2. NECESSITY FOR THE BUYBACK AND DETAILS THEREOF
- 2.1. The Buyback will help the Company achieve the following objectives: (i) optimize returns to shareholders; and (ii) enhance overall shareholders' value. The Buyback is being undertaken, inter-alia, for the following reasons:
- (i) The Buyback may help in improving return on equity by reduction in the equity base, thereby leading to long term increase in shareholders' value; and
- (ii) The Buyback gives an option to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company, who can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of Equity Shares to be accepted under the Buyback offer or they may choose not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback offer, without additional investment.
- 2.2. The Buyback is not likely to cause any material impact on the ability of the Company to pursue growth opportunities or meet its cash requirements for business operations and for continued capital investment.
- 2.3. The Board at its meeting held on February 06, 2021, considered the accumulated free reserves as well as the cash liquidity reflected in the last audited financial statements as on March 31, 2020, and considering these, the Board decided to allocate a sum of ` 60 Crore (Indian Rupees Sixty Crore Only) excluding the Transaction Costs for distributing to the shareholders holding Equity Shares of the Company through the Buyback.
3. BASIS FOR ARRIVING AT THE MAXIMUM BUYBACK PRICE AND OTHER DETAILS
- 3.1. The Maximum Buyback Price of ` 300 (Indian Rupees Three Hundred Only) per Equity Share has been arrived at after considering various factors, including average of the weekly high and low of the closing price of the Equity Shares of the Company on the Stock Exchanges during the 2 (two) weeks preceding the date of the Board Meeting, the net worth of the Company and the potential impact of the Buyback on the earnings per share and other similar ratios of the Company. The Maximum Buyback Price excludes the Transaction Costs.
- 3.2. The Maximum Buyback Price is at a premium of 63.80% and 63.80% over the closing prices on both BSE and NSE, respectively, on January 25, 2021 i.e., one trading day prior to the date on which the notice of the Board Meeting to consider the Buyback proposal was intimated to Stock Exchanges. The Maximum Buyback Price represents a premium of 55.44% and 55.74% compared to the average of the weekly high and low of the closing prices of the Equity Shares on BSE and NSE, respectively, during the 2 (two) weeks preceding the date of the Board Meeting.
- 3.3. The Buyback is proposed to be completed within the Maximum Buyback Period. Subject to the Maximum Buyback Price of ` 300 (Indian Rupees Three Hundred Only) per Equity Share, the Maximum Buyback Period, and achievement of the Minimum Buyback Size, the actual time frame and the price for the Buyback will be determined by the Board of Directors or the Buyback Committee or their duly authorized representatives, at their discretion, in accordance with the Buyback Regulations.
- 3.4. In accordance with Section 68(2)(d) of the Companies Act and Regulation 4(ii) of the Buyback Regulations, the ratio of the aggregate of secured and unsecured
debts owed by the Company after Buyback shall not be more than twice the paid-up capital and free reserves based on audited financial statements of the Company.
3.5. The actual number of Equity Shares bought back during the Buyback period will depend upon the actual price, excluding the Transaction Costs, paid for the Equity Shares bought back and the aggregate consideration paid in the Buyback, subject to the Maximum Buyback Size. The actual reduction in existing number of Equity Shares would depend upon the price at which the Equity Shares of the Company are traded at the Stock Exchanges as well as the total number of Equity Shares bought back by the Company from the open market through the Stock Exchanges during the Buyback period.

- 12. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE LIKELY IMPACT OF THE BUYBACK ON THE COMPANY
- 12.1 The Buyback is expected to enhance overall long-term shareholders' value for continuing shareholders, without compromising on the future growth opportunities of the Company, as well as provide an exit opportunity to the public shareholders. The Buyback is not likely to cause any material adverse impact on the earnings of the Company, except a reduction in the treasury income which the Company could have otherwise earned from investments in fixed deposits and mutual funds. The Company will also bear the cost of the Buyback transaction.
- 12.2 The Buyback is proposed, considering the accumulated surplus funds available with the Company being in excess of the surplus amount needed to be retained by the Company for future growth of the Company as envisaged by the Board.
- 12.3 The Buyback will be funded out of the internal accruals of the Company including free reserves of the Company, in accordance with Section 68(1) of the Companies Act and Regulation 4(ix) of the Buyback Regulations.
- 12.4 The Buyback will lead to reduction in existing Equity Shares and consequently, is expected to improve the earnings per Equity share and enhance return on equity, assuming that the Company would earn similar profits as in the past.
- 12.5 Pursuant to Regulation 16(ii) of the Buyback Regulations, the promoters, promoter group and persons in control of the Company will not participate in the Buyback. The Buyback will not result in a change in control or otherwise affect the existing management structure of the Company.
- 12.6 Consequent to the Buyback (which excludes participation by the promoters, promoter group and persons in control of the Company) and based on the number of Equity Shares bought back by the Company from the shareholders including those resident outside India, erstwhile overseas corporate bodies, foreign portfolio investors and non-resident Indian shareholders, the shareholding pattern of the Company would undergo a change; however public shareholding shall not fall below 25% of the total fully paid up equity share capital of the Company.
- 12.7 In accordance with Section 68(2)(d) of the Companies Act and Regulation 4(ii) of the Buyback Regulations, the ratio of the aggregate of secured and unsecured debts owed by the Company shall not be more than twice the paid-up capital and free reserves post the Buyback based on audited financial statements of the Company.
- 12.8 The Company shall not issue any Equity Shares or other securities including by way of bonus issue, till the date of expiry of the Buyback period in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act and the Buyback Regulations. The Company shall not make any further issue of the same kind of shares or
3
other securities including allotment of new shares under Section 62(1)(a) or other specified securities within a period of 6 (six) months after the completion of the Buyback except by way of bonus shares or equity shares issued in order to discharge subsisting obligations such as conversion of warrants, stock option schemes, sweat equity or conversion of preference shares or debentures into Equity Shares. Further, unless otherwise specifically permitted by any relaxation circular issued by SEBI, in accordance with Regulation 24(i)(f) of the Buyback Regulations, the Company shall not raise further capital for a period of 1 (one) year from the expiry of the buyback period, except in discharge of its subsisting obligations.
12.9 Unless otherwise determined by the Board or Buyback Committee or as may be directed by the Appropriate Authorities, the Buyback will be completed within a maximum period of 6 (six) months from the date of opening of the Buyback. In accordance with Buyback Regulations, the Company shall not withdraw the Buyback once this Public Announcement has been made.
13. STATUTORY APPROVALS

- 13.2 The Buyback from each shareholder is subject to all statutory consents and approvals as may be required by such shareholder under applicable laws and regulations. The shareholders shall be solely responsible for obtaining all such statutory consents and approvals (including, without limitation the approvals from the Reserve Bank of India and / or SEBI, if any) as may be required by them in order to sell their Equity Shares to the Company pursuant to the Buyback. Shareholders would be required to provide copies of all such consents and approvals obtained by them to the Company's Broker.
- 13.3 The Buyback shall be subject to such necessary approvals as may be required, and the Buyback from erstwhile overseas corporate bodies and other applicable categories shall be subject to such approvals of the Reserve Bank of India, if any, under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and the rules and regulations framed thereunder, as amended from time to time.
