results. The Group shall continue to closely monitor any material changes to
future economic conditions.

business through Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Subex Inc. obtained a
benefit under this scheme for ₹600 Lakhs during May 2020. During the nine
months period ended December 31, 2021, Subex Inc. obtained complete waiver of

and consolidation of business in the listed entity. The Company has sought
approval of shareholders through postal ballot notice dated January 17, 2022
and the result of e-voting will be announced on or before Friday, February 25,
