Dear Sirs,

   Sub:    Updates 

We refer to our intimation made earlier today, wherein we had informed that the board of directors of the Corporation at its meeting held today inter alia noted Saturday, July 1, 2023 to be the effective date of the Scheme of Amalgamation of the Corporation with and into HDFC Bank Limited (HDFC Bank) and accordingly, the Corporation would be dissolved without being wound up with effect from July 1, 2023.

Further, we would like to intimate the following updates:

In order to facilitate the merging of the financials of the Corporation with HDFC Bank, the Corporation had closed its books of accounts a few days prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and accordingly some of the numbers may not be directly comparable with that of the previous year. Kindly note that the figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 are provisional and may be subject to change.

Further, the Corporation's financials shall be converted from Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) to Indian General Accounting Principles (IGAAP) under the merged entity.
