Draft Letter of Offer

On September 11, 2015, the Board of Directors passed a resolution to buyback Equity Shares
of the Company and sought approval of Shareholders, as a special resolution, through the
postal ballot notice dated September 11, 2015 (read with the corrigendum dated October 6,
2015). The results of the postal ballot were announced on November 5, 2015, which is the
date when the special resolution is deemed to have been passed by the Shareholders.
Further, the Buyback Committee has also, at its meeting held on September 16, 2015,
October 27, 2015, November 6, 2015 and November 17, 2015, passed various resolutions
relating to the Buyback.

8. NECESSITY OF THE BUYBACK

Share buyback is the acquisition by a company of its own equity shares. The objective is to
return surplus cash to the Members holding Equity Shares of the Company. The Board at its
meeting held on September 11, 2015, considered the accumulated free reserves as well as
the cash liquidity reflected in the audited accounts for the financial year ending March 31,
2015 and considering these, the Board decided to allocate a sum of ` 174,00,00,000
(Rupees One Hundred and Seventy Four Crores only) for distributing to the Equity
Shareholders through the Buyback.

After considering several factors and benefits to the Equity Shareholders, the Board decided
to recommend Buyback of not exceeding 6,96,000 (Six Lakhs and Ninety Six Thousand)
equity shares (representing 23.15% of the total number of equity shares in the present paid-
up equity share capital of the Company) at a price of ` 2,500 (Rupees Two Thousand Five
Hundred only) per equity share for an aggregate consideration of ` 174,00,00,000 (Rupees
One Hundred and Seventy Four Crores only). Buyback is a more efficient form of distributing
surplus cash to the Members holding Equity Shares of the Company, inter-alia, for the
following reasons:

i. The Buyback will help the Company to distribute surplus cash to its Equity Shareholders
broadly in proportion to their shareholding, thereby, enhancing the overall return to Members;
ii. The Buyback, which is being implemented through the Tender Offer route as prescribed
under the Buyback Regulations, would involve allocation of 15% of the outlay to Small
Shareholders. The Company believes that this reservation of 15% for Small Shareholders
would benefit a large number of public Shareholders, who would get classified as “Small
Shareholder”;
iii. The Buyback would help in improving return on equity, by reduction in the equity base,
thereby leading to long term increase in Shareholders’ value; and
iv. The Buyback gives an option to the Equity Shareholders, who can choose to participate and
get cash in lieu of Equity Shares accepted under the Buyback Offer or they may choose not to
participate and enjoy a resultant increase in their percentage shareholding, post the Buyback
Offer, without additional investment.

9. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE LIKELY IMPACT OF BUYBACK


ON THE COMPANY

9.1. The Buyback is not likely to cause any material impact on the profitability / earnings of the
Company except a reduction in the investment income, which the Company could have
otherwise earned on the amount distributed towards Buyback. Assuming there is full
response to the Buyback, the funds deployed by the Company towards the Buyback would be
` 174,00,00,000 (Rupees One Hundred and Seventy Four Crores only). This shall impact the
investment income earned by the Company, on account of reduced amount of funds available
for investments.

9.2. The Buyback will not in any manner impair the ability of the Company to pursue
growth opportunities or meet its cash requirements for business operations.

9.3. Gujarat Fusion Glass LLP, one of the promoter group entities, has expressed its intention,
vide its letter dated September 11, 2015, to participate in the Buyback and offer upto an
aggregate maximum of 14,28,956 Equity Shares or such lower number of Equity Shares as
required in compliance with the Buyback Regulations / terms of the Buyback.

Draft Letter of Offer

19.4. Record Date, ratio of Buyback and entitlement of each Shareholder

a) The Buyback Committee in its meeting held on November 5, 2015 announced Friday,
November 27, 2015 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 Offer.

b) The Equity Shares proposed to be bought back by the Company shall be divided in two
categories:

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


• General category for all Shareholders other than Small Shareholders (“General
Category”)

c) As defined in the Buyback Regulations, a “Small Shareholder” is a Shareholder who holds


Equity Shares having market value, on the basis of closing price on BSE as on Record Date,
of not more than ` 2,00,000 (Rupees Two Lacs). 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.


d) 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 Offer.

e) 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 6,96,000 Equity Shares which works out to 1,04,400 Equity
Shares; or

● ● ● ●
ii. The number of Equity Shares entitled as per their shareholding as on Record Date
[i.e. ([ ] /[ ]) X [ ]] which works out to [ ] Equity Shares.

All the outstanding Equity Shares have been used for computing the entitlement of Small
Shareholders since the Promoters Group also intends to offer Equity Shares held by them in
the Buyback.

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

19.5. Fractional Entitlements

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 Offer, for both categories of Shareholders.

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. Such Small Shareholders are entitled to tender additional Equity Shares as part

- 26 -
Draft Letter of Offer

of the Buyback Offer and will be given preference in the Acceptance of one Equity Share, if
such Small Shareholders have tendered for additional Equity Shares.

19.6. Basis of Acceptance of Equity Shares validly tendered in the Reserved Category

Subject to the provisions contained in this Letter of Offer, the Company will accept the Shares
tendered in the Buyback Offer by the Small Shareholders in the Reserved Category in the
following order of priority:

a) Full acceptance of Shares from Small Shareholders in the Reserved Category who have
validly tendered their Shares, to the extent of their Buyback Entitlement, or the number of
Shares tendered by them, whichever is less.

b) Post the acceptance as described in paragraph 19.6 (a), in case, there are any Shares left to
be bought back in the Reserved Category, the Small Shareholders who were entitled to
tender zero Shares (on account of ignoring the fractional entitlement), and have tendered
Additional Shares, shall be given preference and one Equity Share each from the Additional
Shares tendered by these Small Shareholders shall be bought back in the Reserved
Category.

c) Post the acceptance as described in paragraph 19.6 (a) and (b), in case, there are any validly
tendered unaccepted Shares in the Reserved Category (“Reserved Category Additional
Shares”) and Shares left to be bought back in Reserved Category, the Reserved Category
Additional Shares shall be accepted in a proportionate manner and the acceptances shall be
made in accordance with the Buyback Regulations, i.e. valid acceptances per Shareholder
shall be equal to the Reserved Category Additional Shares tendered by the Shareholder
divided by the total Reserved Category Additional Shares and multiplied by the total number
of Shares remaining to be bought back in Reserved Category. For the purpose of this
calculation, the Reserved Category Additional Shares taken into account for such Small
Shareholders, from whom one Equity Share has been accepted in accordance with paragraph
19.6 (b), shall be reduced by one.

d) Adjustment for fractional results in case of proportionate acceptance, as described in


paragraph 19.6 (c), will be made as follows:

 For any Shareholder, if the number of Additional Shares to be accepted, calculated on a


proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 and the fractional acceptance is greater than
or equal to 0.50, then the fraction would be rounded off to the next higher integer.
 For any Shareholder, if the number of Additional Shares to be accepted, calculated on a
proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 and the fractional acceptance is less than
0.50, then the fraction shall be ignored.

19.7. Basis of Acceptance of Equity Shares validly tendered in the General Category

Subject to the provisions contained in this Letter of Offer, the Company will accept the Shares
tendered in the Buyback Offer by Shareholders (other than Small Shareholders) in the
General Category in the following order of priority:

a) Full Acceptance of Shares from Shareholders in the General Category who have validly
tendered their Shares, to the extent of their Buyback Entitlement, or the number of Shares
tendered by them, whichever is less.

b) Post the acceptance as described in paragraph 19.7 (a), in case, there are any validly
tendered unaccepted Shares in the General Category (“General Category Additional
Shares”) and Shares left to be bought back in General Category, the General Category
Additional Shares shall be accepted in a proportionate manner and the acceptances shall be
made in accordance with the Buyback Regulations, i.e. valid acceptances per Shareholder
shall be equal to the General Category Additional Shares tendered by the Shareholder
divided by the total General Category Additional Shares and multiplied by the total number of
Shares remaining to be bought back in General Category.

c) Adjustment for fractional results in case of proportionate acceptance, as described in

 For any Shareholder, if the number of Additional Shares to be accepted, calculated on a

or equal to 0.50, then the fraction would be rounded off to the next higher integer.
 For any Shareholder, if the number of Additional Shares to be accepted, calculated on a
proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 and the fractional acceptance is less than
0.50, then the fraction shall be ignored.

19.8. Basis of Acceptance of Equity Shares between the two categories

a) After acceptances of tenders, as mentioned in paragraph 19.6 and 19.7, in case, there are
any Shares left to be bought back in one category (“Partially Filled Category”) and there are
additional unaccepted validly tendered Shares (“Further Additional Shares”) in the second
category (“Over Tendered Category”), then the Further Additional Shares in the Over
Tendered Category shall be accepted in a proportionate manner i.e. valid acceptances per
Shareholder shall be equal to Further Additional Shares validly tendered by the Shareholder
in the Over Tendered Category divided by the total Further Additional Shares in the Over
Tendered Category and multiplied by the total Shares left to be bought back in the Partially
Filled Category.

b) If the Partially Filled Category is the General Category and the Over Tendered Category is the
Reserved Category, then any Small Shareholder who has received a Tender Form with zero
Buyback Entitlement and who has tendered Additional Shares shall be eligible for priority
acceptance of one Equity Share before acceptance in paragraph 19.8(a) out of the Shares left
to be bought back in the Partially Filled Category provided no acceptance could take place
from such Shareholder in accordance with paragraph 19.6.

c) Adjustment for fraction results in case of proportionate acceptance, as defined in


paragraph19.8 (a):

 For any Shareholder, if the number of Further Additional Shares to be accepted,


calculated on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 and the fractional
acceptance is greater than or equal to 0.50, then the fraction would be rounded off to the
next higher integer.
 For any Shareholder, if the number of Further Additional Shares to be accepted,
calculated on a proportionate basis is not in the multiple of 1 and the fractional
acceptance is less than 0.50, then the fraction shall be ignored.

19.9. For avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that, in accordance with the clauses above:

 Shares accepted under the Buyback from each Eligible Person, shall be lower of
the following:
o the number of Shares tendered by the respective Shareholder and
