** Effective as of the record date of October 28, 2024, the Company implemented a sub-division/ stock split of each equity share having a face value of Rupees Five each, fully paid-up, into five equity shares having a face value of Rupees One each, fully paid-up (the “stock split”), by alteration of the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Company. Each American Depositary Share (“ADS”) of the Company continued to represent one underlying equity share and, therefore, the number of ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) holder consequently increased in proportion to the increase in number of equity shares.
