(1) This calculation is based on 269,099,498 Class A ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares), nominal value of $0.0001 (the “Shares”) of ReNew Energy Global plc, a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales (the “Issuer”), outstanding as of October 12, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form F-3 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-259706) filed on September 21, 2021, as subsequently amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 5, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 13, 2022 and declared effective by the SEC on October 26, 2022.

 

(2) The Reporting Person currently holds 76,501,166 Shares of the Issuer. In addition, the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below) grants the Reporting Person the right to, at its discretion, transfer the ordinary shares of Renew Power Private Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of India and subsidiary of the Issuer (“ReNew India”), held by the Reporting Person (the “India Shares”) to the Issuer in exchange for an aggregate of 12,345,678 Shares. As of March 8, 2023, the Reporting Person is considered to beneficially own an aggregate of 88,846,844 Shares, or 31.6% of the voting rights associated with the outstanding Shares (including 12,345,678 voting rights exercisable by the Reporting Person by virtue of the Class D Share held by the Reporting Person).

 

(3) The Reporting Person also holds one Class D ordinary share of the Issuer, nominal value of $0.0001 (the “Class D Share”). The Class D Share effectively gives the Reporting Person the right to exercise its voting rights as if the Reporting Person had already converted the India Shares into Shares.
