In other words, by passing a special resolution, now it is left to the company to decide the remuneration payable to Non-Executive Directors. In view of increased responsibility of Non-Executive Directors, in particular, Non-Executive Independent Directors, it is necessary to authorize the Board of Directors of the Company to take suitable decision in this connection. Hence, need for this resolution.

The Board of Directors of the Company, on recommendation of Nomination and Remuneration Committee have decided to pay remuneration as mentioned below by way of commission (in addition to sitting fees) to the Non-Executive Directors who were on the Board as on March 31, 2020:

Name Amount (in`)
Mr. Naveen Kumar Kshatriya, Mrs. Anupa Rajiv Sahney, Mr. Kewal Kundanlal Handa, Mr. P. K. Kheruka `8,00,000 each
Mr. K. B. S. Anand `4,65,574/-

Borosil Glass Works Limited (BGWL) had paid ` 8 lakhs to each of its Non-Executive Directors on pro-rata basis for the financial year 2018-19. Mr. Naveen Kumar Kshatriya, Mrs. Anupa Rajiv Sahney, Mr. Kewal Kundanlal Handa and Mr. K. B. S. Anand were independent Directors in that company. They have now accepted similar assignments in our company effective February 03, 2020. However, throughout the financial year, they were associated with scientific & industrial ware division and consumer ware division businesses and hence as a matter of equity and fairness, the Board has decided to pay them and Mr. P. K. Kheruka similar commission for the financial year 2019-20, as BGWL (BRL) is not paying any commission to them for the said period.

ITEM NO. 12 and 13

Equity based compensation is considered to be an integral part of employee compensation across sectors which enables alignment of personal goals of the employees with organizational objectives. Your Company believes in rewarding its employees including Directors of the Company along with employees of the subsidiaries for their continuous hard work, dedication and support, which has led the Company on the growth path. The Company intends to implement Employee Stock Option Scheme with a view to attract and retain key talents working with the Company by way of rewarding their performance and motivate them to contribute to the overall corporate growth and profitability.

As required under the Composite scheme of amalgamation and arrangement (“Scheme”), with a view to restore the value of the employee stock options (“Options”) pre and post demerger by providing fair adjustment in respect of your Options granted under the stock option scheme of Borosil Renewables Limited, (formerly Borosil Glass Works Limited) namely, ‘Borosil Employee Stock Option Scheme 2017’(“ESOS 2017”), the Company has approved and adopted the new employee stock option scheme namely, ‘Borosil Limited – Special Purpose Employee Stock Option Plan 2020’(“ESOP 2020”) in its Board Meeting held on February 03,2020. Pursuant to the provisions of the Scheme and ESOP 2020, the Company has granted 1 (one) Option under the ESOP 2020 for every 1 (one) Option held under ESOS 2017 whether vested or not with revised exercise price.

Since ESOS 2020 was a special purpose ESOS meant for respective selected option holders under ESOS 2017, it was thought prudent to implement the new Borosil Limited Employee Stock Option Scheme 2020 (“NEW ESOS 2020”) for the permanent employees including Directors of the Company.

The Company seeks members’ approval in respect of NEW ESOS 2020 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”).

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“Committee”) of the Company shall administer NEW ESOS 2020. All questions of interpretation of the NEW ESOS 2020 shall be determined by the Committee and such determination shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in NEW ESOS 2020.

Each option when exercised would be converted into one Equity Share of ` 1/- each fully paid-up.

Options lapsed or cancelled due to any reason including the reason of lapse of exercise period or due to resignation of the employees/ Directors or otherwise, would be available for being re-granted at a future date. The Committee is authorized to re-grant such lapsed / cancelled options as per the NEW ESOS 2020.

Further, the SEBI Regulations require that in case of any corporate action(s) such as rights issues, bonus issues, 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 a manner that the total value of the options granted under NEW ESOS 2020 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 52,59,590 (Fifty Two Lacs Fifty Nine Thousand Five Hundred Ninety) shall be deemed to be increased to the extent of such additional options issued.

III OTHER INFORMATION
1. Reasons for inadequate profits During the preceding financial year i.e. 2019-20, the Company had adequate profits to pay
managerial remuneration within the limits prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013.
However, in the current financial year, in view of prevailing COVID 19 pandemic, the profitability
of the Company will get impacted and there may be inadequate profit, the exact extent of
which can’t be worked out as of now.
2. Steps taken or proposed to be taken
for Improvement
While Scientific & industrial Product division is doing reasonably good, performance of
Consumer ware division, which was badly affected, is now gradually picking up. With the
opening of shops and malls, the Consumerware business is likely to get momentum. The
Company is taking all possible steps to improve turnover and profitability by adopting suitable
marketingstrategy.
3. Expected increase in productivity and
profits in measurable terms.
As above mentioned above, in the short run, there will be pressure on profitability because of
various restrictions but medium term and long term growth story remains intact. The business
of the Company is gradually improving and with the likely control over the spread of pandemic,
the profitability will definitely increase but can’t be quantified at present. The Company is
keepingconstant watch on the situation.
