SECTION 3: RISK FACTORS
The following are the risks relating to the Company, the Debentures and the market in general
envisaged by the management of the Company. If any or some combination of the
following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or believed to be material, actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operation may suffer, and the
trading price of, and the value of your investment in, the Debentures may decline and you may
lose all or part of your investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors relating to the business and the industry described below, together with all other
information contained in this document before making any investment decision relating to the
Debentures. These risks and uncertainties are not the only issues that the Company faces; additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that are currently
believed to be immaterial may also have an adverse effect on the business, results of
operations, financial condition or prospects and cause the market price of the Debentures to
fluctuate and consequently adversely impact the investment by investors, upon a sale of the Debentures. Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, we are not in
a position to specify or quantify the financial or other risks mentioned herein.
The ordering of the risk factors is intended to facilitate ease of reading and reference and does
not in any manner indicate the importance of one risk factor over another. Investors should
also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Memorandum of Private Placement and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision.
3.1 REPAYMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT RISK OF THE ISSUER
Potential investors should be aware that receipt of the principal amount (i.e. the redemption
amount) and any other amounts that may be due in respect of the Debentures is subject to the
credit risk of the Issuer. Potential investors assume the risk that the Issuer will not be able to satisfy their obligations under the Debentures. In the event that bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings or composition, scheme of arrangement or similar proceedings to avert
bankruptcy are instituted by or against the Issuer, the payment of sums due on the Debentures
may not be made or may be substantially reduced or delayed.
3.2 RISK OF LOW TRADING VOLUMES IN SECONDARY MARKET AND/ OR
IMPROPER FUNCTIONING OF CAPITAL MARKETS COULD RESTRICT
THE LIQUIDITY OF THE DEBENTURES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET
The Company intends to list the Debentures on the WDM segment of BSE. The Company cannot provide any guarantee that the Debentures will be frequently traded on the BSE and
that there would be any market for the Debentures. It is not possible to predict if and to what
extent a secondary market may develop for the Debentures or at what price the Debentures
will trade in the secondary market or whether such market will be liquid or illiquid. The fact that the Debentures may be so listed or quoted or admitted to trading does not necessarily lead
to greater liquidity than if they were not so listed or quoted or admitted to trading. Further, the
Company may not be able to issue any further Debentures, in case of any disruptions in the securities market.
3.3 CREDIT RISK & RATING DOWNGRADE RISK
The Rating Agency has assigned a credit rating to the Debentures. In the event of
deterioration in the financial health of the Company, there is a possibility that the Rating
Agency may downgrade the rating of the Debentures. In such cases, potential investors may incur losses on re-valuation of their investment or make provisions towards sub-standard/
non-performing investment as per their usual applicable norms. The rating is not a
recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the Debentures in as much as the ratings do not
Private & Confidential – Not for Circulation
19
comment on the market price of the Debentures or its suitability to a particular investor. There is no assurance either that the rating will remain at the same level for any given period of time
or that the rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the Rating Agency. In the
event of deterioration in the rating of the Debentures, the Investors may have to take loss on
revaluation of their investment.
3.4 TAX CONSIDERATIONS AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Special tax considerations and legal considerations may apply to certain types of potential
investors. Potential investors are urged to consult with their own financial, legal, tax and other
professional advisors to determine any financial, legal, tax and other implications of this investment.
3.5 ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Special accounting considerations may apply to certain types of taxpayers. Potential Investors
are urged to consult with their own accounting advisors to determine implications of this
investment.
3.6 SECURITY OR GUARANTEE MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO REDEEM THE
DEBENTURES
In the event that the Company is unable to meet its payment and other obligations towards
Investors under the terms of the Debentures, the Debenture Trustee may enforce the Security
as per the terms of Security Documents and/or invoke the guarantee as per the Deed of Corporate Guarantee, and other related documents. The Investor’s recovery in relation to the
Debentures will be subject to (i) the market value of such secured property, (ii) finding
willing buyers for the Security at a price sufficient to repay the potential Investors amounts outstanding under the Debentures and (iii) payment by the Target as per the terms of the Deed
of Corporate Guarantee. The value realised from the enforcement of the Security or
invocation of the guarantee under the Deed of Corporate Guarantee may be insufficient to
redeem the Debentures.
3.7 MATERIAL CHANGES IN REGULATIONS TO WHICH THE ISSUER IS
SUBJECT COULD IMPAIR THE ISSUER’S ABILITY TO MEET PAYMENT
OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS
The Issuer and the Target are subject generally to changes in Indian law, as well as to changes in government regulations and policies and accounting principles. Any changes in the
regulatory framework could adversely affect the profitability of the Issuer or its future
financial performance, by requiring a restructuring of its activities, increasing costs or
otherwise.
3.8 LEGALITY OF PURCHASE
Potential investors of the Debentures will comply with the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or the jurisdiction in which it operates or for compliance by that potential
investor with any law, regulation or regulatory policy applicable to it, in relation to the subscription of the Debentures by such investor(s).
3.9 SCHEME RELATED RISKS
The Scheme is subject to obtaining requisite approvals from SEBI and PRFDA. In the
absence of obtaining such approvals, the Issuer and the Target may not be in a position to file
the Scheme with the ROC to make the Scheme effective.
Private & Confidential – Not for Circulation
20
Further, in the event the aforesaid approvals are subject to fulfilment of certain conditions,
which in the opinion of the Issuer and the Target are detrimental to the interests of the
Sponsor, the Issuer and/or the Target, it may not be viable for the Issuer and the Target to file
the Scheme with the ROC to make the Scheme effective.
3.10 MARKET RISKS
The Target, or (after the Effective Date) the Issuer, operates / will operate primarily within
India and, accordingly, majority of its revenues are / will be derived from the domestic
market. As a result, it is / will be highly dependent on prevailing economic conditions in India and its results of operations are / will be significantly affected by factors influencing the
Indian economy. An uncertain economic situation, in India, could result in a further
slowdown in economic growth and investment. Any slowdown in the growth or a negative
growth of sectors where the Issuer has an exposure could adversely impact its performance. Any such slowdown could adversely affect its business, prospects, results of operations and
financial condition.
3.11 CLIENT CONCENTRATION
A majority of the revenue of the Target, or (after the Effective Date) the Issuer, is / will be
derived from a small portion of its clients. In the event of a downward price negotiation or termination of a contract with a key client, such client concentration could adversely impact
the financial condition and profitability of the Target, or (after the Effective Date) the Issuer.
3.12 DIGITISATION
The Target, or (after the Effective Date) the Issuer, is / will be in the business of servicing
asset management companies and lending support for inter-alia transactions with these companies. Chief among the support provided by the Target, or (after the Effective Date) the
Issuer is / will be certain back-end operations of such companies. In the event any of the
processes involved in such transactions are digitised, it may result in a reduction in the assistance required from the Target, or (after the Effective Date) the Issuer, and accordingly
may adversely impact the financial condition and profitability of the Target, or (after the
Effective Date) the Issuer.
3.13 OPERATIONAL RISKS
The Target, or (after the Effective Date) the Issuer, is / will be subject to certain operational risks owing to any administrative errors in its operations. An illustration of such risk is where,
owing to an administrative error by an employees of the Target, or (after the Effective Date)
the Issuer, the money to be credited to a particular account is credited to another account and it is difficult to recover the money so credited, the Target, or (after the Effective Date) the
Issuer, may be held liable to indemnify the customer for the loss of such money.

investor’s decision to invest / continue to invest in the debt securities.
None.
In light of the proposed Scheme, however, it may be pertinent to note the following:
Certain proceedings were initiated against the Target (KCPL) in relation to alleged
market irregularities pertaining to the initial public offerings of Yes Bank Limited
(“Yes Bank IPO”) and IDFC Limited (“IDFC IPO”) (the Yes Bank IPO and the
IDFC IPO are collectively referred to as the “IPOs”) vide ex-parte order dated April
27, 2006 and interim order dated May 26, 2006 issued by SEBI. Subsequently, SEBI
had appointed an enquiry officer to conduct an enquiry. The enquiry officer submitted
its report dated December 20, 2006 recommending prohibition on the Target to act as
registrar to issue for a period of nine months, with effect from April 27, 2006. SEBI
issued another order dated February 22, 2007, whereby it has taken the cognizance of
the ban period already underwent by the Target as per recommendation from the
enquiry officer and lifted the ban on Target to act as registrar to issue and share
transfer agent. Finally, through a final order dated February 3, 2014, the SEBI
Wholetime Member agreed with the finding of the enquiry officer that a prohibition
on the Target to act as registrar to issue and a share transfer agent (RTA), other than
RTA for mutual funds, for a period of nine months should be imposed on the Target.
In view of the fact that the Target had already undergone a prohibition on acting as a
registrar to issue and a share transfer agent for a period of nine months (during the
year 2006-07), no further penalty was imposed and the proceedings were disposed of
without any further directions.
Subsequent to the enquiries into these IPO irregularities, the regulator (SEBI) has
made a number of changes to the guidelines vide its circular dated August 10, 2018
bearing reference number SEBI/HO/MIRSD/DoP/CIR/P/2018/119 which have
strengthened processes and controls at the intermediary level.
In addition to these enquiry proceedings, SEBI had also filed a criminal complaint
pertaining to the IPOs against certain sub-brokers, Karvy Stock Broking Limited
(“KSBL”) and certain directors of KSBL before the Additional Chief Metropolitan
Magistrate, Mumbai, on September 4, 2006. The Target is not named as an accused in
the complaint but Mr. Yugandhar Meka, director of KSBL and Mr. C.Parthasarathy,
director of the Target and KSBL, are named as accused. The complaint is pending
before the Court No. 22, Sessions Court in Mumbai, but there has been no material
progress in the matter since the filing of the complaint, except periodical appearances
the last of which was on September 24, 2018 and the next scheduled date whereof is
November 26, 2018.
Private & Confidential – Not for Circulation
34
SEBI had also lodged first information reports with the Central Bureau of
Investigation (“CBI”) in relation to the IPOs. CBI investigated the matter, and filed
two chargesheets before the Special Judge, CBI, naming the Target and other Karvy
Group entities / employees as accused, in October 2007 and September 2009. Mr.
Parthasarathy is named as an accused in one of the chargesheets. There has been no
development in the proceedings since the filing of the chargesheets. The last date of
hearing in the matter was October 10, 2018 and the next scheduled date of hearing is
November 26, 2018.
The Enforcement Directorate (“ED”) has also, on reference from CBI in the same
IPO matter, taken up an investigation against the Target and other Karvy group
entities in relation to alleged money laundering offences, pertaining to the IPOs under
Section 467 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and under the Prevention of Money
Laundering Act, 2002 (“PMLA”) in the CBI chargesheets which is a predicate
offence under the schedule to the PMLA. The matter is pending before the Court No.
16, Sessions Courts, Mumbai. An appeal was filed by KCL, the Target and KSBL
against the Order of the PMLA Adjudicating Authority dated March 18, 2014, KCPL
and KSBL subsequently withdrew their appeals. There has been no other progress in
the matter since the filing of the complaint. The last date of hearing in the matter was
October 4, 2018 and the next scheduled date of hearing is November 22, 2018.
5.14 Disclosure pertaining to wilful default: None
5.15 Names of the Debentures Trustees and Consents thereof

and context in which it appears in this Memorandum of Private Placement and in all the subsequent periodical communications sent to the Debenture Holders. The
consent letter from the Debenture Trustee is provided in Annexure III of this
Memorandum of Private Placement.
5.16 Rating and Rating Rationale
The Rating Agency has assigned a rating of “[ICRA] AA- (Stable)’ (pronounced as ICRA double A minus Stable)” to the Debentures. Instruments with this rating are
considered to have high degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial
obligations. Such instruments carry low credit risk.
5.17 If the security is backed by a guarantee or letter of comfort or any other
document / letter with similar intent, a copy of the same shall be disclosed. In
case such document does not contain detailed payment structure (procedure of
invocation of guarantee and receipt of payment by the investor along with
timelines), the same shall be disclosed in the offer document.
The Debentures are guaranteed by the Target in terms of the Deed of Corporate
Guarantee, proposed to be executed on or prior to the Pay-In Date. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture Trust Deed) under Clause 13.19(a) (Acquisition) and Clause 13.19(b) (Acquisition) of the the Debenture
Trust Deed, the outstanding Secured Obligations (as defined in the Debenture Trust
Deed) shall become due and payable by the Company within 6 (six) Business Days of
Private & Confidential – Not for Circulation
35
the Deemed Date of Allotment. The Company shall, on the day of occurrence of any such Event of Default, deposit the outstanding Secured Obligations in the Issue
Proceeds Account, which shall only be used towards discharge of the Secured
Obligations. In the event the Company fails to deposit the outstanding Secured
Obligations in the Issue Proceeds Account as aforesaid, the Trustee shall mandatorily invoke the Corporate Guarantee by issuing a demand notice on the Target by email or
fax on the same day and call upon the Target to make payment of the Secured
Obligations.
The copy of the executed Deed of Corporate Guarantee will be available at the
registered office of the Company.
5.18 Names of all the recognized stock exchanges where the debt securities are
proposed to be listed:
The Debentures are proposed to be listed on the WDM segment of the BSE. The
Issuer shall comply with the requirements of the listing agreement for debt securities
to the extent applicable to it on a continuous basis. The in-principle approval of the BSE has been obtained in this regard.
5.19 Other details:

person, whose name appears in the register of debenture holders maintained by the R&T
Agent as on the Record Date, under all circumstances. In cases where the transfer formalities have not been completed by the transferor, claims, if any, by the transferees would need to be
settled with the transferor(s) and not with the Issuer. The normal procedure followed for

records on the Record Date fixed for the purpose of redemption. All such Debentures will be
simultaneously redeemed through appropriate debit corporate action.
The list of beneficiaries as of the Record Date setting out the relevant beneficiaries’ name and
account number, address, bank details and DP’s identification number will be given by the R&T Agent to the Issuer. The Issuer must make all payments using the services of electronic
clearing services (ECS), real time gross settlement (RTGS), direct credit or national electronic
fund transfer (NEFT) into the Debenture Holders Account(s); provided however, that where
direct credit, ECS, RTGS, or NEFT service is not available, such payment shall be made by the Issuer by way of bank draft or demand drafts.
6.3 Trustee for the Debenture Holder(s)
The Issuer has appointed IDBI Trusteeship Services Limited to act as the debenture trustee
for the Debenture Holder(s). The Issuer and the Debenture Trustee intend to enter into the Debenture Trustee Agreement and the Debenture Trust Deed inter alia, specifying the
powers, authorities and obligations of the Debenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Debenture
Holder(s) shall, without further act or deed, be deemed to have irrevocably given their
consent to the Debenture Trustee or any of its agents or authorized officials to do all such acts, deeds, matters and things in respect of or relating to the Debentures as the Debenture
Trustee may in its absolute discretion deem necessary or require to be done in the interest of
the Debenture Holder(s). Any payment made by the Issuer to the Debenture Trustee on behalf

repayment of principal and yield thereon and they will take necessary action, subject to and in
accordance with the Debenture Trustee Agreement and the Debenture Trust Deed, at the cost
of the Issuer. No Debenture Holder shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Issuer unless the Debenture Trustee, having become so bound to proceed, fails to do so. The
Debenture Trustee Agreement and the Debenture Trust Deed shall more specifically set out
the rights and remedies of the Debenture Holder(s) and the manner of enforcement thereof.
6.4 Sharing of Information
The Issuer may, at its option, but subject to Applicable Law, use on its own, as well as
exchange, share or part with any financial or other information about the Debenture Holder(s)
available with the Issuer, with its subsidiaries and affiliates and other banks, financial
institutions, credit bureaus, agencies, statutory bodies, as may be required and neither the Issuer nor its subsidiaries and affiliates nor their agents shall be liable for use of the aforesaid
information.
