EXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 RELATING TO THE
AFORESAID SPECIAL RESOLUTION
Background:
The proposed reduction of the equity share capital of Syngenta India Limited (the “Company”) is being undertaken in
accordance with the provisions of Section 66 of the Companies Act, 2013, (including any statutory modication(s) or re-
enactment thereof for the time being in force) and the rules made thereunder (the “Act”) and specically the National Company
Law Tribunal (Procedure for Reduction of Share Capital of Company) Rules, 2016 (“Reduction Rules”), which permit a
Company to undertake a reduction of its share capital in any manner.
In June 2007, the Company was delisted from BSE Ltd. under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Delisting of
Securities) Guidelines, 2003 pursuant to an exit offer given to the public shareholders of the Company by the promoters of the
Company.
Post delisting, Company's equity shares could not be traded on any of the stock exchanges in India. Since there is no trading
platform available to the shareholders, the shares of the Company have lost marketability. In view of this, many public
shareholders have expressed their desire to tender the equity shares they hold in the Company.
The current issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital and shareholding pattern of the Company is as under:

Particulars
Amount in Rs.

3,17,62,672 equity shares of Rs. 5/- each, fully paid up and held by the

As on October 20, 2017, out of 12373 Public Shareholders (holding, in aggregate, 3.59% of the total paid-up equity share capital
of the Company), nearly 9399 Public Shareholders currently hold less than or equal to 100 equity shares and 2792 Public
Shareholders currently hold more than 100 but less than or equal to 500 equity shares as enumerated in the table below:

*representing 3.59% of the Total Share Capital

Subject to the receipt of the requisite approval of the shareholders and conrmation by the Hon'ble National Company Law
Tribunal (“NCLT”) and such other approvals as may be required, it is proposed to reduce the issued, subscribed and paid-up
share capital of the Company from Rs. 16,47,18,540 (Rupees Sixteen Crore Forty Seven Lakh Eighteen Thousand Five
Hundred and Forty) consisting of 3,29,43,708 (Three Crore Twenty Nine Lakh Forty Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Eight)
equity shares of Rs. 5 (Rupees Five) each to Rs. 15,88,13,360 (Rupees Fifteen Crores Eighty Eight Lakh Thirteen Thousand
Three Hundred and Sixty) consisting of 3,17,62,672 (Three Crore Seventeen Lakh Sixty Two Thousand Six Hundred and
Seventy Two) equity shares of Rs. 5 (Rupees Five) each, by cancelling and extinguishing, in aggregate, 3.59% (Three point Five
Nine per cent.) of the total issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital of the Company, comprising 11,81,036 (Eleven
Lakh Eighty One Thousand and Thirty Six) equity shares of Rs. 5 (Rupees Five) each held by the Public Shareholders (“Capital
Reduction”).

The aforesaid Capital Reduction will also give an opportunity to the Public Shareholders of the Company to exit from the
Company at a fair valuation as the equity shares held by them in the Company are otherwise not marketable or tradeable since
the delisting of the shares of the Company in 2007.

6
As per Section 66 of the Act, the said resolution approving the Capital Reduction has to be passed by the members of the
Company as a Special Resolution.
Consideration:
To maintain fairness and transparency, Company engaged Price Waterhouse & Co LLP, Chartered Accountants and Haribhakti
& Co. LLP, Chartered Accountants (collectively the “Independent Valuers”) to undertake a separate valuation of the equity
shares of the Company and issue valuation reports, to assist the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) in determining
the fair value of the equity shares of the Company for the purposes of the proposed Capital Reduction. The Company also
engaged Avendus Capital Private Limited (“Avendus”), a SEBI registered merchant banker, to provide a fairness opinion on the
valuation of the equity shares of the Company so determined by the Independent Valuers.
The Audit Committee and the Board considered the valuation report issued by Price Waterhouse & Co LLP, Chartered
Accountants dated October 25, 2017 and that of by Haribhakti & Co. LLP, Chartered Accountants dated October 26, 2017, (the
“Valuation Reports”) and the fairness opinion dated October 28, 2017 issued by Avendus (the “Fairness Opinion”).
The Board has undertaken detailed deliberations in relation to the valuations determined and provided in the two Valuation
Reports (including on the valuation methodologies considered and other relevant aspects). After due consideration in relation to
the above, the Board was of the view that the higher valuation out of the two valuations mentioned in the Valuation Reports, i.e.
Rs. 2,444.70/- (Rupees Two Thousand Four Hundred Forty Four and Seventy Paisa Only) per equity share of the Company as
per the Valuation Report issued by Price Waterhouse & Co LLP, Chartered Accountants represents the fair value of the equity
shares of the Company. The Board considered and rounded off this value to Rs. 2,445/- (Rupees Two Thousand Four Hundred
Forty Five Only). The Board noted that this fair value was also afrmed by the Fairness Opinion and was recommended by the
Audit Committee as well. Therefore, the Board has proposed to reduce the equity share capital of the Company by way of
cancelling and extinguishing 11,81,036 (Eleven Lakh Eight One Thousand and Thirty Six) equity shares of the Company held by
the Public Shareholders by paying an amount of Rs. 2,445/- (Rupees Two Thousand Four Hundred Forty Five Only) per equity
share so extinguished.
Effective Date of Reduction of Equity Share Capital:
After the shareholders have passed the requisite resolution in the Extra Ordinary General Meeting, the Company will le the
requisite application with the NCLT in accordance with the provisions of Section 66 and other applicable provisions of the Act and
the Reduction Rules, seeking conrmation of the Capital Reduction. Pursuant to section 66(5) of the Companies Act, 2013, this
resolution will be effective on the date when the Registrar of Companies, Pune registers the NCLT order approving the Capital
Reduction and issues a certicate to that effect.
Payment to Public Shareholders:
The Company shall, upon the receipt of conrmation by NCLT to the capital reduction and upon the capital reduction becoming
effective and operative, deposit the whole of the consideration of Rs. 288,76,33,020/- (Rupees Two Hundred and Eighty Eight
Crores Seventy Six Lakhs Thirty Three Thousand and Twenty only) in a special bank account.
Subject to the ensuing paragraphs, the monies to be paid to the Public Shareholders in lieu of the capital reduction shall be
discharged by issue of cheque/draft/pay order/warrant/NEFT/RTGS/IMPS to the shareholders whose name appears as a
member as on the record date (as determined by the Board) (“Record Date”), within such number of days and subject to such
approvals, if any, as may be permissible under applicable law or as may be directed by the NCLT, Mumbai Bench, on the
reduction becoming effective.
In this regard, the shareholders of the Company are requested to provide to the Company / Registrar & Transfer Agent, their
bank account details (including IFSC code) along with their addresses and self-attested proofs thereof on or before March 31,
2018 failing which the monies will be paid by the Company to the last known address/bank details of the Public Shareholders of
the Company.
In case of transfer requests pending as on the Record Date, the Company shall immediately after the Record Date, dispatch to
such shareholders (“Transferor”) and to such person (“Transferee”) from whom the Company has received any
communication with respect to pending transfer of shares, a form to be duly lled in by the Transferor and the Transferee. Upon
receipt of duly lled in form, the Company shall pay the monies due to the Transferee or to the Transferor as the case may be.
Pending receipt of duly lled in form the monies to be paid-out with respect to such shares shall be dealt in a manner provided for
in the below paragraph.
Where the monies to be paid-out have not been claimed by or paid to the Public Shareholders, on account of cheques returned
and / or undelivered, cheques not deposited, consideration in respect of shares pending transfer as on the Record Date, or for
any other reason, the Company shall retain such monies in the special bank account, for a period of 7 (seven) years on behalf of
the Public Shareholders. The amount outstanding in the special bank account after the said period shall be utilized in a manner
as may be permitted under any law then in force or shall be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund as per the
applicable provisions of the Act.

7
Taxation:

As the proposed reduction would be considered as dividend within the provisions of Section 2(22)(d) of the Income-tax Act,
1961, the Company will become liable to pay Dividend Distribution Tax ('DDT') @ 20.358% in accordance with the provisions of
Section 115-O of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The Public Shareholders should consider their own tax position and pay appropriate
tax (as may be applicable) on the amount received from the Company upon reduction of equity share capital.

Payment to Non-resident Public Shareholders:

In order to be eligible to receive any payments in respect of the shares cancelled on reduction of equity share capital, non-
resident Public Shareholders will also need to provide the Company on or before March 31, 2018, a copy of the original
permission received by them from the Reserve Bank of India in relation to the acquisition of their shares (as applicable), and:

a.

or

b.
If the non-resident Public Shareholder (excluding SEBI registered FIIs) is not in a position to produce the letter referred

General:

The Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on November 1, 2017, has approved the Capital Reduction as per
the terms set out in the Resolution.

Article 8 of the Articles of Association of the Company provides for the reduction of capital of the Company in any way authorized
by the applicable law. It would be necessary to obtain the approval of the members of the Company in a General Meeting by
passing a special resolution for the Capital Reduction under Section 66 of the Act and such reduction of equity share capital
would have to be conrmed by the NCLT as provided under Section 66 of the Act and the Reduction Rules.

The Capital Reduction will not cause any prejudice to the creditors of the Company. The creditors of the Company are in no way
affected by the proposed Capital Reduction, as there is no reduction in the amount payable to any of the creditors. Further, the
proposed Capital Reduction will not have any impact on the operations of the Company or the ability of the Company to honour
its commitment or to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business.

A copy of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the Company as amended from time to time, copies of
Valuation Reports issued by the Independent Valuers (i.e. Price Waterhouse & Co LLP and Haribhakti & Co LLP) and Fairness
Opinion issued by Avendus Capital Private Limited are available for inspection at the Registered Ofce of the Company during
10.00 hours to 16.00 hours, on any working day till the date of the meeting.

The Board of Directors of the Company considers that this resolution is in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and
therefore, recommends the passing of the special resolution as set out in the Notice.

None of the Directors and / or Key Managerial Personnel of the Company or their relatives are, in any way, deemed to be
concerned or interested in the said resolution.
