Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day and welcome to the Solar Industries Business Update Call. As
a reminder, all participant lines will be in the listen-only mode. There will be an opportunity for
you to ask questions after the presentation concludes. Should you need assistance during the
conference call, please signal an operator by pressing star then zero on your touch-tone phone.
Please note that this conference is being recorded. I now hand the conference over to Mr. Vikash
Singh from ICICI Securities. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Vikash Singh: Thank you, Steve. Good morning, everyone. A warm welcome to Solar Industries' con-call. We
would like to thank the management to give us the opportunity to host them. From the
management side, we have with us Mr. Manish Nuwal, Managing Director and CEO; Mr. Suresh
Menon, Executive Director; Mr. Milind Deshmukh, Executive Director; Mr. Moneesh Agrawal,
Joint CFO; and Mrs. Shalinee Mandhana, Joint CFO. Without taking any much time, I'll hand
over to Manish ji for his opening remarks. Over to you, sir.
Shalinee Mandhana: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. On behalf of Solar Group, I,
Shalinee Mandhana, would like to extend a warm welcome to all our investors, analysts,
shareholders, and stakeholders participating in this call.
Today marks a significant milestone in Solar Group's growth journey. We are pleased to
announce that Solar Overseas Investments Proprietary Limited, our wholly owned step-down
subsidiary, has signed definitive agreements for the proposed acquisition of Omnia Holdings
Limited, a leading diversified mining and agritech company headquartered in South Africa.
Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that certain statements made during this call
may be forward-looking in nature. These statements are based on current expectations,
assumptions, estimates, and projections. Actual outcomes may differ from these expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements.
I would also like to highlight that the proposed transaction remains subject to customary
regulatory, shareholder, and other closing approvals and conditions. Until completion of the
transaction, Solar and Omnia will continue to operate as independent businesses. Consequently,
there may be certain matters relating to funding, integration, synergies, future financial
performance, and other transaction-related aspects on which we may not be able to provide
detailed commentary at this stage. We look forward to sharing more comprehensive insights as
the transaction progresses.
Further, I would like to clarify that today's call is being conducted specifically to discuss the
proposed acquisition of Omnia. Accordingly, we will not be taking questions related to Solar
Group's current business operations outside the scope of this transaction.
With that, I would now like to invite our Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Manish Nuwal, to
take you through the strategic rationale and highlights of this proposed transaction. Over to you,
sir.
Manish Nuwal: A very good morning to all of our beloved shareholders and stakeholders. The strategic rationale
for this proposed acquisition of South Africa's Omnia Holdings Limited is to create a most
integrated global platform for commercial explosives and blasting solutions.

September 15, 2026
Over the past three decades, Solar has built a strong position in the global explosives industry
through its focus on innovation, reliability, and manufacturing excellence and customer-centric
solutions. The Solar Group has steadily expanded its footprint across Africa, building customer
relationships, operational capability, and market access across key mining jurisdictions.
Solar first entered the SADC region in 2010 with the establishment of its first overseas
manufacturing entity in Zambia. It expanded its operation in South Africa in 2015 through a
distribution platform, followed by the commissioning of its manufacturing facility in South
Africa in 2017. These investments have enabled Solar to establish a strong operational
foundation and become a trusted partner to the region's mining industry.
In 2024, Solar strengthened its South African presence through the acquisition of Problast, a
local South African company specializing in opencast mining, drilling, and blasting operations.
Building on this foundation, the proposed acquisition of Omnia by Solar South Africa represents
the next strategic step in Solar Group's SADC journey, significantly expanding its operations,
manufacturing, and distribution capabilities across the world.
The proposed transaction marks a transformational milestone in Solar Group's strategic ambition
to become a leading global explosives and mining solutions provider by enhancing its scale,
market access, and competitive positioning across Africa and other international markets.
Omnia's mining business, operating under the well-established BME brand, brings significant
expertise in opencast mining, bulk explosives, electronic detonation systems, digital blasting
solutions, and mining chemicals, alongside a strong presence across Africa and international
markets. The combination will serve [inaudible 0:06:20]
Moderator: Hello?
Manish Nuwal: Okay, sir. Omnia's agriculture segment provides a compelling platform that promotes
sustainable agriculture and biological solutions. Leveraging its proprietary Nutriology model
and AgriBio solutions, the business delivers science-based crop nutrition products and services
to customers across multiple geographies.
A key strategic attraction of the transaction is Omnia's integrated manufacturing infrastructure.
The agriculture segment operates nitric acid and ammonium nitrate production facilities, which
is the largest, most reliable, and sustainable in the region. In addition, Omnia has recently
expanded its ammonium nitrate storage infrastructure through a new 5,000-ton storage tank,
which has doubled its storage capacities.
These capabilities are expected to significantly strengthen the vertical integration, enhance
security of supply, improve raw material availability, increase operational flexibility, and
reinforce Solar Group's long-term cost competitiveness across the explosives value chain.
Together, Omnia's mining and agriculture business, supported by a strong integrated
manufacturing and supply chain pla
