Explanatory Note
Amendment to Memorandum and Articles of Association
Pursuant to Section 12 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the issued share capital of a bank cannot be less than 50% of its authorized capital. In order to enhance our equity capital, enable issuance of new preference shares, when permitted, and facilitate the possible reduction in existing preference share capital, while ensuring compliance with the above restriction, our shareholders, by a postal ballot concluded on June 8, 2007, resolved to amend our Memorandum and Articles of Association in order to alter our authorized share capital.
As a result, our current authorized share capital amounts to Rs. 17.75 billion (Rs. 1775 crore). Our authorized share capital consists of:
  1,275,000,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each,
  15,000,000 shares of Rs. 100 each, and
  350 preference shares of e Rs. 10,000,000 (Rs. 1 crore) each.
 
(Note: Rs. 1 crore = Rs. 10.0 million)
