Explanatory Statement pursuant to Section 102 read with Section 110 of the Companies Act, 2013
As required under Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act"), the following explanatory statement sets out all the material facts relating to the business mentioned under item no. 1 of the accompanying Notice.
Item No.1
The members of the Company at the Annual General Meeting held on July 21, 2016 approved Ashok Leyland Employees Stock Option Plan 2016 (AL ESOP 2016) under which 42,68,815 options convertible into equal number of equity shares of Re.1/- each was proposed to be granted to the employees. Subsequently through Postal Ballot, the number of employee stock options was increased to 1,42,29,383. Majority of the options covered under AL ESOP 2016 have been granted and are being exercised by the employees as per vesting schedule.
AL ESOP 2016 formulated and implemented by the Company during the year 2016 has played an important role in motivating the Employees/Directors in contributing to the performance and profitability of the Company. In view of the planned further growth, new hiring anticipated and in order to further enhance Employee/Directors' motivation, rewarding of loyalty, additional Stock Options may need to be granted to the Employees and Directors of the Company in future. Since the previous long-term incentive plan has served its purpose and needed a fresh perspective, it was proposed to introduce a new long-term incentive plan linked to shareholder value creation. In view of the same, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company at their meetings held on November 13, 2018 have approved formulation and implementation of Ashok Leyland Employees Stock Option Scheme 2018 (AL ESOP 2018 or Scheme).
The Company seeks approval of the members in respect of AL ESOP 2018 and grant of Stock Options to the eligible employees of the Company as decided in this behalf from time to time in due compliance of the Regulation 6 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 (SEBI SBEB Regulations).

Options granted under the Scheme shall vest on satisfaction of vesting conditions which can thereafter be exercised resulting in allotment and issue of equity shares of the Company.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (Committee) of the Company shall act as Compensation Committee for administration of AL ESOP 2018. All questions of interpretation of the AL ESOP 2018 shall be determined by the Committee and such determination shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in AL ESOP 2018.
b) Total number of Options to be granted
The total number of options to be granted under AL ESOP 2018 shall not exceed 5,00,00,000 (Five Crore) options. Each option when exercised would be converted into one Equity Share of Re.1/- (Rupee One only) each fully paid-up.
The SEBI SBEB Regulations require that in case of any corporate action(s) such as rights issue, bonus issue, merger and sale of division and others, a fair and reasonable adjustment needs to be made to the options granted. In this regard, the Committee shall adjust the number and price of the options granted in such manner that the total value of the options granted under AL ESOP 2018 remain the same after any such corporate action. Accordingly, if any additional options are issued by the Company to the option grantees for making such fair and reasonable adjustment, the ceiling of 5,00,00,000 (Five Crore) shall be deemed to be increased to the extent of such additional options issued.
c) Identification of classes of employees entitled to participate in AL ESOP 2018

d) Requirements of vesting and period of vesting

The vesting dates in respect of the options granted under the Scheme shall be determined by the Committee and may vary from an employee to employee or any class thereof and/or in respect of the number or percentage of options granted to an employee. Options shall vest based on continuation of employment and achievement of any performance condition(s), if any, for vesting as prescribed by the Committee.
e) Maximum period within which the options shall be vested
All the options granted on any date shall vest not later than a maximum period as may be determined by the Committee subject to continued employment and achievement of performance conditions, if any, as prescribed by the Committee.
