Equity & Equity Related Instruments Security Type Listed Equity/Preference Shares/Warrants/Rights Valuation Policy On a particular valuation day, these securities will be valued at the last quoted closing price on the principle Stock Exchange i.e. National Stock Exchange (NSE). If a security is not traded on NSE, it will be valued at the last quoted closing price on the BSE Limited (BSE).If a security is not traded on NSE and BSE, it will be valued at the last quoted closing price on other recognised stock exchange where the security is traded. If the security is traded on more than one recognised stock exchanges (other than NSE and BSE), it will be valued at the last quoted closing price on the stock exchange as may be selected by the Valuation Committee, and the reasons for such selection will be recorded in writing. If a security is not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the last quoted closing price on NSE or BSE or other recognized stock exchange (in the order of priority as decided by the valuation committee) on the earliest previous day would be used, provided such day is not more than thirty days prior to the valuation day. Initial Public Offering (IPO) Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP)/Follow on Public Offer Convertible Debentures and Bonds Valuation methodology to be followed would be same as in the case of traded securities from the date of listing of securities on the stock exchange. The securities shall be valued at the allotment/bid price (i.e. cost) for the interim period between allotment date and listing date. Valuation methodology to be followed would be same as in the case of Listed Equity Shares from the date of allotment. In respect of convertible debentures and Bonds, the nonconvertible and convertible components shall be valued separately. The non convertible component should be valued on the same basis as would be applicable to debt instrument. If, after conversion the resultant equity instrument would be treated paripassu with an existing instrument which is traded, the value of the latter instrument can be adopted at an appropriate discount for the non-tradability of the instrument during the period preceding the conversion. While valuing such instruments, the fact whether the conversion is optional or compulsory should be factored in. The appropriate discount for 6

Security Type Thinly Traded Equity Shares (*) Unlisted Equity Shares / Preference Shares/ Warrants/ Rights/Demerger (*) Options Futures Valuation Policy the non-tradability of the instrument will be decided by the Valuation Committee and the decision of the same shall be recorded in writing. Thinly traded securities will be valued at fair value as per procedures determined by the Valuation Committee. The definition of thinly traded securities is as mentioned in SEBI (MF) Regulations. Securities will be valued at fair value as per procedures determined by the Valuation Committee. In case of Options, premium received / paid is marked to market based on the settlement prices on NSE. Outstanding contracts in Futures will be valued at the last quoted settlement price on the NSE. *Current Procedure & Methodology for valuation of unlisted or thinly traded equity/equity related securities is as under: 1. Unlisted / Non-traded/ Thinly Traded Equity Shares: The methodology is given as under:- 1) Based on the latest available audited Balance Sheet, net worth shall be calculated as follows: Net Worth per share = Share Capital + Free Reserves (excluding Revaluation Reserves) Miscellaneous Expenditure not written off, deferred revenue expenditure, intangible assets and accumulated losses divided by Number of Paid up Shares. 2) Average capitalization rate (P/E ratio) for the industry based upon either BSE or NSE data (which should be followed consistently and changes, if any noted with proper justification thereof) shall be taken and discounted by 75% i.e. only 25% of the Industry average P/E shall be taken as capitalization rate (P/E ratio). Earnings per share of the latest audited annual accounts will be considered for this purpose. 3) The value as per the net worth value per share and the capital earning value calculated as above shall be averaged and further discounted by 10%, in case of thinly traded and non traded securities & 15% in case of unlisted securities for ill-liquidity so as to arrive at the fair value per share. 4) In case the EPS is negative, EPS value for that year shall be taken as zero for arriving at capitalised earning. 5) In case where the latest balance sheet of the company is not available within nine months from the close of the year, unless the accounting year is changed, the shares of such companies shall be valued at zero. 7

6) In case an individual security accounts for more than 5% of the total assets of the scheme, an independent valuer shall be appointed for the valuation of the said security. To determine if a security accounts for more than 5% of the total assets of the scheme, it should be valued by the procedure above and the proportion which it bears to the total net assets of the scheme to which it belongs would be compared on the date of valuation. 7) An unlisted equity share may be valued at a price lower than the value derived using the aforesaid methodology, at the discretion of the AMC, the reasons of the same recorded in writing. An unlisted equity share may be valued at a price higher than the value derived using the aforesaid methodology with adequate justification and with the prior approval of the Trustees. 2. Valuation in case of Corporate Action The unlisted equity shares allotted as result of corporate action of demerger/amalgamation will be valued at the intrinsic value on the ex-date. The methodology of calculation of intrinsic value which shall be reviewed by Valuation Committee periodically is given as under:- A) Demerger of Shares:- i. Scenario I: In case of demerge where both the entities are listed and traded after demerger, the valuation methodology adopted would be the same as in the case of listed equity shares. ii. Scenario II: Demerger where the demerger company is continued to be listed and the demerged entity is unlisted and shall get listed at a later date the valuation of both the entities shall be done as follows:- Demerger Entity: Valuation methodology adopted would be the same as in the case of listed equity shares. Demerged Entity: Intrinsic Value to be derived based on Market value of the Original traded shares on one trading day prior to the ex-date of demerger minus market value of demerged traded shares on ex-date. This price for the non-traded share shall be constant till listing of the non-traded shares. In case value of the traded share of the Demerged Company is equal or in excess of the value of pre - demerger share, then the non-traded share is to be valued at zero. The same would be reviewed by the Valuation committee every thirty days if the security is not listed. 8

iii. Scenario III: Demerger where both the entities i.e. Demerger and Demerged Companies are unlisted and shall get listed at a later date valuation shall be done as follows: Shares of these companies are to be valued equal to the pre demerger value (one trading day prior to the ex-date) up to the date of listing. The market value of the shares to be bifurcated in the ratio of cost of shares as may be obtained by prescribed demerger ratio. Example: Closing Pre Ex-date Market price* Ratio of Allocation of Assets to Demerged Entities The valuation of shares of these companies same would be reviewed by the Valuation committee every thirty days if the security is not listed. B) Amalgamation:- Scenario I: In case shares are traded on amalgamation, the valuation methodology adopted would be the same as in the case of listed equity shares. Scenario II: In case where shares are not traded on merger, shares of merged company are to be valued equal to the pre merger value (one trading day prior to the ex-date) upto a period of thirty days from the date of merger. The valuation of shares of these companies would be reviewed by the Valuation committee every thirty days if the security is not listed. 3. Preference Shares Preference share can be convertible or non- convertible. The non-convertible preference share will be valued at the present value of all the future expected dividend payments and the maturity value, discounted at the expected return on preference share The value of convertible preference share can be expressed as follows: Preference shares dividend Price of convertible = X Face Value Preference Share Expected return on Preference Share If preference shares are traded on the stock exchange then the valuation methodology adopted for Listed Preference Shares shall be adopted. 4. Warrants - Warrants will be valued at the value of the share which would be obtained on exercise of the warrant as reduced by the amount which would be payable on exercise of the warrant. The value arrived will be reduced by appropriate discount as decided by the valuation committee. If Warrants are traded on the stock exchange then the valuation methodology adopted for Listed Warrants shall be adopted. 9

5) Right entitlements & Right Shares- I) Right Entitlements The right entitlements shall be valued using the below mentioned formulae. Valuation Price = (Closing Price- Right Offer Price) of Underlying Equity Shares. In case where the closing price falls below the right offer price, right entitlements value shall be considered as becomes zero. In case the right entitlement is traded on the stock exchanges then the close price shall be considered for valuation of entitlements. II) Right Shares The listed right shares are to be valued as per methodology adopted for listed equity shares. The cost price considered for the right shares would be the offer price paid for the right shares. III) Suspended Shares: If a listed security is suspended for a certain period, then up to thirty days the last traded price would be used for valuation and after thirty days the valuation methodology would be decided on a case to case basis and approved by the valuation committee Debt & Debt Related Instruments Security Type Government Securities (including State Government) with residual maturity <=60 days Valuation Policy Traded Securities / Non- Traded Securities Traded Securities (Own) Government securities will be valued at weighted average traded price/yield on the date of trade.
