The Board has also taken note of his skills, experience and expertise, which are considered relevant and valuable to the Company, as identified by the NRC, and is of the view that his appointment beyond 75 years, as an Independent Director is justified, inter alia, on account of his over four decades of rich and diverse experience as a Senior Advocate, with extensive expertise in taxation, corporate and commercial laws, securities and capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, foreign exchange regulations, competition law, intellectual property and dispute resolution.

The resolution seeks the approval of the members, by way of a Special Resolution, for the appointment of Mr. Ravi Shankararamiah as an Independent Director of the Company beyond the age of 75 years, for a term of five (5) consecutive years commencing from February 13, 2026
