APAC has proposed to enter into a retention and profit sharing agreement (the “Retention and Profit Sharing Agreement” ) with Mr. Karan Bhagat and Mr. Yatin Shah (together, the “Beneficiary Promoters” ) setting out the terms of compensation in lieu of the Beneficiary Promoters performing their respective duties of managing the business of the Company and in recognition of their strong leadership and strategic direction towards the growth of the Company and enhancement of shareholder value. The proposed payment(s) under the Retention and Profit Sharing Agreement are aimed at aligning the interests of Beneficiary Promoters and all other shareholders of the Company including BC Asia, and thereby enhancing overall shareholder value.
Further, the payment of any amount under the Retention and Profit Sharing Agreement will be made by APAC (or its affiliates and/or designees) and not by the Company or any other shareholders of the Company and hence there is no financial impact / burden on the Company or any other shareholders of the Company.
APAC (or its affiliates and/or designees) proposes to make certain payments to the Beneficiary Promoters in accordance with the terms of the Retention and Profit Sharing Agreement, which are subject to (a) continued employment of Beneficiary Promoters with the Company and/or its subsidiaries, (b) restriction on the transfer and encumbrance of certain shares in the Company held by the Beneficiary Promoters and their affiliates and (c) certain non-compete and non-solicit obligations of the Beneficiary Promoters.
The key features of the proposed payments to the Beneficiary Promoters are as follows:
-
(a) an upfront payment of a total of Rs. 30/- per share for certain equity shares of the Company as may be acquired by APAC and/or its subsidiaries including the Sale Shares as an aggregate compensation to Mr. Karan Bhagat and Mr. Yatin Shah; and
-
(b) subject to the satisfaction of certain thresholds set out in the Retention and Profit Sharing Agreement, an amount payable to the Beneficiary Promoters, representing certain percentage (“ Profit Sharing Percentage ”) of the net profits realised by APAC in connection with their investment in the Company. The relevant Profit Sharing Percentage, as set out in the Retention and Profit Sharing Agreement, is dependent on multiple of the invested capital (MoM) and returns (IRR) realised by APAC in connection with its investment in the Company. By way of an example, if the MoM is 2.5 and IRR is 15%, then the Profit Sharing Percentage is 6.7% and the Beneficiary Promoters will be paid 6.7% of the net profits realized by APAC.
Regulation 26(6) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the “Listing Regulations” ), mandates that director of a listed entity shall not enter into any agreement with any shareholder or any third party, with regard to compensation or profit sharing in connection with the dealings in the securities of such listed entity, unless prior approval of the board of directors and public shareholders has been obtained by way of an ordinary resolution.
Accordingly, the Board, at its meeting dated September 30, 2022, has considered and approved the proposed Retention and Profit Sharing Agreement, a copy of which will be made available for inspection to a shareholder upon their request in the manner as specified in note no. 8 of this Notice. The Board recommends the resolution set out at item no. 2 of this Notice for approval by public shareholders of the Company as an ordinary resolution.
All interested persons involved shall abstain from voting on this resolution. Accordingly, Mr. Karan Bhagat and Mr. Yatin Shah and their relatives, may be deemed to be interested in this resolution and shall not vote on this resolution. None of the other directors or key managerial personnel and their respective relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise in this resolution. None of the promoters, directors and key managerial personnel of the Company hold any shares in APAC.
