TIMELINE & INVESTOR MARKETING STRATEGY
Key Mechanics
➢ Prisma.ai is currently headquartered and global operations being held through ➢ Prisma Singapore (current entity) to set up a new entity in Singapore (new
Singapore operating company)
➢ Prisma has a subsidiary in India – Prisma Global Ltd ➢ Business, IP and subsidiaries of Prisma Singapore to be sold to the new Op Co
against which new Op Co will issue shares to Prisma Singapore
➢ In order for the company to be listed in India, the numbers of the company will
need to be consolidated in/ under Prisma India as well ➢ Prisma India to purchase shares of New Op co against issuance of it’s shares to
Prisma Singapore
➢ A similar approach was used by Capillary to restructure. There may also be other
ways to restructure which can be explored

As per stock exchanges’ listing requirements, an Issuer need to have a paid-up equity share capital of at least Rs.10Cr
May consider Bonus/ Split before filing DRHP to optimize capital structure and to meet stock exchange requirements
Shares arising from a bonus issue will attract short term capital gains tax if held for a period of < 2 years at the time of IPO.
To minimize the tax implications, we recommend a bonus issue of shares along with split from the current face value
May need to increase / alter the authorized share capital as we recommend bonus / split before IPO with dual objective viz., tax efficiency and
IPO pricing affordability to the retail investor category. Moreover, any fresh issuance may also require an increase in the authorized share
capital
In case of any outstanding convertible securities, the same is required to be converted prior to the filing of DRHP/ RHP.
Only such fully paid-up equity shares may be offered for sale to the public, which have been held by the sellers for a period of at least one year
prior to the filing of the DRHP
Holding period of such convertible securities as well as that of resultant equity shares together shall be considered for the purpose of
