We hereby submit our response as follows:
a) Whether such event stated in published news were taking place? If so, you are advised to provide the said information along with the sequence of events in chronological order. (Brief Details of the litigation filed against our subsidiary company).

On 18 June 2018, an Amended Complaint to the above law suit was filed which added allegations as to certain of our subsidiaries and additional other generic companies. On 10 May 2019, the Attorney General of the State of Connecticut and additional Attorneys'' General of various U.S. states filed a second lawsuit in Federal Court similarly alleging that Taro Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Taro), our subsidiary, and other companies operating in the U.S. generic drug industry had violated antitrust laws by fixing prices and allocating customers. Please note that our Company, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited is not named in these litigations.
As we understand from our concerned subsidiaries, in their belief, the allegations made in these lawsuits against them are without merit and our concerned subsidiaries will continue to vigorously defend against them.
