Purchase of under construction water park based at Indore owned by Malpani Parks Indore Private Limited

On February 08, 2024, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company and on March 18, 2024, the Members of the Company had approved the acquisition of under construction water park at Indore from Malpani Parks Indore Private Limited ("MPIPL"), a related party for an aggregate consideration not exceeding ' 1,40,00,00,000/- and leasehold rights on rental basis in the land parcels pertaining to Indore Park Project of an area admeasuring approximately 18 acres situated at Village Paliya Haidar, off Indore - Ujjain Road, located at Indore in Madhya Pradesh ("Indore Park Project Land Parcels") against payment of annual lease rentals of an amount of ' 3,80,00,000/- (Rupees Three Crores Eighty Lakhs Only) and interest free security deposit to be kept with MPIPL of an amount of ' 1,00,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore Only) ("Earlier Transaction").

The above Earlier Transaction, initially set for completion in either FY 2023-24 or FY 2024-25, and the documentation was not concluded. Subsequently, few additional points of consideration have emerged i.e.: 1) The land lease tenure was previously approved as "up to 15 years". However, discussion with government authorities indicated a minimum 30 year land lease period for consideration under Tourism policy, which would make transaction costs unviable for registration

of such long lease. 2) Initial approvals stand in name of MPIPL and transfer of the same to the Company would be practically challenging.

Therefore, it was proposed to acquire the project entity itself which owns all the land viz., MPIPL vide 100% purchase of the equity from existing shareholders of MPIPL against payment of consideration of an aggregate sum of ' 55,00,00,000/- (Rupees Fifty Five Crore Only) as of the completion/closing date as per the definitive agreements/ Share Purchase Agreement and the same was approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company at their respective meetings held on June 25, 2024 which is subject to the shareholders' approval, being material related party transaction, sought through postal ballot notice dated June 25, 2024. Post completion of this transaction MPIPL shall become Wholly Owned Subsidiary ("WOS") of the Company. Subsequent to the aforementioned transaction, the Company would inject funds into MPIPL (WOS) through intercorporate deposit, loan, or debt, and potentially through other instruments or mechanisms as determined by the Board. These funds, not exceeding ' 153,00,00,000/- (Rupees One Hundred and Fifty Three Crore Only), are intended to be utilized for various purposes, including the repayment of unsecured loans, creditors, and liabilities of MPIPL. Thus the total revised project cost of Indore Park Project i.e. acquisition of MPIPL equity shares along with its assets and liabilities from the shareholders of MPIPL shall not exceed ' 208,00,00,000/- (Rupees Two Hundred and Eight Crore Only). ("Revised Proposed Transaction")

As on date of this Report, the Shareholders' approval is awaited for the aforesaid transaction and the result of the approval of Shareholders shall be declared on July 31, 2024. Post approval of Shareholders the parties to the transaction would enter into the definitive agreement as the Board may deem fit and appropriate in the interests of the Company. Sabarmati Riverfront
