MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS:

Scheme of Arrangement: The Board of Directors in their
meeting held on 23rd May, 2024 have approved the Scheme
of Arrangement (Merger by Absorption of two Transferor
Companies into Transferee Company), ("the Scheme"),
between Savarwadi Rubber Agro Private Limited ("First
Transferor Company" and "SRAPL") and Treeo Resorts Private

Limited ("Second Transferor Company" and "TRPL") and
Kamat Hotels (India) Limited ("Transferee Company" and
"KHIL’) and their respective Shareholders and Creditors in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 230 to 232 read
with Section 66 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") and
other applicable provisions, if any, of the Companies Act,
2013 and the rules made thereunder including Companies
(Compromise, Arrangements & Amalgamations) Rules, 2016,
as amended from time to time, and in accordance with the
provisions of Memorandum and Articles of Association
of the Company, subject to the requisite approval of the
shareholders/ creditors/ debenture holders/ debenture
trustee of the Company and the sanction of the jurisdictional
National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and/or such other
competent authority, as may be applicable.

The First Transferor Company is a part of the promoter and
promoter group of the Transferee Company. However, neither
of the Transferor Companies are engaged in significant
business operations. The First Transferor Company owns
a freehold land in Vile Parle East, Mumbai, which houses a
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) Unit utilized by the Transferee
Company. The Transferee Company continues to utilize
this property. The Second Transferor Company owns a non¬
agricultural land and building situated on Mumbai-Ahmedabad
Highway in the village of Saye, Palghar District, Thane, which
makes it suitable and ideally located for KHIL to develop and
operate future hotel/resort projects including residential
projects on this TRPL land. The Management of the Transferee
Company is of the view that the proposed Scheme of merger
by absorption/ amalgamation will enhance stakeholder's
wealth and streamline the group's structure, resulting
in improved administrative and operational efficiency.
Therefore, to simplify and enhance operational efficiency,
it is proposed to restructure the group by merging the two
Transferor Companies into the Transferee Company. A robust
governance structure to ensure and enhance compliances.

The Company had submitted to the Stock Exchanges the
Draft Scheme of Arrangement for merger by Absorption
between Savarwadi Rubber Agro Private Limited (SRAPL),
Treeo Resort Private Limited (TRPL) and Kamat Hotels (India)
Limited (KHIL) along with all the other documents required as

However, as per the requirements of the Stock exchanges,
the Company has revised the draft Scheme along with
its annexures in their duly convened Board and Board
Committee's meetings held on 12th August, 2024. Thereafter
the revised draft Scheme has been submitted to the Stock
Exchanges. The details with respect to the revised draft
Scheme has also been updated at the website of the Company
at
https://www.khil.com/merger.html .

Further, the Company has received No Objection certificate
("NOC") from the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the
National Stock Exchange (NSE) to the proposed scheme, on
May 22, 2025, as required under Regulation 37 of the SEBI
Listing Regulations.

The Board and the Board Committees of the Company in their
meetings held on 12th August, 2024, accorded their approval
to compensate Savarwadi Rubber Agro Private Limited ("First
Transferor Company" and "SRAPL") for the purpose of allowing
the Company to use the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP unit)
situated on the plot area owned by SRAPL. The Compensation
payable to SRAPL would be through issue and allotment of
New Equity Shares of Kamat Hotels (India) Limited ("the
Company") to the shareholders of SRAPL pursuant to the
Scheme of Arrangement as per the Share Exchange Ratio
derived by the Registered Valuer, which was considered and
approved by the Board of Directors and Board Committees.
The aforesaid issue and allotment of Shares to SRAPL will be
post receipt of approval on the Draft Scheme of Merger by
absorption from the Shareholders and National Company Law
Tribunal (NCLT) and such other approvals as may be required
in this regard.

Further, with reference to Note No.48.4 and Note No. 54.4
of the Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31st March, 2025, respectively, which are
annexed to this Report, the Board and the Board Committee

of SRAPL pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement as per
the Share Exchange ratio derived by the Registered Valuer,
