBL Bank Limited in connection with the Facility availed/ to be availed by Veranda XL.
