Resolution 3 seeks member approval under Section 42 of the Companies Act, 2013 for the issuance of secured or unsecured, rated or unrated, listed or unlisted, redeemable non-convertible debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis. The aggregate amount to be raised through NCD issuance shall not exceed Rs. 210,00,00,000 (Rupees Two Hundred and Ten Crores only). The approval, if granted, will be valid for a period of 1 (one) year from the date of the resolution. The specific terms including price, coupon, premium or discount, security, and tenor will be determined by the Board based on prevailing market conditions at the time of each issuance.
Material Related Party Transactions with Tata Capital Limited
Resolution 4 seeks member approval for material related party transactions with Tata Capital Limited (TCL), a Non-Banking Finance Company (NBFC) registered with the Reserve Bank of India and a subsidiary of Tata Sons Private Limited, which forms part of the promoter group of Nelco Limited. The aggregate value of proposed transactions shall not exceed Rs. 201,00,00,000 (Rupees Two Hundred and One Crore Only) during Financial Year 2026-27.

| Transaction Type: | Amount (₹ in Crore) |

*(0.84 rounded off to 1)
The term loan carries a floating rate of interest linked to TCL's long term lending rate (LTLR) plus a spread as agreed between TCL and the Company. The LTLR of TCL is currently at 8.75%. The term loan will have a tenure of 96 (Ninety-Six) months, with no principal repayment up to the 4th year from the date of first disbursement, followed by equal annual instalments up to the end of the tenure. Interest will be accrued and compounded annually up to the 4th year, after which it shall be serviced annually.

|---|---|
| Turnover | 31,539.89 |

The funds from the term loan are intended for pursuing growth opportunities in the emerging satellite communication business, including potential investment in global companies in the emerging satellite communication domain. The Audit Committee, comprising all Independent Directors, has reviewed and approved the proposed RPTs, confirming that the transactions will be conducted in the ordinary course of business and on an arm's length basis.
