A. Details of Scheme of Amalgamation
amongst Go Digit Infoworks Services
Private Limited, the Company and their
respective shareholders

The Board of Directors of the Company
(“Board”), at its meeting held on December
19, 2025 and after considering the respective
recommendations of the Audit Committee
and Independent Directors of the Company
have approved the scheme of amalgamation
amongst Go Digit Infoworks Services Private
Limited (“Transferor Company”/”GDISPL”) and
the Company and their respective shareholders
under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies
Act, 2013 as may be applicable and the rules
framed thereunder (“Scheme”).

The Scheme provides for the amalgamation
of GDISPL into and with the Company in
accordance with Sections 230 to 232 of the
Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable laws,
including Section 2(1B) and other provisions
of the Income Tax Act, 1961. In consideration
of the amalgamation, the Company shall issue
fully paid-up equity shares to the equity and
preference shareholders of GDISPL, and the
shares held by GDISPL in the Company shall
be cancelled as an integral part of the Scheme.
Upon the Scheme taking effect, GDISPL shall
stand dissolved without winding up. The
Appointed Date under the Scheme shall mean

the Effective Date, which shall be the last of the
dates on which the certified copies of the NCLT
orders sanctioning the Scheme are filed with the
Registrar of Companies, Pune by GDISPL and
the Company, and all references in Part III of the
Scheme to the Scheme becoming effective shall
be construed accordingly.

The Scheme is conditional upon receipt of
observation/no-objection letters from the Stock
Exchanges under the SEBI LODR Regulations,
2015 and the SEBI Master Scheme Circular
dated 20th June 2023, and approval by the
requisite majority of each class of creditors and
members of the Companies. It further requires
approval by the shareholders, with votes in
favour exceeding those against, and the receipt
of approvals from the Competition Commission
of India and the IRDAI under the Insurance Act,
1938. The Scheme is also subject to sanction
by the National Company Law Tribunal under
Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act,
2013. It shall become effective upon filing of the
certified copies of the Sanction Order with the
Registrar of Companies having jurisdiction over
GDISPL and the Company, unless otherwise
decided or waived by the Companies to the
extent permissible under Applicable Law.

The proposed amalgamation will, inter alia,
result in the following benefits:

(i) The amalgamation would lead to
simplification of the structure and
reduction of shareholding tiers. The holding
of shares in the Transferee Company will
enable the shareholders to contribute to
the Transferee Company’s capital infusion
needs, and growth objectives.

(ii) Simplifies the corporate structure, reducing
administrative overheads, formalities and
compliance requirements associated with
maintaining multiple companies.

(iii) The amalgamation pursuant to this
Scheme would also demonstrate the
Transferor Company’s shareholders’ direct
commitment to and engagement with the
Transferee Company.

(iv) The amalgamation will further
strengthen the Transferee Company’s
ownership structure.

(v) Eliminate the complexity of the holding
company structure, and result in a
simplified structure of holdings, which will
also be in line with the regulatory intent to

move towards leaner holding structures in
the insurance business, with fewer layers.

B. Execution of Brand License Agreement

During the year, the trademarks and brand
names “DIGIT” and “GO DIGIT”, together
with other related trademarks central to
the Company’s business and brand identity,
were assigned by Go Digit Infoworks Services
Private Limited (“the holding Company”) to
Go Digit Solutions Private Limited, a Promoter
Group entity, pursuant to a brand assignment
arrangement. Consequent to such assignment,
the existing brand licence agreement entered
into by the Company with the holding Company
was terminated, and a new brand licence
agreement was executed with Go Digit
Solutions Private Limited, as the new registered
proprietor of the trademarks.

Pursuant to the new brand licence agreement,
the Company continues to enjoy uninterrupted
and similar rights to use the “GO DIGIT” brand
and related trademarks for the purpose of
carrying on its insurance business in India, as
existed previously. The Board is satisfied that the
transition of brand ownership and the execution
of the new brand licence arrangement ensures
continuity of brand usage and does not have any
adverse impact on the Company’s operations,
business continuity, or brand positioning.
