NOTE TO INVESTORS

will be credited to investors' "dematerialized" ("demat"), or book-entry accounts maintained with their
depository participants in India after its board or committee meeting to approve the final allotment, which
is expected to occur on or about March 29, 2016. The crediting of the Equity Shares in book-entry form will be made only after payment for such Equity Shares has been received. Our Company in consultation with the Investor Selling Shareholders and the BRLMs, reserves the right not to proceed with the Offer
after the Bid/Offer Opening Date but before the Allotment. In such an event, our Company would issue a
public notice in the newspapers in which the pre-Offer advertisements were published, within two days of
the Bid/Offer Closing Date or such other time as may be prescribed by SEBI, providing reasons for not
proceeding with the Offer. The Registrar to the Offer, shall notify the SCSBs to unblock the bank
accounts of the ASBA Bidders within one Working Day from the date of receipt of such notification. Our
Company shall also inform the same to the Stock Exchanges on which Equity Shares are proposed to be
listed.
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Company
and the terms of this Offer, including the merits and risks involved. The Equity Shares have not
been approved, disapproved or recommended by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
any state securities commission in the United States, the Securities and Exchange Board of India or the securities commission of any other jurisdiction or any other regulatory authority. None of these
authorities have passed on or endorsed the merits of this Offer or the accuracy or adequacy of this
Preliminary Offering Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the

Prospective investors interested in purchasing any P-Notes have the responsibility to obtain adequate disclosure as to the issuer(s) of any P-Notes and the terms and conditions of any such P-Notes from the

Notes are issued in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, Indian

Shareholders, the BRLMs or any of their respective affiliates make any recommendation as to any

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Preliminary Offering Memorandum contains certain "forward-looking statements". These forward-
looking statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as "aim", "anticipate", "believe",
"expect", "estimate", "intend", "objective", "plan", "project", "will", "will continue", "will pursue" or
other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our Company's strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking
statement.
Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements due to risks
or uncertainties associated with the expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes
pertaining to the industry in which our Company has businesses and its ability to respond to them, its
ability to successfully implement its strategy, its growth and expansion, technological changes, its
exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India and globally which have an impact on its business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation,
deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or
prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in laws, regulations and
taxes and changes in competition in its industry. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from our Company's expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
reported net losses by our Company and some Subsidiaries in the recent fiscal periods and their inability to achieve or sustain profitability in the future;
recurrence of incidents of fraud committed by employees and officers of our Subsidiaries;
unpredictability and variability of our results of operations year after year;
inability to maintain or successfully expand our HCG network and our Milann network or closing down of any of our existing centres;
inability to successfully execute our growth strategy;
outcome of the legal proceedings pending against our Promoters;
resignation of our specialist physicians or our inability to attract or retain such specialist physicians;
adverse economic, regulatory or other developments within Bengaluru, which may materially and adversely affect our centre of excellence in Bengaluru;
failure to receive payments on time from our payers; and
changes in government policies that relate to patients covered by government schemes.
For further discussion of factors that could cause actual future outcomes to differ from those
contemplated, see in particular the sections entitled "Risk Factors", "Our Business" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the attached Red Herring
Prospectus and "Additional Risk Factors for International Investors" of this Preliminary Offering
Memorandum. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially
different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual gains or losses could materially differ
from those that have been estimated.
We cannot assure investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove
to be correct. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements and not to regard such statements as a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of our Company as of the date of this Preliminary
Offering Memorandum and are not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on the
management's beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information.
Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are
reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements
based on these assumptions could be incorrect. Neither our Company, our Directors, the Investor Selling
Shareholders, Other Selling Shareholders, the BRLMs nor any of their respective affiliates have any
obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come
to fruition. In accordance with SEBI requirements, our Company and the BRLMs will ensure that
investors in India are informed of material developments until the time of the grant of listing and trading
- 11-
permission by the Stock Exchanges. The Investor Selling Shareholders and Other Selling Shareholders
severally and not jointly will ensure that investors are informed of material developments in relation to
statements and undertakings made by the Selling Shareholders in the attached Red Herring Prospectus
and the Prospectus until the time of the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock Exchanges.
Further, in accordance with Regulation 51A of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, our Company may be
required to undertake an annual updation of the disclosures made in the attached Red Herring Prospectus
and make it publicly available in the manner specified by SEBI.
- 12-
ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Our Company is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of India. Most of the Directors of
our Company (the "Directors") and the key managerial personnel, named herein, unless otherwise
specified, are residents of India and a substantial portion of assets of our Company and such persons are
located in India. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons outside India or to enforce judgments obtained against such parties outside
India.
India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign
judgments. However, recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Sections
13, 14 and 44A of the CPC.
Section 13 of the CPC provides that a foreign judgment shall be conclusive regarding any matter directly
adjudicated upon except (i) where the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of competent
jurisdiction, (ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case, (iii) where it appears on
the face of the proceedings that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognise the law of India in cases in which such law is applicable, (iv) where the proceedings
in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice, (v) where the judgment has been
obtained by fraud, or (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law in force in
India. A foreign judgment which is conclusive under Section 13 of the CPC may be enforced either by a
fresh suit upon the judgment or by proceedings in execution. The suit must be brought in India within
three years from the date of the judgment by a court in the United States in the same manner as any other
suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. It is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on
the same basis as a foreign court if an action were brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an
Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages awarded as excessive
or inconsistent with Indian practice. A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India may be
required to obtain prior approval from the RBI under the Foreign Exchange Management Act to execute
such a judgment or to repatriate any amount recovered. Any judgment in a foreign currency would be
converted into rupees on the date of judgment and not on the date of payment.
Under Section 14 of the CPC, an Indian court shall, on production of any document purporting to be a certified copy of a foreign judgment, presume that the judgment was pronounced by a court of competent
jurisdiction unless the contrary appears on the record; such presumption may be displaced by proving
want of jurisdiction.
Section 44A of the CPC provides that where a foreign judgment has been rendered by a superior court,
within the meaning of such section, in any country or territory outside India which the Government of
India has by notification declared to be a reciprocating territory, it may be enforced in India by
proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by the relevant court in India. However,
Section 44A of the CPC is applicable only to monetary decrees not being in the nature of any amounts
payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalties and
does not apply to arbitration awards.
The United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong among other jurisdictions have been declared by the
Government to be reciprocating territories for the purposes of Section 44A of the CPC but the United
States has not been so declared. A judgment of a court in a jurisdiction which is not a reciprocating
territory may be enforced only by a fresh suit upon the judgment and not by proceedings in execution.
The suit must be brought in India within three years from the date of the judgment in the same manner as
any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. It is unlikely that a court in India would award
damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action is brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely
that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages awarded as
excessive or inconsistent with public policy. Further, any judgment or award in a foreign currency would
be converted into Indian Rupees on the date of such judgment or award and not on the date of payment
which could also increase risks relating to foreign exchange. A party seeking to enforce a foreign
judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the RBI to repatriate outside India any amount
recovered. Any such amount may be subject to income tax in accordance with applicable laws.

prospects and results of operations could be seriously harmed, the market price of the Equity Shares could decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment in the Equity Shares. Please note that
the risk factors described below do not constitute a comprehensive and exhaustive list of all the risk
factors that may be associated with investment in an Indian company, but are merely meant to give an
indication of the risks that may arise in relation to an investment by a foreign investor in the equity
shares of an Indian company.
Risks Related to Investments in Indian Companies
The Company is incorporated in India, and most of its assets and employees are located in India.
Consequently, our financial performance and the market price of the Equity Shares will be affected by
changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, policies of the Government including taxation policies, as well as political, social and economic developments affecting India.
Currency exchange rate fluctuations may affect the value of the Equity Shares.
The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and other foreign currencies, including the U.S. Dollar, the
British Pound, the United Arab Emirates Dirham, the Euro, the Singapore Dollar, the Australian Dollar,
the Swiss Franc, the Mauritian Rupee, the Kuwaiti Dinar, the South Korean Won, the Cayman Islands
Dollar, the Canadian Dollar and the Hong Kong Dollar, has changed substantially in recent years and may
fluctuate substantially in the future. Fluctuations in the exchange rates may affect the value of your
investment in the Equity Shares. Specifically, if there is a change in the relative value of the Indian Rupee
to a foreign currency, each of the following values will also be affected:
the foreign currency equivalent of the Indian Rupee trading price of the Equity Shares in India;
the foreign currency equivalent of the proceeds that you would receive upon the sale in India of any of the Equity Shares; and
the foreign currency equivalent of cash dividends, if any, on the Equity Shares, which will be paid only in Indian Rupees.
You may be unable to convert Indian Rupee proceeds into a foreign currency of your choice or the rate at
which any such conversion could occur could fluctuate. In addition, our market valuation could be
seriously harmed by the devaluation of the Indian Rupee, if investors in jurisdictions outside India
analyze our value based on the relevant foreign currency equivalent of our financial condition and results
of operations.
Risks Related to the Equity Shares and the Trading Market
There is no public market for the Equity Shares outside India.
After this Offer, there will be no public market for the Equity Shares in the United States or any country
other than India. Our outstanding Equity Shares may be sold in the United States only pursuant to a
registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of
the U.S. Securities Act. This may also affect the liquidity of the Equity Shares and restrict your ability to
sell them.
You may be restricted in your ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and thereby may
suffer future dilution of your ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company incorporated in India must offer holders of its equity shares pre-
emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain their existing
ownership percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have
been waived by adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares who have
voted on the resolution.
- 16-
However, if the law of the jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of such preemptive
rights without our filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in
such jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights, unless we make such a filing. To
the extent that you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares, your
proportional interests in our Company may be reduced.
Your ability to acquire and sell the Equity Shares is restricted by the distribution and transfer
restrictions set forth in this Preliminary Offering Memorandum.
No actions have been taken to permit a public offering of the Equity Shares in any jurisdiction except
India. As such, the Equity Shares have not and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, any
state securities laws or the law of any jurisdiction other than India. Furthermore, the Equity Shares are
subject to restrictions on transferability and resale. You are required to inform yourself about and observe
these restrictions. See the sections entitled "Distribution and Solicitation Restrictions" and "Purchase
Representations and Transfer Restrictions" of this Preliminary Offering Memorandum. Our Company,
our representatives and our agents will not be obligated to recognize any acquisition, transfer or resale of
the Equity Shares made other than in compliance with the restrictions set forth in this Preliminary
Offering Memorandum.
Also, under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-
residents and residents are permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with, among other
things, the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares
does not comply with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements, or falls under any of the
exceptions referred to above, then prior approval of the RBI will be required. If any approval is required
under the applicable foreign exchange regulations, our Company, the Selling Shareholders or the BRLMs
cannot guarantee that such approval will be obtained on terms favourable to a non-resident investor in a
timely manner or at all. Due to possible delays in obtaining the requisite approvals, investors in the Equity
Shares may be prevented from realizing gains during periods of price increases or limiting losses during
periods of price declines. Our Company, our representatives and our agents will not be obligated to
recognize any acquisition, transfer or resale of the Equity Shares made other than in compliance with the
restrictions set forth herein.
Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into
foreign currency and repatriate any such foreign currency from India will require a no objection or a tax
clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authority. We cannot assure you that any required
approval from the RBI or any other Government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.
Risks Related to Taxation
We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which could result in materially
adverse U.S. tax consequences for U.S. investors that own Equity Shares.
We do not expect to be classified as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. However, PFIC status depends on facts that generally are not determinable until
after the close of the taxable year. U.S. investors in our Equity Shares may be subject to materially
adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences if we were classified as a PFIC. U.S. investors should
consult their own tax advisers regarding our PFIC status, the tax considerations relevant to an investment
in a PFIC and any U.S. federal elections that may be available. For additional details, see the section
entitled "Taxation—Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" of this Preliminary Offering
Memorandum.
Certain payments on Equity Shares may be subject to U.S. withholding tax under FATCA
The United States has enacted rules, commonly referred to as "FATCA," that generally impose a new
reporting and withholding regime with respect to certain payments made after December 31, 2018 by
entities that are classified as financial institutions under FATCA. The United States is entering into an
intergovernmental agreement regarding the implementation of FATCA with India (the "IGA"). Under the
IGA that is expected to be entered into, we do not expect payments made on or with respect to the Equity
Shares to be subject to withholding under FATCA. However, because the IGA has not yet been finalized
and significant aspects of when and how FATCA will apply remain unclear, no assurance can be given
that withholding under FATCA will not become relevant with respect to payments made on or with
- 17-
respect to the Equity Shares in the future. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the potential impact of FATCA.

THE SECURITIES MARKET OF INDIA
The information in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents from various
sources, including officially prepared materials from SEBI, BSE and NSE and has not been independently
verified by our Company, the Selling Shareholders, the BRLMs or their respective affiliates or advisers.
Stock Exchange Regulation
India's stock exchanges are regulated primarily by SEBI, as well as by the Government of India acting
through the Ministry of Finance, Capital Market Division, under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act
1956, as amended (the "SCRA") and the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957, as amended (the
"SCRR"). The SCRR along with the rules, bye-laws and regulations of the respective stock exchanges,
regulate the recognition of stock exchanges, the qualifications for membership thereof and the manner in
which contracts are entered into and enforced between members.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (the "SEBI Act") granted powers to SEBI to
regulate the Indian securities markets, including stock exchanges and other intermediaries in the capital
markets, to promote and monitor self-regulatory organisations, to prohibit fraudulent and unfair trade
practices and insider trading and to regulate substantial acquisitions of shares and takeovers of companies.
SEBI has also issued regulations and guidelines concerning minimum disclosure requirements by public
companies, rules and regulations concerning investor protection, insider trading, substantial acquisition of
shares and takeovers of companies, buyback of securities, delisting of securities, employee stock option
schemes, stockbrokers, merchant bankers, underwriters, mutual funds, FIIs, credit rating agencies and
other capital market participants. For details in relation to the procedure involved under the Issue, see the
section entitled "Issue Procedure" of the attached Red Herring Prospectus.
Listing
The listing of securities on a recognised Indian stock exchange is regulated by the Companies Act, the
SCRA, the SCRR, the SEBI Act and various regulations and guidelines issued by the SEBI and the listing
agreement of the respective stock exchanges, under which the governing body of each stock exchange is
empowered to suspend trading of or dealing in a listed security for breach of the Company's obligations
under such agreement, subject to the company receiving prior notice of such intent of the stock exchange
and upon granting a hearing in the matter.
All listed companies are required to ensure that their minimum level of public shareholding remains at or
above 25%. A public company seeking to get a particular class or kind of securities listed shall offer and
allot to the public (i) at least 25% of such class or kind of securities issued by the company, if the post
issue capital is less than or equal to ₹1,600,00,00,000, (ii) at least such percentage of such class or kind of
securities issued by the company equivalent to ₹4,00,00,00,000, if the post issue capital of the company is more than ₹16,000,000,000 but less than or equal to ₹40,00,00,00,000 or (iii) at least 10% of such class or
kind of securities issued by the company, if the post issue capital of the company is above
₹40,00,00,00,000. In the case of (ii) and (iii) above, the public shareholding is required to be increased to
25% within a period of three years from the date of listing of the securities. Where the public
shareholding in a listed company falls below 25% at any time, such company shall bring the public
shareholding to 25% within a maximum period of 12 months from the date of such the public
shareholding having fallen below the 25% threshold. In this regard, SEBI has amended the listing
agreement and has provided several mechanisms to comply with this requirement.
The SEBI has also recently notified the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirement) Regulations 2015 (the "Listing Regulations") which will govern the obligations
which are currently prescribed under the Listing Agreement. The Listing Regulations have come into
force since December 1, 2015.
In order to restrict abnormal price volatility in any particular stock, the SEBI has instructed stock
exchanges to apply daily circuit breakers which do not allow transactions beyond a certain level of price
