Holdco, Inc. and Encora Holdings Ltd. (Cayman) (collectively, the
"Target Companies"), Encora Holdco Ltd. (UK) and AI Altius Parent (Cayman)
Limited (collectively, the "Investors") in relation to the acquisition of the

("Proposed Acquisition"). In terms of the SSPA, up to 9,37,96,508 (Nine Crore
Thirty Seven
Lakh Ninety Six Thousand Five Hundred and Eight) fully paid-up equity
shares of the Company having face value of INR 2 each ("Equity Shares") are
proposed to be created, issued, offered and allotted to the Investors at an issue price of
INR 1,815.91 per Equity Share (including a premium of INR 1,813.91 per Equity Share),
aggregating up to a consideration of INR 1,70,32,60,16,842, in accordance with the terms
of the SSPA.
The shareholders of the Company approved the aforesaid transaction,
including issuance of equity shares on a preferential basis pursuant to the share swap
arrangement, by way of postal ballot concluded on January 25, 2026.
The transaction was subject to receipt of requisite regulatory
approvals across multiple jurisdictions. During the year, the
Company obtained key approvals, including clearance under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act in the United States, competition approvals
in relevant jurisdictions including Australia, and approval from the Reserve Bank of India
for overseas direct investment exceeding USD 1 billion under the
Foreign Exchange Management (Overseas Investment) Rules.
Subsequently, on April 10, 2026, the Company received in-principle
approvals from the stock exchanges for the preferential issue.
Pursuant thereto, the Company allotted 9,37,96,508 Equity Shares of
face value INR 2 each at an issue price of INR 1,815.91 per Equity Share on April 23, 2026
in accordance with the terms of the SSPA. The Preferential Issue was carried out in

thereunder, Chapter V of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and
Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2018, the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt
Instrument) Rules, 2019, and other applicable laws.
The Company filed an application with the stock exchanges on April 24,
2026 seeking listing approval for the said Equity Shares and subsequently received such
approval. The Company has completed the allotment and is undertaking the necessary
post-closing and regulatory compliances in accordance with applicable laws.
Approval for grant of special rights and covenants pursuant to the SSPA
The Board of Directors approved the revised proposal under the Share
Subscription and Share Purchase Agreement ("SSPA"), as amended, for the grant of
certain special rights and covenants to the investors, namely Encora Holdco Ltd. (UK) and
AI Altius Parent (Cayman) Limited ("Investors"). In this regard, the Company,
together with Encora US Holdco, Inc. and Encora Holdings Ltd. (collectively, the
"Target Companies"), entered into an amendment agreement dated January 28, 2026
to the SSPA executed on December 26, 2025 to record revised terms, relating to the
fall-away thresholds for the Investors' right to nominate directors on the Board. The
revised proposal was subsequently approved by the shareholders of the Company on February
27, 2026.
Under the amended terms, the Investors are entitled to nominate upto
two nominee directors on the Board, subject to prescribed shareholding thresholds. The
right to appoint two nominee directors shall continue so long as the aggregate
shareholding of the Investors remains above 15% of the share capital of the
Company, shall reduce to one nominee director if such shareholding
falls below 15%, and shall cease entirely if such shareholding falls below 10%. The right
to appoint nominee directors on Board committees has been removed, and no amendments to
the Articles of Association of the Company are proposed in respect of such rights as may
be required approved ancillary actions. Subsequent to the financial year end, upon
completion of Encora acquisition on April 23, 2026, the Company did not proceed with the
QIP and instead secured a USD 550 million three-year term loan facility at a fixed
interest rate of 4.6% per annum from a consortium of international lenders to retire the
debt in Encora. The shareholder resolution authorising the QIP remains valid but the
Company does not currently intend to utilize it.
In the opinion of the Board, the aforesaid approval is in the best
interest of the Company and its stakeholders.

Capital Clause of the Memorandum of Association

court-convened meetings of the equity shareholders, secured creditors and unsecured
creditors of the Company were held on December

Scheme was approved by the requisite majority.
Thereafter, the Hon'ble NCLT, Chandigarh Bench, by its order dated
April 29, 2026, approved the Scheme. The certified copy of the order
has been filed with the Registrar of Companies, Haryana, and all conditions specified

efficiency and eliminate redundancies, including duplicate workstreams and administrative
overheads. This reduction in operating costs, enabling seamless access to assets and
strengthening cash flow management, thereby supporting the sustained growth and
development of the combined business. The scheme also facilitated market expansion,
created cross-selling opportunities and drove operational efficiencies through

through the pooling of technological resources and talent, while enabling more efficient
management of the combined entity's operations. The Scheme ensured that the rights
and interests of employees and shareholders of both Coforge and Cigniti remain unaffected
and aligns with the objective of creating long-term value for stakeholders.

Details in respect of adequacy of internal controls and internal and
statutory audits
Internal audit / Statutory audit and secretarial audit
The Board and the Audit Committee regard the observations and
recommendations of the auditors as an important independent validation of information
received from management regarding the Company's operations and performance. The
Board and the Audit Committee periodically review the findings and recommendations of the
statutory and internal auditors and recommend corrective actions, wherever necessary.
The Company monitors and evaluates the effectiveness and adequacy of
its internal control systems, including compliance with operating processes, accounting
procedures and Company policies, based on audit findings. It has established both external
and internal audit mechanisms, and the auditors are provided access to all relevant
records and information. Based on the reports of the Internal Auditor, process owners
undertake corrective actions in their respective areas, if any, thereby strengthening the
control environment. The internal control framework is designed to support operational
effectiveness and efficiency, assets, ensure reliable financial and non-financial
reporting, secure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The clearly defined policies and procedures, process automation,
employee training and development, and an organisational structure that separates
responsibilities help in maintaining integrity and reliability within the internal control
systems of the company.
The Company has appointed an external firm as its Internal
Auditor. The Internal Auditor operates independently and is responsible
for assessing and enhancing the effectiveness of risk management, controls and governance
processes. The Internal Auditor provides risk-based advice and insights aimed at
supporting organisational value creation. Annual audit plans are developed based on risk
assessments, and comprehensive reviews are undertaken covering financial, operational and
compliance controls. Where specialised knowledge is required, external experts are
consulted or professionals with the relevant skills are engaged. Process improvements
identified during reviews are communicated to management on a regular basis. The Audit
Committee of the Board monitors the performance of the Internal
Auditor through periodic review of audit plans, findings and the status
of issue resolution. The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year to review
internal audit findings. Separate review meetings of the Audit Committee Chairperson with
the internal and statutory auditors are also held before quarterly meetings to enhance
transparency and governance. In addition, the Audit Committee meets the Statutory Auditors
during the year without the presence of management. Independent Directors also meet
periodically without management to discuss important governance matters, and their
recommendations are acted upon as part of the Company's governance practices.
Statutory audit
Each financial year, the statutory and independent auditors confirm
their independence and compliance with the relevant ethical standards. Based on the
procedures performed, no risks or circumstances have been identified that could compromise
their independence as auditors of the Company under the applicable Indian regulations.
The statutory and independent auditors examine whether the
Company's financial statements present a true and fair view of its
financial position and performance. They conduct the audit in accordance with the
applicable standards, review internal controls as considered necessary, and share their
observations with management. These observations are discussed at the Audit Committee
meetings, where the auditors' recommendations, if any, are considered and appropriate
actions are tracked and reported in subsequent meetings.
Similarly, secretarial audit forms an integral part of these audits.
All the required information is supplied to the auditors within the stipulated time frame,
with regular review meetings, and the quarterly reports are presented to the Audit
committee for its noting.
