Note: Azure has put in certain prequalifying bids on certain projects. If these prequalifying bids are attractive enough, Azure will be invited to bid a PPA price in the auctions for those specific projects. Each bidder is expected to start at their prequalifying bid and bid lower to win. However, if Azure’s prequalifying bid ends up to be the lowest bid (even if Azure does not lower its PPA bid price below its prequalifying bid in the auction), Azure may have to come up with $20m-$25m of incremental equity to finance these new wins. However, the risk in this respect is limited as Azure has historically not won projects as the lowest bidder and its pre-qualifying bids have tended to be good enough to be accepted into the auction, but not low enough to end up as the lowest price in the auction.

 

* Per the above note, Azure will not participate in new bids post closure of Series I, but there are some on file that could add to Azure’s cash requirements in Q3 and Q4.
** Per the above note, Azure will not participate in new bids post closure of Series I, but there are some on file that could add to Azure’s cash requirements in Q3 and Q4.

1. Issue Price

The Series I CCPS shall have the issue price of USD 450.16 (Dollars Four Hundred Fifty Point One Six) (the “Series I CCPS Issue Price”).

 

2. Dividend

Each of the holders of Series I CCPS shall be entitled to receive a dividend of 8% in USD (eight per cent) per annum on a cumulative basis calculated on the Series I CCPS Issue Price. Subject to the Applicable Law, each holder of Series I CCPS shall be individually entitled, in addition and cumulative to the above, to participate in the distribution of the profits of the Company if made to the other shareholders (including the holders of Equity Shares and compulsorily convertible preference shares, but excluding Proparco CCPS) of the Company assuming that all Series I CCPS have been converted to Equity Shares at the Normal Conversion Factor set out below.

Pursuant to the above, it is clarified that the Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on Shares of any other class or kind of share capital (other than Proparco CCPS) unless the holders of the Series I CCPS first receive (on a pari passu basis with the holders of Series H CCPS) a dividend on each Series I CCPS equal to the sum of: (i) 8% in USD (eight per cent) per annum on a cumulative basis calculated on the Series I CCPS Issue Price; and (ii) the corresponding dividend that the holders of Series I CCPS would receive (assuming that all Series I CCPS have been converted to Equity Shares at the Normal Conversion Factor)if the profits of the Company are distributed to the other Shareholders of the Company.

The dividend pay-out as set out under this paragraph 2 shall be payable in cash or in kind, as the Board of the Company declares.

 

3. Term

Unless converted in accordance with the terms of this Schedule, the Charter of the Company and the Applicable Law, the term of the Series I CCPS shall be a maximum of 20 (twenty) years from their respective date of issuance.

 

4. Voting

 

4.1 The holders of Series I CCPS shall be entitled to attend all meetings of Shareholders of the Company. Holders of Series I CCPS shall be entitled to vote on all matters which affect their rights directly or indirectly. The voting rights of each Series I CCPS on every resolution placed before the Company shall, to the extent permissible under the Applicable Law, be in proportion to the percentage in the share capital of the Company that such Series I CCPS represents, assuming that the Series I CCPS have been converted into Equity Shares of the Company on the basis of the Normal Conversion Factor set out below.

 

16


4.2 From the date of conversion of the Series I CCPS into Equity Shares, the voting percentage of their holders in the Company shall be in proportion to their shareholding in the Company.

 

5. Conversion

 

5.1 The Series I CCPS may be convertible into Equity Shares of the Company at any time at the option of the holders of the Series I CCPS in accordance with paragraph 5.2. Any Series I CCPS that have not been converted into the Equity Shares of the Company shall compulsorily convert into the Equity Shares of the Company in accordance with paragraph 5.3 below, upon the earlier of:

 

  (i) immediately prior to or simultaneously with or upon the completion of the listing of the Equity Shares pursuant to the QIPO or IPO, as recommended by the merchant bankers for such QIPO or IPO, such that the conversion of Series I CCPS provides its holders the return in terms of paragraph 5.3(i)(ii) or paragraph 5.3(i)(iii), as applicable; and

 

  (ii) the date which is 20 (twenty) years from the date of the issuance of Series I CCPS (the “Maturity Date”),

in each case in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. It is clarified that the Series I CCPS shall convert on the listing of the Equity Shares pursuant to the QIPO or IPO as approved by the Shareholders, if all existing Equity Securities (including the IFC Securities, Helion Securities, FC Securities, DEG Securities, Proparco Securities, the Series G CCPS and the Series H CCPS) convert on or before the date of conversion of the Series I CCPS.

 

5.2 Optional Conversion

 

  (i) The holders of the Series I CCPS shall severally have the right, at any time and from time to time at their sole option after issuance, to require the Company, by written notice (“Conversion Notice”), to convert their respective Series I CCPS into Equity Shares of the Company. A copy of the Conversion Notice shall also be sent to the Sponsors, Proparco, Helion, FC, DEG and IFC, who are the other Shareholders of the Company.

 

  (ii) In case the conversion occurs prior to the expiry of the Maturity Date, then the conversion shall be completed within a period of 21 (twenty-one) days from the date of the Conversion Notice.

 

  (iii) Normal Conversion Factor”: The Series I CCPS will be convertible into the Equity Shares of the Company at an initial conversion ratio of 1:1 (i.e. 1 (one) Series I CCPS will convert into 1 (one) Equity Share), without being required to pay any amount for such conversion, and shall be adjusted for:

 

  (i) dividends declared and not paid in accordance with paragraph 2 above;

 

  (ii) share splits, recapitalization or similar events;

 

  (iii)

the anti-dilution protection to the holders of Series I CCPS such that Series I CCPS convert into more number of Equity Shares to ensure that their shareholding in the Company on As If Converted Basis after conversion of CCDs and Proparco CCPS is same as before the conversion of CCDs and Proparco CCPS. This anti-dilution protection shall also be available to holders of Series I CCPS on the redemption or buy-back of CCDs and/or Proparco CCPS (where implemented without being converted into Equity Shares)

 

17


assuming such CCDs or Proparco CCPS as the case may be are converted into Equity Shares before their redemption or buy-back and shall be considered for the purpose of giving effect to this anti-dilution protection to the holders of Series I CCPS. For reference, the shareholding percentage on As If Converted Basis that is represented by Series I CCPS as of the Subscription Date is 6.49%.

The Normal Conversion Factor is specified based on the assumption that all the existing Equity Securities (including the IFC Securities, Helion Securities, FC Securities, DEG Securities, Proparco Securities, the Series G CCPS and the Series H CCPS) have converted on or before the date of conversion of the Series I CCPS.

 

  (iv) The Conversion Notice shall be dated and shall set forth:

It is clarified that if there are more than 1 (one) New Issuances undertaken by the Company that entitles the holder of Series I CCPS for the issue of New CCPS as per above, then holders of Series I CCPS shall be entitled for only incremental benefits or adjustment to Series I CCPS Issue Price for any subsequent New Issuance after the benefits for the first such New Issuance are provide by the Company.
