Annexure - A
Point 1.1 of Para A Part A Schedule III of SEBI Circular no. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated
January 30, 2026 – Acquisition (including agreement to acquire)
The Company has a digital financial services platform in India that provides online investment and trading services to
retail customers and is a SEBI Registered Research Analyst. It is proposed to strengthen its digital investment
ecosystem and also develop advanced research capabilities for which the Company has come across a Company which
is involved in such activities and can contribute to the digital growth.
Giskard Datatech Private Limited (“Target Company” or “Giskard” or “GDPL”) specializes in data-driven technology
solutions, including software development, data processing, analytics, and technology infrastructure services. It
focuses on building and supporting data platforms, information systems, and analytical tools, particularly for handling
large datasets and generating actionable insights.
Considering the potential of Giskard and the benefits which can be derived to the Company, it is proposed to acquire
the equity share capital of the Target Company as part of its strategic growth initiatives and to strengthen its digital
investment ecosystem. The proposed acquisition will enable the integration of Target Company advanced research
and analytics capabilities, including stock screening, portfolio analytics, research reports, investment alerts,
proprietary databases, algorithms, and AI-enabled investment solutions into the Company’s platform. This integration
is expected to enhance the overall customer experience by providing advanced investment research and decision-
support tools through a unified platform.
The acquisition is also expected to improve customer engagement and retention while creating cross-selling
opportunities across the Company’s broking, mutual fund, IPO, derivatives, wealth management, and other financial
products. Further, the transaction will strengthen the Company’s retail investor ecosystem by combining research,
analysis, and execution capabilities under one platform and facilitate the acquisition of valuable technology assets and
intellectual property.
Accordingly, the Company proposes to acquire 100% of the equity share capital of Giskard from its existing
shareholders as part of a composite acquisition transaction. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, the Target
Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, subject to receipt of requisite corporate and
regulatory approvals and completion of the transaction documents. The acquisition is proposed to be implemented
through a combination of cash consideration and issuance of equity shares of the Company by way of a share swap
arrangement in the ratio of 1:31, i.e., for every 1 equity shares held in the Target Company, the eligible shareholders
shall receive 31 equity shares of the Company, with the balance consideration, wherever applicable, being discharged
in cash.
As part of the commercial understanding, the cash component of the consideration is required to be paid immediately
and thus to facilitate the said requirement and enable timely completion of the transaction, the promoters of 5paisa
have expressed their willingness to acquire certain shares of GDPL directly from the existing shareholders of GDPL
against payment of the cash consideration, as may be decided by the Board.
In parallel, 5paisa Capital Limited (“5paisa” or “Company”) shall undertake the necessary steps for obtaining
corporate, board, shareholder, stock exchange and other applicable regulatory approvals for the proposed
preferential issue of equity shares. Upon receipt of such approvals, the shares of GDPL acquired by the promoters are
proposed to be swapped against equity shares of 5paisa, in accordance with the agreed transaction structure and
applicable laws.
