ANNEXURE TO THE NOTICE

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013

Pursuant to Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"), the following Explanatory Statement sets out all material facts relating to the business mentioned under Item No. 1 of the accompanying Notice dated May 19, 2026.

Item No. 1

As the members are aware the Company is engaged in the business of providing telecom services. The Company requires additional funding for its operations including for servicing and/or repayment of existing debts, repayment of dues to DoT including towards spectrum instalments, capital expenditure, other working capital requirements of the Company, and / or general corporate purposes. In this regard, the Company has been actively evaluating and exploring various avenues for raising of funds.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board"), at its meeting held on May 16, 2026 has approved raising of funds aggregating up to ₹ 4,730 Crore by way of issuance of upto 430 Crore warrants ("Warrants"), for cash at a price of ₹ 11/- (Rupees Eleven) per Warrant ("Warrant Issue Price"), each Warrant convertible into, or exchangeable for, 1 (one) fully paid-up equity share of the Company of face value of ₹ 10/- at a premium of ₹ 1 (Rupee One) each, which may be exercised in one or more tranches during the period commencing from the date of allotment of the Warrants until expiry of 18 (eighteen) months, to Suryaja Investments Pte. Ltd., Singapore, a member of the Promoter Group of the Company (referred to as "the Proposed Allottee"), by way of a preferential issue through private placement offer, that has agreed to subscribe to the proposed preferential issue and has confirmed its eligibility in terms of Regulation 159 of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 (the "ICDR Regulations").

In accordance with Sections 23(1)(b), 42 and 62(1)(c) and other applicable provisions, if any, of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") and the rules made thereunder and in accordance with the ICDR Regulations and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended from time to time, approval of the Members of the Company by way of special resolution is required to issue securities by way of private placement on a preferential basis.

Accordingly, in terms of the Act and the ICDR Regulations, consent of the members is being sought for the raising of funds aggregating upto ₹ 4,730 Crore by way of issue and allotment of upto 430 Crore Warrants.

The details of the issue and other particulars as required in terms of the Companies Act, 2013 and Chapter V of the ICDR Regulations are set out below:

(iii) Objects of the Issue:

The Company intends to utilize the total proceeds proposed to be raised through the issuance of Warrants towards capital expenditure for expansion of network infrastructure and repayment of loans availed for capital expenditure for expansion of network infrastructure.

Utilization of Gross Proceeds along with Timeline for utilisation is given below

Given that the funds to be received against Warrant issuance and conversion thereof will be in tranches and the quantum of funds required on different dates may vary, therefore, the broad range of intended use of the Issue Proceeds for the above Objects is set out hereinbelow:

Particulars Total estimated amount to be utilized* Timelines for Utilisation of Funds from the date of receipt of funds
Capital expenditure for expansion of network infrastructure ₹ 1,730 Crore By end March 2028
Repayment of loans availed for capital expenditure for expansion of network infrastructure ₹ 3,000 Crore By end December 2027
Total ₹ 4,730 Crore

*Considering 100% conversion of Warrants into Equity Shares within the stipulated time

As the Preferential Issue is of convertible Warrants and the issue proceeds shall be received in tranches by the Company within 18 (Eighteen) months from the date of allotment of the Warrants in terms of Chapter V of the ICDR Regulations and therefore, as estimated by our management, the entire Issue Proceeds would be utilized for the aforementioned Objects, in phases, as per the Company's business requirements and availability of issue proceeds, latest by end March 2028.

In terms of the NSE Circular No. NSE/CML/2022/56 dated 13 December, 2022 and the BSE Circular No. 20221213- 47 dated 13 December, 2022, the amount specified for the aforementioned Objects may deviate +/- 10% (ten percent) depending upon the future circumstances, given that the Objects are based on management estimates and other commercial and technical factors. Accordingly, the same is dependent on a variety of factors such as financial, market and sectoral conditions, business performance and strategy,

competition and other external factors, which may not be within the control of the Company and which may result in modifications to the proposed schedule for utilization of the Issue Proceeds at the discretion of the Board, subject to compliance with applicable laws.

Interim Use of Proceeds

The Company will have flexibility to deploy the net proceeds of the issue. Pending complete utilization for the object described above, the Company intends to, inter alia, invest the net proceeds in money market instruments including money market mutual funds, deposits in scheduled commercial banks, securities issued by Government of India or any other investments as permitted under applicable laws.

Monitoring Agency
