(1) This calculation is based on 269,647,998 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 September 9, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 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 September 12, 2022.

(2) The Reporting Person currently holds 64,867,691 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 September 23, 2022, the Reporting Person is considered to beneficially own an aggregate of 77,213,369 Shares, or 27.4% 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.

The Reporting Person beneficially owns, and has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to, 77,213,369 Shares, representing approximately 27.4% 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).

Such percentages are calculated based on 269,647,998 Shares outstanding as of September 9, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 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 September 12, 2022.

On September 23, 2022, the Reporting Person entered into the September Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The September Sale and Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and is conditioned upon confirmation by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as the Issuer's transfer agent and registrar, that it has received all documents and information from GSW necessary to amend the registers of holders of Shares and Class C Shares to reflect the transfers contemplated thereunder. Pursuant to the September Sale and Purchase Agreement, (i) GSW has agreed not to transfer any shares in the capital of the Issuer, depositary receipts or Identified Rights (as defined in the A&R Articles) in respect of such shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such shares, depository receipts or Identified Rights (as defined in the A&R Articles) (the “Securities”) for a period of six months from the completion under the September Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), subject to certain exceptions set out in the September Sale and Purchase Agreement, (ii) GSW has agreed that for a period of three months from the expiration of the Standstill Period, subject to certain exceptions set out in the September Sale and Purchase Agreement, any transfers by GSW of any Securities will be subject to the Reporting Person’s right of first refusal pursuant to the terms of the September Sale and Purchase Agreement and (iii) GSW has agreed to assign to the Reporting Person the registration rights under the RRCPA associated with the Class A Shares and the Class C Shares underlying the depositary receipts that GSW has agreed to sell and the Reporting Person has agreed to purchase pursuant to the September Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Purchase Agreement (Lock-Up Securities) and the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
