Thank you Sir. The members may note that since the EGM is being held through video conferencing, pursuant to the MCA and SEBI Circulars, the facility to appoint proxies to attend and cast vote on behalf of the members is not available. Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act, and SEBI LODR, shareholders have been provided e-voting facility to enable them to cast their votes electronically.

In accordance with this, the Company has provided remote e-voting facility through the platform provided by MUFG Intime India Private Limited, to the members and also facility to vote during the meeting for members who are present in the Meeting through video conferencing and have not casted their vote by remote e-voting.

Now, I request Mr. Bibhu Prasad Kanungo, Chairperson of the Board to continue the proceedings of the meeting.

Mr. Bibhu Prasad Kanungo- Chairperson, IIFL Finance Limited:

Thank You. Notice convening the EGM of the Company has already been circulated to the Members and therefore I take the same as read.

Since the EGM is being held through video conference, and the resolutions mentioned in the Notice have already been put to vote through e-voting no proposing or seconding of resolutions is required. With this, I now proceed with the business item as per the Notice given earlier:

Special Business:

Resolution No. 1: To consider and approve Material Modification to the existing Material Related Party Transaction(s) with IIFL Home Finance Limited by passing an Ordinary Resolution.

The proposed modification to the existing Material Related Party Transaction(s) with IIFL Home Finance Limited w.r.t. increase in the limit for Direct Assignment of Loan and/or Sale of Loan. This has been

recommended with the objective of consolidating certain Loan portfolios within a single entity i.e., IIFL Home Finance Limited. This strategic realignment is expected to enhance operational and resolution efficiency through integrated management and harmonized systems, while also streamlining the administration and monitoring of such loan accounts through strengthened governance and reporting frameworks. It is further anticipated to improve collection performance by enabling coordinated recovery efforts and a unified collection infrastructure, and to reduce overlap and duplication of functions currently spread across multiple entities, thereby improving overall cost efficiency. In addition, the consolidation is expected to result in superior customer service through a centralized servicing mechanism and to establish a more robust, consolidated risk management framework for the loan segments, fostering better control, compliance, and comprehensive portfolio oversight.

Thank You.

Mr. Samrat Sanyal - Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, IIFL Finance Limited:
