year ended March 31, 2016.

6.2. The Buyback would be financed out of free reserves of the Company. The Company shall transfer

from its free reserves a sum equal to the nominal value of the Equity Shares bought back through the

Buyback to the Capital Redemption Reserve Account and the details of such transfer shall be

disclosed in its subsequent audited balance sheet. The funds borrowed, if any, from Banks and

Financial Institutions will not be used for the Buyback.

17.2. The Buyback will provide the Shareholders an additional exit opportunity at a reasonable price,

reduction in outstanding number of Equity Shares and the consequent increase in earning per Equity Share and enhance the overall shareholders value. The Buyback will not in any manner impair the ability of the Company to pursue growth opportunities.

17.3. The Buyback is expected to contribute to further improvement in the financial ratios which will

enhance the shareholders’ value.

17.4. Pursuant to the proposed Buyback and depending on the response to the Buyback, the voting rights of the Promoter and Promoter group in the Company may increase over the existing 74.99% holding in the total equity capital and voting rights of the Company. The Promoter and Promoter group of the Company are already in control over the Company and therefore such further increase in voting rights of the promoter group will not result in any change in control over the Company.

17.5. The shareholding, post Buyback, may differ depending upon the actual number of Equity Shares

bought back under the Buyback. The Buyback of Equity Shares will not result in a change in control or otherwise affect the existing management structure.

17.6. Post Buyback, the Debt to Equity ratio of the Company will be within the limit of 2:1 as prescribed under the Act.

18. COLLECTION CENTRE

Eligible Shareholders are requested to submit their Form(s) and requisite documents either by

or hand deliver the same to the Registrar at the address mentioned in paragraph 28.

19. METHOD TO BE ADOPTED FOR BUYBACK

19.1. The Buyback shall be on a proportionate basis from all the members holding Equity Shares of the

Company through the “Tender Offer” route, as prescribed under the Buyback Regulations and SEBI

Circular. The Buyback will be implemented in accordance with the Companies Act and the Share

Capital Rules to the extent applicable and on such terms and conditions as may be deemed fit by the

Company.

19.2. As required under the Buyback Regulations, the Company announced the record date as January

13, 2017 (the “Record Date”) for determining the names of the members holding Equity Shares of the

Company who will be eligible to participate in the Buyback. In due course, each shareholder as on the

Record Date will receive a Letter of Offer along with a Tender / Offer Form indicating the entitlement

of the shareholder for participating in the Buyback. The Equity Shares to be bought back as a part of

the buyback is divided in two categories:

a. Reserved category for Small Shareholders (“Reserved Category”); and

b. General category for all other shareholders (“General Category”)

Draft Letter Of Offer

17

19.3. As defined in Regulation 2(1) (la) of the Buyback Regulations, a “Small Shareholder” is a

shareholder who holds Equity Shares having market value, on the basis of closing price on stock

exchanges as on Record Date, of not more than Rs. 2,00,000 (Rupees Two Lacs only).

19.4. In accordance with the proviso to Regulation 6 of the Buyback Regulations, 15% (fifteen percent)

of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to buyback or number of Equity Shares

entitled as per the shareholding of Small Shareholders as on the record date, whichever is higher,

shall be reserved for the Small Shareholders as part of this Buyback. The Company believes that this

reservation for Small Shareholders would benefit a large number of public shareholders, who would

get classified as “Small Shareholder”.

19.5. Based on the holding on the Record Date, the Company will determine the entitlement of each

shareholder to tender their shares in the Buyback. This entitlement for each shareholder will be

calculated based on the number of Equity Shares held by the respective shareholder as on the Record

Date and the ratio of Buyback applicable in the category to which such shareholder belongs.

19.6. Shareholders’ participation in Buyback will be voluntary. Members holding Equity Shares of the

Company can choose to participate and get cash in lieu of Shares to be accepted under the Buyback

or they may choose not to participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding,

post Buyback, without additional investment. Members holding Equity Shares of the Company may

also accept a part of their entitlement. Members holding Equity Shares of the Company also have the

option of tendering additional Shares (over and above their entitlement) and participate in the shortfall

created due to non-participation of some other shareholders, if any.

19.7. The maximum Shares to be tender under the Buyback by any shareholder cannot exceed the

number of Equity Shares held by the shareholder as on the Record Date. The Equity Shares tendered

as per the entitlement by members holding Equity Shares of the Company as well as additional Shares

tendered, if any, will be accepted as per the procedure laid down in Buyback Regulations. The

settlement of the tenders under the Buyback is will be done using SEBI Circular

19.8. Detailed instructions for participation in the Buyback (tender of Equity Shares in the Buyback) as

well as the relevant time table will be included in the Letter of Offer which will be sent in due course to

the members holding Equity Shares of the Company as on the Record Date.

19.9. The Equity Shares lying to the credit of the Company Demat Account and the Equity Shares bought

back and accepted in physical form will be extinguished in the manner and following the procedure

prescribed in the Buyback Regulations.

19.10. TENDER FORM, TRS AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO THE

COMPANY OR TO THE MANAGER TO THE BUYBACK.

20. RECORD DATE, RATIO OF BUYBACK AND ENTITLEMENT OF EACH SHAREHOLDER

20.1. The Share Buyback Committee in its meeting held on January 3, 2017 announced January 13,

2017 as the Record Date for the purpose of determining the entitlement and the names of the

Shareholders, who are eligible to participate in the Buyback.

Draft Letter Of Offer

18

20.2. As on the Record Date, the closing price on BSE was ₹ [●] per Equity Share, accordingly all

Shareholders holding not more than [●] Equity Shares as on the Record Date are classified as ‘Small

Shareholders’ for the purpose of the Buyback Offer.

20.3. Based on the above definition, there are [●] Small Shareholders with aggregate shareholding of

[●] Shares, as on the Record Date, which constitutes [●] % of the outstanding paid up equity share

capital of the Company and [●] % of the number of Equity Shares which are proposed to be bought

back as part of this Buyback.

20.4. In compliance with Regulation 6 of the Buyback Regulations, the reservation for the Small

Shareholders, will be [●] Equity Shares which is higher of:

i. Fifteen percent of the number of Equity Shares which the Company proposes to buyback i.e.

15% of 9,41,176 Equity Shares which works out to 141,176 Equity Shares; or

ii. The number of Equity Shares entitled as per their shareholding as on Record Date i.e. ([●] /

50019500) X 9,41,176] which works out to [●] Equity Shares.

20.5. All the outstanding Equity Shares have been used for computing the entitlement of Small

Shareholders since the Promoter also intends to offer Equity Shares held by them in the Buyback.

20.6. Accordingly, the entitlement for General Category shall consist of [●] Equity Shares

20.7. Based on the above, the entitlement ratio of Buyback for both categories is decided as below:

Category Entitlement Ratio of Buyback*

Reserved Category

[●] ([●]) Equity Shares out of every [●] ([●]) fully paid-up Equity Shares held on the Record Date

General Category

[●]([●]) Equity Shares out of every [●] ([●]) fully paid-up Equity Shares held on the Record Date

* The above ratio of Buyback is approximate and indicative in nature. Any computation of entitled Equity

Shares using the above ratio of Buyback may provide a slightly different number due to rounding-off. The

actual Buyback Entitlement for Reserved Category for Small Shareholders is [●]% and General category

for all other Eligible Shareholders is [●]%.

It is clarified the entitlements are non transferable and cannot be renounced. However shareholder can apply for more than their entitlement. 21. FRACTIONAL ENTITLEMENTS

21.1. If the entitlement under Buyback, after applying the abovementioned ratios to the Equity Shares

held on Record Date, is not a round number (i.e. not in the multiple of 1 Equity Share) then the fractional

entitlement shall be ignored for computation of entitlement to tender Equity Shares in the Buyback, for

both categories of Shareholders.

21.2. On account of ignoring the fractional entitlement, those Small Shareholders who hold [●] ([●]) or

less Equity Shares as on Record Date, will be dispatched a Tender Form with zero entitlement.

However, such Small Shareholders are entitled to tender additional Equity Shares as part of the

Buyback.
