2. REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE AND STATE OF THE
COMPANY'S AFFAIRS:

Your Directors are delighted to report that the Company
has delivered an extraordinary performance during the
year under review, despite the severe challenges faced
by the global and domestic economy. While most sectors
and industries witnessed significant slowdowns and
widespread de-growth, your Company stood apart by
not only withstanding the impact but also demonstrating
remarkable resilience, agility, and excellence in execution.

This outstanding performance is a testament to the
strength of our business fundamentals, the relentless
focus on innovation and customer-centricity, and the
dedication of our employees across geographies. The
Company continued to reinforce its position as a leading
global engineering and technology solutions provider,
enabling customers to design, build, operate, and
maintain next-generation products and services that
meet the highest benchmarks of safety, reliability, and
sustainability.

Through intelligent engineering, advanced digital
capabilities, and deep domain expertise, your Company
has consistently created tangible value for customers,
even in a volatile environment. This ability to outperform
amidst adversity has further strengthened our
reputation as a partner of choice for global businesses
seeking to embrace digital transformation, automation,

Looking ahead, the Company remains committed to
accelerating innovation, expanding global partnerships,
and pursuing opportunities that align with our vision

6. MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS, IF ANY,
AFFECTING THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE
COMPANY:

1. Issuance of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds
(FCCBs)

In furtherance to the approval received from the
shareholders of the Company through a Postal
Ballot conducted during December 24, 2024,
to January 22, 2025, the Company initiated the
process of issuing Foreign Currency Convertible
Bonds (FCCBs) aggregating to USD 10 million.

Subsequently, the Company secured approval
for this issuance from both the Bombay Stock
Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange
(NSE) on February 20, 2025.

Further, the Board of Directors constituted and
designated the Security Issuance Committee
to oversee the issuance of FCCBs and related
activities. Following due compliance with all
regulatory requirements, the Company allotted
10,000 FCCBs with a face value of USD 1,000 each.

As of the date of issuance of this report, the
Company has converted bonds, against which it has
allotted 2,61,52,750 Equity shares of ? 1/- each.

The FCCBs carry a coupon rate of 6.5% per annum, with a tenure of 10 years and 1 month from the date of full
allotment. The "Relevant Date" for pricing the FCCBs, as per the Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and Ordinary
Shares (Through Depository Receipt Mechanism) Scheme, 1993, was May 14, 2025, and the floor price was determined
at ?106 per equity share.

The issuance of FCCBs and the related commitments represent a significant development that is expected to
strengthen the Company's financial position and support its growth initiatives.

2. Sub-Division / Split of Equity Shares

The Board of Directors at their meeting held on June 14, 2025, approved the proposal for sub-division/split of fully paid-
up equity shares of the Company from face value of ?5 each into five (5) equity shares of ?1 each, fully paid-up. This
strategic move was aimed at increasing affordability and liquidity for retail shareholders, thereby enhancing investor
participation in the Company's value creation journey.

The approval of shareholders for the aforementioned sub-division, along with the necessary alteration to the Capital
Clause (Clause V) of the Company's Memorandum of Association, was obtained through an Extraordinary General
Meeting (EGM) held on July 11, 2025. Pursuant to shareholder approval and in compliance with Section 13, Section
61(1)(d), and Section 64 of the Companies Act, 2013, necessary filings were made with the Registrar of Companies.

The record date for the same was fixed as July 25, 2025

This change was formally incorporated into Clause V of the Memorandum of Association, as detailed below:

Existing Clause V: ?60,00,00,000 divided into 12,00,00,000 equity shares of ?5 each

Revised Clause V (Post-Split): ?60,00,00,000 divided into 60,00,00,000 equity shares of ?1 each.

Effect of the Share Split on Existing Commitments

The Board ensured that adjustments—aligned with all applicable regulatory frameworks—were made to outstanding
convertible instruments and employee incentive commitments, including:

• Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs)

• Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs)

• Warrants (subject to shareholder approval)

Such adjustments were critical to preserve the economic interests and entitlements of existing holders post-split, and
may remain pending until the record date of the split.

Impact and Rationale

As a result of the sub-division/split of equity shares, Kellton's equity has become more affordable, positively impacting
retail shareholders by providing broader opportunities for ownership and participation in the Company's future growth.
The process followed all statutory requirements and best practices, ensuring a smooth transition while safeguarding
existing shareholder and stakeholder interests

3. Allotment of Warrants

The Company also approved raising funds through the preferential issue and allotment of up to 55,00,000 convertible
warrants, priced at ?126 each (including a premium of ?121), aggregating to ?69.3 crores. The convertible warrants,
issuable to select promoter and non-promoter investors, are each convertible into one equity share of face value ?5,
exercisable in one or more tranches within 18 months from allotment.

The Shareholders approved these proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on July 11, 2025.
Following the EGM, the Company obtained in-principle approvals from the stock exchanges for the allotment of
warrants.

As on the date of this report, the Company has initiated the process of allotment in compliance with all regulatory
requirements and continues to work closely with relevant authorities.
