Proposed Resolutions and Implications
The addendum introduces one special business resolution:
9. Amendment in Articles of Association of the Company
- Purpose: To delete the reference "(as such term is defined in the Act)" from Article 119 and insert new provisions allowing Financial Institutions to appoint observers to the Board
- Key Changes:
- Expands the definition of "Financial Institution" to include "any investor, bank, funds, lending institution, lender or other similar entity, or company or person"
- Grants Financial Institutions the right to appoint observers to the Board while any money remains owing to them or they hold debentures/shares in the company
- Allows removal and replacement of such observers in accordance with transaction agreements
- Legal Basis: Section 14 and other applicable provisions of Companies Act, 2013
- Rationale: The amendment provides flexibility for corporate borrowings and investments under evolved legal and financing frameworks, enabling the company to agree to transaction agreements that may require observer appointment rights
