Resolution 2 (Alteration of AOA): The purpose is to amend the company's Articles of Association to replace the existing specific definition of 'Promoters' (naming individuals) with a dynamic definition that aligns with the meaning prescribed under the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 (ICDR Regulations). This is intended to ensure regulatory consistency and avoid ambiguity.

- Investors: Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), foreign/domestic institutions, mutual funds, FPIs, NRIs, pension funds, etc., as permitted by law.
- Pricing: To be determined in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. For a QIP, the price cannot be less than the calculated 'Floor Price', with a possible discount of up to 5%.
- Ranking: Any equity shares issued will rank pari-passu with the existing equity shares of the company.
- Authority: The Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) is seeking broad authorization to execute this fundraising with full discretion on terms, timing, and investors, without requiring further shareholder approval.
