Note:
1. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, mutual funds held by the Company were redeemed and these proceeds were directly credited to its cash credit/current accounts instead of being transferred to the Monitoring account of the Company. Further, during the reported quarter, the Company had utilized a total sum of Rs 22.75 crores, out of the credited issue proceeds, towards the stated objects of the issue through these accounts directly, for operational convenience.
2. As on March 31, 2025, both the QIP Escrow account balance and monitoring account balance stands Nil. Hence, this is the final Monitoring Agency report being issued by Crisil Ratings for the proceeds raised through the QIP of Wockhardt Limited.

Note: As per Company's Placement Document dated November 11, 2024, the Company had estimated to utilize Rs 887.53 crore for the aforementioned objects by Fiscal 2025. However, based on the management undertaking, the Company has utilized Rs 544.31 crore only as at the end of fiscal 2025, hence, there is a delay in the implementation schedule.
Reason for delay in Object 1: Negotiation with lender is currently ongoing. Loan will be repaid in current fiscal 2026
Reason for delay in Object 2: The current capex process is underway with vendors being under technical and commercial evaluation and ongoing negotiation. The outflow pertaining to the same will commence in the current fiscal 2026
Reason for delay in Object 3: There is a procedural delay in utilization of General Corporate Purpose funds, the said funds shall be utilized in the current fiscal 2026.
However , the Placement Document further states that, “The Company may have to revise the funding requirements and deployment from time to time on account of various factors, such as financial and market conditions, competition, business and strategy and interest/exchange rate fluctuations and other external factors, which may not be within the control of the management. This may entail rescheduling the proposed utilization of the Net Proceeds and changing the allocation of funds from its planned allocation at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance with applicable law.”
