While this line of business served the company well over the years, the board of
directors, after comprehensive view on growth potential, and long-term strategic
objectives, identified the need of fundamental realignment of company's business model. In
line with this vision, the Board, at its meeting held on 1st March 2024,

(a) The change of the Company's name to better reflect its new business
identity and future direction; and

Association to align with the proposed business activities.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the above said
decisions were placed before the Members and were duly approved at the Extra Ordinary
General Meeting held on 1st April 2024.

business and transitioned its core focus to the wine industry. The new business focus
encompasses:
(a) The production and marketing of premium wines,
(b) The development of vineyard-based tourism experiences,
(c) Establishment of a brand synonymous with quality winemaking and
hospitality,

journey, laying the foundation for sustainable long-term growth in a premium,
