agreement which every listed company enters into with the relevant stock exchange, certain information needs to be disclosed to the stock exchange which is then made available to the general public. SEBI has issued regulations and guidelines on disclosure requirements, insider trading and other matters. There may be less publicly available information about Indian public companies, including us, than is regularly disclosed by public companies in other countries with more mature securities markets. For example, we are not required to and do not publish consolidated financial information other than on an annual basis for our fiscal year ending March 31. As a result you may have access to less information about our business, results of operations and financial conditions, and those of our competitors that are listed on the Indian Stock Exchanges and other stock exchanges in India, on an ongoing basis than you may have in the case of companies subject to reporting requirements of other more developed countries. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a shareholder's ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular point in time. We are subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed by all stock exchanges in India which does not allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breaker is set by the stock exchanges based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The stock exchanges do not inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker from time to time, and may change it without our knowledge. This circuit breaker effectively limits the upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, there can be no assurance regarding the ability of shareholders to sell the Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares. Financial instability and volatility in securities markets in other countries, could disrupt our business and adversely affect the price of our Equity Shares Although economic conditions are different in each country, the Indian market and Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries and investors' reactions to developments in one country may have an adverse effect on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets and the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy, including the movement of exchange rates and interest rates in India, which could adversely affect the Indian financial sector in particular. Any financial disruption could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial performance, shareholders' equity and the price of our Equity Shares. Rights of shareholders under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions. The Company’s Articles of Association, regulation of its Board of Directors and Indian law govern the Company’s corporate affairs. Legal principles relating to these matters and the validity of corporate procedures, Directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as a shareholder than as a shareholder of a corporation in another jurisdiction. 23
