We note your response to prior comment 4 to our letter dated August 14, 2024 where you provide your analysis to support you conclusion that the puttable compulsory convertible debentures ( puttable CCDs ) qualify for the exception to the definition of a financial liability under paragraph 16A and 16B of IAS 32. Please respond to the following: We note that Clause 12.1 of the Debenture Subscription Agreement dated November 1, 2021 indicates that the Investor CCDs shall rank senior to all other classes of compulsory convertible preference shares and equity shares currently issued and allotted by the Company or as may be issued and allotted in future and that In case of a Insolvency Event, Investor CCDs shall rank senior to all other classes of October 3, 2024 Page 2 compulsory convertible preference shares and equity, in the distribution waterfall of liquidation proceeds. Tell us how this clause does not cause the puttable CCDs to not meet the criteria outlined in 16A(b)(i) and par. AG14C of IAS 32. Please point to the provisions in your agreements which provide that the puttable CCDs are entitled to a pro rata share of the Company s net assets in the event of liquidation, as required by paragraph 16A(a) of IAS 32. Tell us in more detail how you concluded that the total expected cash flows attributable to the puttable CCDs over their life are based substantially on the profit or loss of SISL over the life of the CCDs, as required by paragraph 16A(e) of IAS 32. As part of your response, please address the default interest provision in Clause 15.4.5 of the Debenture Subscription Agreement where the coupon is escalated to such a coupon which would entitle the investor to an increased IRR with respect to all of the Investor CCDs from the date of allotment and subscription of the relevant Investor CCD till the receipt of all the moneys due and payable to the Investor in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Additionally, please ensure your response addresses the STL Put Price, which entitles the holder to certain IRR on the Investor Aggregated Accreted Amount per the Put Option Agreement. 2.
