Explanatory Statement

Kind attention of the Unitholders is drawn to the fact that IRB Infrastructure Developers Limited ("Sponsor"), the sponsor and project manager to the IRB InvIT Fund (the "Trust"), issued a non-binding proposal dated June 6, 2022 in relation to a potential acquisition opportunity for the acquisition of 100% equity shares of VK1 Expressway Private Limited ("VK1") by the Trust from the Sponsor. Thereafter, the Sponsor issued an invitation to offer dated July 22, 2022, VK1 is the concessionaire undertaking the project of eight-laning of Vadodara Kim Expressway from Km. 355.00 to Km. 378.740 (Padra to Vadodara Section of Vadodara Mumbai Expressway) in the state of Gujarat under the NHDP Phase VI on hybrid annuity mode ("VK1 Project"). Brief particulars of the project implemented by VK1 are provided in valuation report. Subsequently, intermediaries and advisors were appointed by the Investment Manager in consultation with the trustee to carry out due diligence and for purposes of evaluation of the acquisition opportunity.

The Trust proposes to acquire 100% of the equity share capital of VK1 from the Sponsor and the provision of a shareholder loan to VK1, the proceeds of which shall be utilized by VK1 for the repayment, in full, of the shareholder loan provided to VK1 by the Sponsor, for an aggregate purchase consideration of Rs. 342 crores. Further, the Sponsor will be appointed as the project manager with respect to VK1 pursuant to a project implementation agreement to provide O&M works for 15 years for an aggregate consideration of Rs. 224 crores on arms-length basis.

The VK1 Acquisition will be undertaken on an arms-length basis (in accordance with the relevant accounting standards), in the best interests of the Unitholders and is consistent with the strategy and investment objectives of the Trust.

EGM Notice, September 5, 2022

IRB InvIT Fund

Pursuant to Regulation 19(3) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014, as amended including any applicable circulars, notifications, guidelines and clarifications issued thereunder from time to time (the "InvIT Regulations"), the VK1 Acquisition requires the approval of Unitholders of the Trust in accordance with Regulation 22(4) of the InvIT Regulations.

The Independent Valuer of the Trust, namely Mr. S Sundararaman (IBB registration number IBBI/RV/06/2018/10238) has issued a full valuation report dated August 5, 2022, in respect of VK1 that contains the necessary disclosures prescribed under the InvIT Regulations (the "Valuation Report") while Baker Tilly DHC Business Private Limited has provided an independent review opinion on the Valuation Report. Please note that a traffic assessment is not relevant for the VK1 Project since it is a hybrid annuity asset and VK1 is entitled to periodic annuity payments from the NHAI in accordance with the terms of the concession agreement.

The Valuation Report is available on the website of the Trust, and has also been made available to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited for the purposes of uploading on their respective websites. A summary of the full Valuation Report is provided as Annexure A hereto. For more information, valuation report is enclosed herewith.

to have any dilutive effect on the existing AAA
