Further, the Company wishes to provide the following additional information in relation to the resignation of
Mr. OP Bhatt as an Independent Director and Chairman of the Board on September 8, 2026. The members
of the Board have since taken the same on record.
As part of the Internal audit plan for Q2 FY26, the Company's internal auditor reviewed, among other matters,
the process followed in relation to the Board Evaluation Exercise under the guidance of the Chairman and
the resulting Board Evaluation Report (BER) presented by the Chairman to the Board.
The review identified certain concerns in relation to the manner in which the BER had been dealt with and
presented to the Board, including that certain material information contained in or relating to the BER and
the performance of the Chairman had not been fully disclosed to the Board when the BER was presented.
Considering these observations, the Board set out its concerns and sought an explanation from the Chairman
in relation to the matters identified in the review. The Chairman provided his response to the matters raised
and the Board was in the process of considering and evaluating his explanation and had not taken any final
decision in relation to the matters raised with him. While the Chairman stated, that he had acted in good faith,
the Chairman tendered his resignation from the Board with immediate effect on September 8, 2026.
The Board considers it important to clarify that the Chairman's resignation followed the concerns identified
in the internal audit review and the subsequent process undertaken by the Board to seek and consider his
explanation in relation to those concerns.

Annexure B
Email received from Mr. Bhatt as on September 8, 2026:
Dear Members of the Board,
I have carefully considered the matters raised with me concerning the Board evaluation process, my response
to those matters, and the circumstances that have followed.
After such consideration, I have concluded that it is appropriate for me to resign from the Board of Directors
of the Company, with immediate effect.
This is not a decision I have taken lightly. I have served the Company as an Independent Director and Chairman
with a strong sense of responsibility and have always sought to discharge my duties independently, objectively
and in the best interests of the Company and all its shareholders. My record will reflect my efforts to maintain
an appropriate balance between the interests of shareholders, management and the Company.
I believe that continuing on the Board while there remains a disagreement considering the characteristics of
my good faith actions in the Board evaluation process would not be conducive to the effective functioning of
the Board.
The matters referred to above are the material reasons for my resignation, and I confirm that there are no other
material reasons for my resignation.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have served the Company and for the trust placed in me during my tenure.
I also remain grateful to my fellow Board members, the management team and colleagues for their cooperation
and support.
I wish the Company and all its stakeholders continued success.
Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from the Board, and, from all committees and positions held
by me in connection with my directorship.
Yours sincerely,
O. P. Bhatt
