ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A. Share Capital

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

The information set forth in our Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-224661), as amended, originally filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021 and declared effective by the SEC on July 12, 2021, under the headings “Description of Share Capital” is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company has adopted the Seventh Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association through Special Resolution passed by the Shareholders of the Company at the 2022 annual general meeting, attached Annual General Meeting of the Company held on August 24, 2022, enclosed as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

C. Material Contracts

Described herein.

D. Exchange Controls

India

India regulates ownership of Indian companies by foreign entities. Foreign investment in securities issued by Indian companies and exchange controls are generally regulated by FEMA. Transfers of any security of an Indian company from foreigners/ foreign entities to Indian residents and vice versa are required to be in accordance with FEMA and in some instances is required to be permitted by the Reserve Bank of India beside general reporting requirements under the FEMA. These regulations and restrictions may apply to acquisitions by us or our affiliates, including Yatra India and affiliates which are not residents of India, of shares in Indian companies or the provision of funding by us or any other entity to Indian companies within our group. For example, under its consolidated foreign direct investment policy, the Government of India has set out additional requirements for foreign investments in India, including requirements with respect to downstream investments by Indian companies having foreign investment, and the transfer of ownership or control of Indian companies in sectors with caps on foreign investment from resident Indian persons or entities to foreigners, as well as such transaction between foreign entities. Further, FEMA, restricts and regulate the lending to or borrowing from our Indian Subsidiaries. These requirements currently include restrictions/ regulations with respect to on valuations and sources of funding for such investments and may require prior approval from the Government of India.

Further, the Government of India has in the past made and may continue to make revisions to the FDI Policy on e-commerce in India (including in relation to business model and permitted services). Such changes may require us to make changes to our business in order to comply with Indian law.

Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders may depend on, among other things, the availability of dividends from Yatra India. As of the date of this Annual Report, Yatra India has not paid any cash dividends on its Equity Shares. Dividends other than in cash are not permitted under Indian law. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future will be recommended by the board of directors of Yatra India and approved by the shareholders of Yatra India at their discretion and would depend on a number of factors, including its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and surplus, contractual obligations, applicable Indian legal restrictions, the provisions of its articles of association, the terms of its credit facilities and other financing arrangements at the time a dividend is considered and other factors considered relevant by Yatra India’s board of directors. Yatra India may also from time to time pay interim dividends.

Under Indian law, a company declares dividends upon a recommendation by its board of directors and approval by a majority of the shareholders at the annual general meeting of shareholders held within six months of the end of each fiscal year. However, while final dividends can be paid out by a company only after such dividends have been recommended by the board of directors and approved by shareholders, interim dividends can be paid out with only a recommendation by the board of directors. The shareholders have the right to decrease but not to increase any dividend amount recommended by its board of directors. Under Indian law, shares of a company belonging to the same class must receive equal dividend treatment.

Yatra India may, before the declaration of any dividend in any fiscal year, transfer such percentage of its profits for that fiscal year as it may consider appropriate to the reserves of Yatra India.

Under Indian law, an Indian company is permitted to declare or pay dividends for any fiscal year out of profits for that year (calculated to include any dividend distribution tax) after providing for depreciation in the manner prescribed. However, no company is permitted to declare dividends unless previous years’ carried over losses and depreciation not provided in the previous year or years are setoff against profits of the company for the current year.

If profits for a particular year are insufficient to declare dividends (including interim dividends), the dividends for that year may be declared and paid out from accumulated profits if the following conditions are fulfilled:

the rate of dividend to be declared shall not exceed the average of the rates at which dividends were declared in the three years immediately preceding that year (except where no dividends have been declared in each of the preceding three years);

the total amount to be drawn from the accumulated profits earned in previous years shall not exceed an amount equal to one-tenth of the sum of the company’s paid-up share capital and free reserves (based on the latest audited financial statements available), and the amount so drawn shall first be utilized to set off the losses incurred in the fiscal year in which dividend is declared before any dividend in respect of equity shares is declared; and;

the balance of the reserves after such withdrawal shall not fall below 15.0% of the company’s paid-up share capital (based on the latest audited financial statements available).

E. Taxation

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (each as defined below). This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, the U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (whether final, temporary or proposed), administrative rulings of the IRS, judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein. This discussion is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to holders as a result of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders, nor does it take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder. Accordingly, it is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. This discussion does not address any aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under any U.S. state and local, or non-U.S., tax laws. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding such tax consequences in light of their particular circumstances. No ruling has been requested or will be obtained from the IRS regarding the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following discussion and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the U.S. federal income tax treatment described below or that, if challenged, such treatment will be sustained by a court.

This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders that hold our Ordinary Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances, including holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. tax laws, such as, for example:

●banks, thrifts, mutual funds or other financial institutions, underwriters, or insurance companies;
●dealers or traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting;
●real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;
●tax-exempt organizations, governmental organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts;
●expatriates or former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
●partnerships or other pass-through entities (or arrangements treated as such) or investors therein;
●dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;
●grantor trusts;
●persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;
●U.S. persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar;
●persons who received our Ordinary Shares through the exercise of incentive stock options or through the issuance of restricted stock under an equity incentive plan or through a tax-qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;
●persons who own (directly or through attribution) 10% or more (by vote or value) of our outstanding Ordinary Shares;
●persons who are subject to the accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code;
●the initial stockholders and their affiliates; or
●holders holding our Ordinary Shares as a position in a “straddle,” as part of a “synthetic security” or “hedge,” as part of a “conversion transaction,” or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

●an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
●a corporation (or other entity that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
●an estate of which the income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
●a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares.

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF YATRA ORDINARY SHARES. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF YATRA ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

Tax Residence of Yatra and Utilization of Terrapin Acquisition Corp.’s Tax Attributes

Tax Residence of Yatra for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

A corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Accordingly, under the generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, Yatra Online, which is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, would be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception to this general rule (more fully discussed below), under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These rules are complex and there is limited guidance regarding their application.

Under Section 7874 of the Code, a corporation created or organized outside the United States (i.e., a non-U.S. corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, therefore, as a U.S. tax resident generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income) if each of the following three conditions are met: (i) the non-U.S. corporation, directly or indirectly, acquires substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including through the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation); (ii) the non-U.S. corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” does not have “substantial business activities” in the non-U.S. corporation’s country of organization or incorporation and tax residence relative to the expanded affiliated group’s worldwide activities; and (iii) after the acquisition, the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the non-U.S. acquiring corporation by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (taking into account the receipt of the non-U.S. corporation’s shares in exchange for the U.S. corporation’s shares) as determined for purposes of Section 7874 (this test is referred to as the “80% ownership test”).

For purposes of Section 7874 of the Code, the first two conditions described above were met with respect to the mergers completed in July 2016 with Terrapin Acquisition Corp., because we acquired indirectly all of the assets of Terrapin Acquisition Corp. through the mergers with Terrapin Acquisition Corp., and Yatra Online, including its “expanded affiliated group,” did not have “substantial business activities” in the Cayman Islands within the meaning of Section 7874 of the Code upon consummation of the mergers with Terrapin Acquisition Corp. As a result, whether Section 7874 of the Code applies to cause us to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the mergers with Terrapin Acquisition Corp. should depend on the satisfaction of the 80% ownership test.

Based on the terms of the mergers with Terrapin Acquisition Corp., the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and based upon certain factual assumptions, we believe that the Section 7874 of the Code ownership percentage of the former Terrapin Acquisition Corp. stockholders in our company should be less than 80% and accordingly we are not expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Further, for purposes of determining the ownership percentage of former Terrapin Acquisition Corp. stockholders for purposes of Section 7874 of the Code, former Terrapin Acquisition Corp. stockholders were deemed to own an amount of our Ordinary Shares in respect to certain redemptions by Terrapin Acquisition Corp. prior to the closing of the mergers with Terrapin Acquisition Corp. In addition, as discussed above, the rules for determining ownership under Section 7874 of the Code are complex, unclear and the subject of ongoing regulatory change. Many of these rules are contained in the Treasury regulations under Section 7874, and there is limited guidance as to their application. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert that the 80% ownership test was met with respect to the mergers with Terrapin Acquisition Corp. and that, accordingly, we should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that such an assertion would not be sustained by a court.

There has been discussion of additional changes to Section 7874 of the Code. Any changes to the rules of Section 7874 of the Code or the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, or other changes of law, which could be made retroactively effective, could adversely affect our status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If we were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could be subject to substantial liability for additional U.S. income taxes, and the gross amount of any dividend payments to our non-U.S. shareholders could be subject to 30% U.S. withholding tax, depending on the application of any income tax treaty that might apply to reduce the withholding tax.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that we are not treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares of Yatra

U.S. Holders

Distributions on our Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “-Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” the gross amount of any distribution on our Ordinary Shares that is made out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received. Any such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such excess amount will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in our Ordinary Shares, and thereafter as capital gain recognized on a sale exchange or other taxable disposition.

Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) from a “qualified foreign corporation” may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation, provided that certain holding period requirements and other conditions are satisfied. A non-U.S. corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends it pays on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that shares listed on the Nasdaq (where our Ordinary Shares are currently listed) will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in future years. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to the positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. We will not constitute a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of these rules if we are a PFIC for the taxable year in which we pay a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. See “-Passive Foreign Investment Company Status*.*”

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, withholding taxes, if any, on dividends paid by us may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. For purposes of calculating the U.S. foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our Ordinary Shares will generally be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “-Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of our Ordinary Shares generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period in such shares exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of our Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

It is possible that India may impose an income tax upon sale of our Ordinary Shares. Because gains generally will be treated as U.S. source gain, as a result of the U.S. foreign tax credit limitation, any Indian income tax imposed upon capital gains in respect of our Ordinary Shares may not be currently creditable unless a U.S. holder has other foreign source income for the year in the appropriate U.S. foreign tax credit limitation basket. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of Indian taxes to a disposition of our Ordinary Shares and their ability to credit an Indian tax against their U.S. federal income tax liability.

Characterization as a “Controlled Foreign Corporation” for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

There is a possibility that we will be classified as a “controlled foreign corporation,” or CFC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We will generally be classified as a CFC if more than 50% of our outstanding shares, measured by reference to voting power or value, are owned (directly, indirectly or by attribution) by “10% U.S. Shareholders.” For this purpose, a “10% U.S. Shareholder” is any U.S. person that owns directly, indirectly or by attribution, 10% or more of the voting power or value of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. The attribution rules relating to the determination of CFC status are complex and may make it difficult to determine our CFC status for any taxable year. If we were to be classified as a CFC, a 10% U.S. Shareholder may be subject to U.S. federal income taxation at ordinary income tax rates on all or a portion of our undistributed earnings and profits attributable even if the CFC has made no distributions to its shareholders, including “Subpart F income,” global intangible low-taxed income and certain other income generated by the CFC, and may also be subject to U.S. federal income taxation at ordinary income tax rates on any gain realized on a sale of our Ordinary Shares, to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of our Company attributable to such shares. The CFC rules are complex and U.S. holders that are, or may be, 10% U.S. Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the CFC rules to them in their particular circumstances. It is not expected that we will be classified as a CFC, and the remainder of this discussion assumes that we will not be classified as a CFC for U.S. federal income tax purposes but no assurances can be offered in this regard.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

The treatment of U.S. holders of our Ordinary Shares could be materially different from that described above, if we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A non-U.S. corporation, such as Yatra Online, will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after the application of certain look-through rules either: (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income, or (ii) 50% or more of the total value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is based upon the composition of our income and assets, (including, among others, corporations in which we own at least a 25% interest), and the nature of our activities.

Based on the current and anticipated value of our assets and the nature and composition of our income and assets, including goodwill, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for this taxable year ending March 31, 2025, and we do not expect that we will become a PFIC in the current taxable year or in the foreseeable future; however, no assurances can be offered in this regard. The tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually after the close of the taxable year, and it is difficult to predict accurately future income and assets relevant to this determination. The fair market value of the assets of our Company is expected to depend, in part, upon (a) the market value of our Ordinary Shares, and (b) the composition of our assets and income. A decrease in the market value of our Ordinary Shares and/or an increase in cash or other passive assets would increase the relative percentage of its passive assets. The application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects and, therefore, the IRS may assert that, contrary to expectations, we are a PFIC for this taxable year or in a future year. Accordingly, there can no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for this taxable year or any future taxable year.

If we are or become a PFIC during any year in which a U.S. holder holds our Ordinary Shares, unless the U.S. holder makes a qualified electing fund (QEF) election or mark-to-market election with respect to the shares, as described below, a U.S. holder generally would be subject to additional taxes (including taxation at ordinary income rates and an interest charge) on any gain realized from a sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares and on any “excess distributions” received from us, regardless of whether we qualify as a PFIC in the year in which such distribution is received or gain is realized. For this purpose, a pledge of our Ordinary Shares as security for a loan may be treated as a disposition. The U.S. holder would be treated as receiving an excess distribution in a taxable year to the extent that distributions on the shares during that year exceed 125% of the average amount of distributions received during the three preceding taxable years (or, if shorter, the U.S. holder’s holding period). To compute the tax on excess distributions or on any gain, (i) the excess distribution or gain recognized by the U.S. holder on a sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period, (ii) the amount allocated to the taxable year of receipt of the distribution or of the sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares and any year before the first taxable year for which we were a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income, and (iii) the amount allocated to other taxable years would be taxed at the highest applicable marginal rate in effect for each such year (i.e., at ordinary income tax rates) and an interest charge would be imposed to recover the deemed benefit from the deferred payment of the tax attributable to each such prior year.

If we were to be treated as a PFIC, a U.S. holder may avoid the excess distribution rules described above by electing to treat our Company (for the first taxable year in which the U.S. holder owns any shares) and any of our direct or indirect subsidiaries that is also a PFIC, or lower-tier PFIC (for the first taxable year in which the U.S. holder is treated as owning an equity interest in such lower-tier PFIC) as a QEF. If a U.S. holder makes an effective QEF election with respect to our Company (and any lower-tier PFIC), the U.S. holder will be required to include in gross income each year, whether or not we make distributions, as capital gains, our pro rata share’s (and such lower-tier PFIC’s) net capital gains and, as ordinary income, our pro rata share’s (and such lower-tier PFIC’s) net earnings in excess of its net capital gains. U.S. holders can make a QEF election only if we (and each lower-tier PFIC) provide certain information, including the amount of its ordinary earnings and net capital gains determined under U.S. tax principles. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide U.S. holders with this information if we determine that we are a PFIC.

As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. holder may also be able to avoid some of the adverse U.S. tax consequences of PFIC status by making an election to mark the Ordinary Shares to market annually. A U.S. holder may elect to mark-to-market the Ordinary Shares only if they are “marketable stock.” The Ordinary Shares will be treated as “marketable stock” if they are regularly traded on a “qualified exchange.” The ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq, which should be a qualified exchange for this purpose. The Ordinary Shares will be treated as regularly traded in any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of the ordinary shares are traded on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. There can be no certainly that the ordinary shares will be sufficiently traded such as to be treated as regularly traded. In addition, a mark-to-market election generally cannot be made for equity interests in any lower-tier PFICs that we own, unless shares of such lower-tier PFIC are themselves “marketable.” As a result, even if a U.S. holder validly makes a mark-to-market election with respect to our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules described above with respect to its indirect interest in any of our investments that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the PFIC rules. If we are treated as a PFIC, each U.S. holder generally will be required to file a separate annual information return with the IRS with respect to the Company and any lower-tier PFICs.

Medicare Surtax on Net Investment Income

Non-corporate U.S. holders whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally will be subject to 3.8% surtax on their “net investment income” (which generally includes, among other things, dividends on, and capital gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of, our Ordinary Shares). Non-corporate U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible effect of such tax on their ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares.

Additional Reporting Requirements

Certain U.S. holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar thresholds are required to report information to the IRS relating to our Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for our Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return, for each year in which they hold our Ordinary Shares. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to file IRS Form 8938 unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. Also, in the event a U.S. holder does not file IRS Form 8938 or fails to report a specified foreign financial asset that is required to be reported, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. holder for the related taxable year may not close before the date which is three years after the date on which the required information is filed. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares.

Non-U.S. Holders

In general, a non-U.S. holder of our Ordinary Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or, subject to the discussion below under “-Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” U.S. federal withholding tax on any dividends received on our Ordinary Shares or any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares (including, any distribution to the extent it exceeds the adjusted basis in the non-U.S. holder’s ordinary shares) unless:

●the dividend or gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States; or
●in the case of gain only, the non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or disposition, and certain other requirements are met.

A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends received by U.S. holders of our Ordinary Shares, and the proceeds received on the disposition of our Ordinary Shares effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case other than U.S. holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent of the U.S. holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding. Proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Information returns may be filed with the IRS and non-U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding on amounts received in respect of their Ordinary Shares, unless the non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as applicable, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares received in the United States by a non-U.S. holder through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such non-U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or complies with certain certification procedures described above, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and such holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

The preceding discussion is not tax advice. Each prospective investor should consult the prospective investor’s tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state, and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

MATERIAL INDIAN TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general discussion of material Indian tax consequences of ownership and disposition of our registered ordinary shares for investors who are not residents in India as per the Indian Income Tax Act, 2025, or the IT Act. This discussion is based on the provisions of the IT Act, which are in force as of the date of this Annual Report and interpretations thereof as pronounced in judicial precedents and is subject to change.

Also, as mentioned above, the Indian tax consequences summarized below are from the perspective of investors who are non-residents in India as per the provisions of IT Act. Investors who qualify as residents in India shall remain liable for Indian taxes in respect of their global income.

THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL INDIAN TAX CONSEQUENCES IN RELATION TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSAL OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES. FURTHER, THE DISCUSSION BELOW PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE IT ACT, AND INVESTORS MAY BE ENTITLED TO A MORE BENEFICIAL TAX TREATMENT UNDER TAX TREATIES THAT INDIA MAY HAVE ENTERED INTO WITH COUNTRIES OF RESIDENCE OF INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS.

WHILST IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE DISCUSSION BELOW REPRESENTS A REASONABLE INTERPRETATION OF THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE IT ACT, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE (ESPECIALLY IN VIEW OF FACTS SPECIFIC TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR) THAT THE REVENUE AUTHORITIES MAY AGREE WITH SUCH INTERPRETATIONS.

INVESTORS SHOULD THEREFORE CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS ON THE INDIAN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSAL OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES UNDER INDIAN LAW, INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY CONSIDERING THE PROVISIONS OF TAX TREATY BETWEEN INDIA AND THEIR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE.

Investors May be Subject to Indian Taxes on Income Arising Through the Sale of Our Ordinary Shares

As per Section 9(10)(a) of the IT Act, income arising directly or indirectly through the sale of a capital asset being any share or interest in a company incorporated outside of India, will be subject to tax in India if such share or interest directly or indirectly derives its value substantially from assets located in India, irrespective of whether the seller of such shares has a residence, place of business, business connection, or any other presence in India). Further, a share or an interest in an entity is said to derive its value substantially from assets located in India when the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) the value of the assets located in India owned directly or indirectly by an entity whose shares or interest are transferred exceeds INR 100 million and (ii) the value of assets located in India is at least 50% of the value of all assets owned by the entity whose shares or interest are the subject matter of transfer (Section 9(10)(b) of the IT Act). The value of the assets is computed on a fair value basis as per a specific method prescribed under the Income Tax Rules, 2026 (Rule 11). In case taxability is triggered under the aforesaid provisions, capital gains proportionate to the fair value of the Indian assets contributing to the value of the foreign entity whose shares are transferred are regarded as taxable in India. The manner of computing capital gains in such a scenario has been prescribed in the Income Tax Rules, 2026 (Rule 11).

As of the date of this Annual Report, our Ordinary Shares and warrants derive their value substantially from assets located in India, as defined under the IT Act. Hence, investors may be subject to Indian taxes on the income arising from the transfer of our Ordinary Shares/warrants subject to the provisions of respective tax treaties that India has entered into with their country of residence. The income shall be taxable as capital gains, which shall be computed as per the provisions of the IT Act.

However, the IT Act also contains an exemption with respect to alienation of shares by a transferor-investor, whose voting rights or share capital, either individually or along with its Associated Enterprises (as defined in the IT Act) at any time during the 12-month period preceding the date of sale does not exceed five percent of the total voting rights or share capital in the company, provided such transferor-investor is not vested with rights of management or control in any other form.

Provisions Relating to Long Term Capital Gains and Short-Term Capital Gains

Gains arising from transfer of capital asset are charged to tax under the heading “capital gains.” A capital asset may either be a short-term or long-term capital asset, depending on the period of its holding.

Gains arising from a short-term capital asset are short-term capital gains and gains arising from long-term capital asset are long-term capital gains.

Short-term capital gains:

Shares which are not listed on a recognized stock exchange in India are regarded as short-term capital assets, if such shares are held for not more than two years immediately preceding the date of transfer (see Section 2(101) of the IT Act). Gains arising from the transfer of a short-term capital asset are taxed as short-term capital gains.

The rate of tax for short-term capital gains for a foreign company is 35% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) subject to the applicable tax treaty benefit.

For assessee other than foreign companies, the short-term capital gains are taxable at applicable slab rates as prescribed for the relevant financial year and as incorporated in the Indian Finance Act.

Long-term capital gains:

Shares which are not listed on a recognized stock exchange in India are regarded as long-term capital assets, if such shares are held for more than two years immediately preceding the date of transfer (Section 2(66) of the IT Act). Gains arising from the transfer of a long-term capital asset are taxed as long-term capital gains.

The tax rate for long-term capital gains arising on sale of shares which are not listed on a recognized stock exchange in India is 12.50% (as per Section 197(4) of the IT Act) (plus applicable surcharge and cess) subject to the applicable tax treaty benefit.

Carry Forward and Set Off Capital Loss

The losses arising from a transfer of a capital asset in India can only be set off against capital gains and not against any other income in accordance with the IT Act.

A long-term capital loss may be set off only against a long-term capital gain. A short-term capital loss may be set off against a short-term capital gain or long-term capital gain (see Section 111 of the IT Act).

To the extent that the losses are not absorbed in the year of transfer, they may be carried forward for a period of eight years immediately succeeding the year for which the loss was first computed and may be set off against the capital gains assessable for such subsequent years (see Section 111 of the IT Act).

In order to get the benefit of set-off of the capital losses in this manner, the non-resident investor must file appropriate and timely tax returns in India and undergo the standard assessment procedures in India.

Withholding Tax Obligation on the Purchaser of Our Securities

As per Section 393 of the IT Act, every person making any payment to a non-resident, which is chargeable to tax in India is required to deduct tax at the appropriate rates at the time of payment or at the time of credit, whichever is earlier. Therefore, a payer would be required to deduct tax on payments at the rates in force in India or as per the applicable tax treaty, if the said sum is chargeable to tax in India.

Accordingly, any person responsible for making payment on purchase of our Ordinary Shares/warrants from an existing non-resident investor shall be liable to withhold taxes at source if the transferor is liable for Indian taxes on account of the transfer. It is pertinent to note that the payer has an obligation to withhold taxes only when the capital gains arising on transfer of our Ordinary Shares/warrants is chargeable to tax in India. Further, in case benefit of a tax treaty is taken into account by the non-resident transferor, then the Indian law prescribes that appropriate documentation which the payer should maintain while withholding taxes.

Implications under Section 92 of the IT Act

Section 92(2) (m) of the IT Act provides for taxability in the hands of the purchaser of shares, if the purchase is made without consideration or for consideration less than the Fair Market Value of such shares. If any transfer of shares is undertaken at less than FMV of such shares, the difference between the FMV of such shares and purchase consideration would be taxable in the hands of purchaser as “income from other sources” and taxed at the tax rate applicable to regular income. The formula for computing FMV of listed shares takes into account market value of such shares. In case of quoted shares, the traded value of such shares represents the FMV of listed shares.

Taxation of Distributions.

Prior to April 1, 2020, dividend income distributed by Indian companies was generally subject to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”) at the company level and was largely exempt in the hands of shareholders, subject to certain exceptions. With effect from April 1, 2020, India transitioned to the classical system of dividend taxation, pursuant to which dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders.

Under the IT Act, dividend income is taxable in the hands of shareholders at the rates applicable to such shareholders. Accordingly, the Company may be required to withhold tax from dividend payments at the rates prescribed under the IT Act or under an applicable tax treaty (including the Multilateral Instrument, where applicable), subject to the fulfilment of prescribed conditions and documentation requirements by the shareholder.

In addition, Section 148 of the IT Act contains provisions intended to mitigate the cascading effect of dividend taxation by allowing, subject to prescribed conditions, a deduction to an eligible domestic company in respect of specified dividend income received from another domestic company, foreign company or business trust, to the extent such dividend income is further distributed by it.

Further, pursuant to Section 93 of the IT Act, no deduction is generally allowable from dividend income except for interest expense, and such deduction is subject to the limits prescribed under the IT Act, 2025.

Taxation of Employee Stock Options.

Under Section 17 of the IT Act, any specified securities or sweat equity shares allotted or transferred, directly or indirectly, by a company free of cost or at concessional rate to its current or former employees are taxable in the hands of employees as a “perquisite”. The value of the perquisite is the fair market value, or FMV, of the specified security or share as on the date of exercise of the option by the employee as reduced by the amount actually paid by, or recovered from the employee in respect of such security or share. The value of the perquisite so computed is added to the income chargeable to tax in the hands of the employee under the head “salaries” and subject to tax at the rate applicable to the individual employee.
